Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has been promoted to Field Marshal by the Pakistani government, days after tensions with India escalated. Officially praised for his strategic leadership, the promotion comes despite evidence of heavy damage inflicted by India on Pakistani military assets. Analysts view the move as propaganda to mask military losses and assert the army’s dominance over Pakistan’s fragile civilian government. Munir’s rise may signal increased anti-India rhetoric, potential cross-border tensions, and growing fears of martial law.
