Pakistan: How Asim Munir’s power grab exposes a broken state (IANS Analysis) New Delhi, Nov 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Pakistan’s latest constitutional drama has exposed, yet again, the hollowness of its so-called democracy. But the tragedy this time didn’t unfold with tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue or generals announcing martial law on primetime television. The country has witnessed something even more disturbing: a slow, polished, paperwork-driven coup carefully designed to look respectable. Pakistan’s parliament, already known for its obedience to the military, has quietly fortified the uniformed institution that has dominated the country since 1958.

Behind Pakistan’s civilian facade, Asim Munir’s deep-state consolidation of power New Delhi, Oct 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) In July this year, rumours were rife that Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was planning a coup to overthrow the government. However, Munir refrained from doing so, as he was aware that had he done so, there would have been international pressure on him to restore democracy. When General Pervez Musharraf ousted Nawaz Sharif and installed himself as the President of Pakistan, there was immense pressure on him to restore democracy.
