Munir's Self-Preservation Action Deepens Hardship for Pakistanis

The 57-year-old Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir, facing a disgruntled public and dissent within his own ranks, allegedly ordered the Pahalgam massacre to divert attention from himself and foster pro-military sympathy among the country's people, according to assessments by relevant sources.

Munir, whose tenure was extended from three to five years until November 2027, with speculation about further extensions, leads an army accused of ousting one of Pakistan's most popular political figures in recent times, former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

This move, coupled with revelations about Pakistani army generals owning significant movable and immovable assets both in Pakistan and abroad, has led to widespread negative perceptions of the institution among its people for the first time in the country's history.
