Islamabad: Pakistan is facing growing political instability, with reports emerging that Army Chief General Asim Munir is allegedly attempting to overthrow President Asif Ali Zardari and assume the presidency himself. The developments have raised concerns both within the country and internationally.
Sources indicate that Munir is making multiple efforts to displace the current president and may soon declare himself as the new head of state. The situation gained further attention following Munir’s recent meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump, after which significant political shifts have been observed in Pakistan.
Defence and strategic experts have expressed concern over the possible implications for India, should Munir take over the presidency. Intelligence reports have previously suggested his alleged links to extremist groups. Additionally, Munir is being unofficially linked to the recent Pahalgam terror attack in India, which resulted in 26 fatalities and sparked global outrage.
