#AsimMunir promoted himself to Field Marshal.. But, Why?

To mask the defeat! To shield from a seemingly imminent mutiny & court martial!! Know the key reasons..

 

#AsimMunirpromoted himself to Field Marshal …But, why?

#AsimMunir, Pakistan’s General of Army Staff has now awarded himself the topmost position. He will henceforth be called Field Marshall Asim Munir. In a country, where its not unusual for military generals to award themselves glittering badges after every defeat, this is way too far, even by its own standards. Coming on the heels of the shameful defeat at the hands of the Indian forces’ might, this promotion is not just a joke, but a brazen effort to mask the defeat, a shield from a possible mutiny and also a gateway to another possible military dictatorship.

 

Dr. Namrata Mishra Tiwari, editor, Indiainput, dissects the move, enlisting the key reasons behind the blatant act of self glorification.. Read on..

General Asim Munir got himself promoted to Field Marshal!

#AsimMunirthe Pakistan General of Army Staff promoted himself to the rank of Field Marshal on Tuesday 20th may 2025. He, thus, becomes the only man alive in the subcontinent to be wearing five stars – which he will don for the rest of his life. The Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet announcement came as a shock to many, especially in the backdrop of the shameful defeat during #OperationSindoor by India.

Many Political Scientists term this as the rarest move by any country to honor its defeat. They view it as an unhealthy move for the democratic functioning of Pakistan.

 

Post##pahalgamterrorattack, an angry to the core India struck at Pakistan’s minimum nine Air bases. The damage was downplayed by Pakistan officially, but left Munir politically exposed. Asim Munir’s promotion is one of a kind in the seven decades of Pakistan’s troubled existence. The military dictator Ayub Khan was the last to hold the title in 1959. #AsimMunir is, many political scientists believe, is on the way to become another dictator.

#AsimMunir got a Rank to mask the defeat..?

 

It is well known in military paradigm that, the Field Marshal rank is usually the topmost possible and a very sacrosanct at that for any army. Moreover, it is generally conferred after a tall military victory. Most importantly, the fact remains, that it can never be conferred after a huge defeat. Tilak Devasher, a seasoned Pakistan watcher, was recently quoted by the Economic Times as remarking, ‘This may be the first time it has been awarded after a defeat -it-seems intended to mask the defeat.”

A field marshal, or the equivalent in the Navy and Airforce, is a purely ceremonial appointment; an elevation sans additional authority. An extra star or the fifth star comes with a different appointment stick, which the Field Marshal only needs to wave in order to acknowledge a salute.

Timing of the promotion

Asim Munir tenure was to end in November 2025, and all he wanted was an extension.

So firstly,  he sent terrorists on 22 April to carry out the Pahalgam terror attack at Baisaran meadow killing  innocent tourists  making derogatory marks against Hindus. forcing them to recite verses of Kalma, specifically  targeting religion.

Next, Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir openely made provocative comments on Hindus and propagated two nation theory.

“The two-nation theory was based on the fundamental belief that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations, not one. Muslims are distinct from Hindus in all aspects of life – religion, customs, traditions, thinking and aspirations,” Munir said addressing Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) parade in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on 26 April..

“Our forefathers made immense sacrifices for the creation of Pakistan. We know how to defend it,” he added.

Distancing him self from the terror attack  saying it had “no involvement” in the massacre , describing it as a home grown rebellion against  “Hindutva regime”. Also called Kashmir as Pakistan’s “jugular vein”.

Democracy on the brink

 

“The Guardians of Honour ” a group in Pakistan circulated a letter accusing Asim Munir of  corruption and military incompetence.

“In recognition of his brilliant military leadership, courage, and bravery, ensuring Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and courageous defence against the enemy, the cabinet approved the prime minister’s proposal to promote General Syed Asim Munir to the rank of field marshal.”Pakistan’s ruling coalition passed the bill with  a little debate.

Post Operation Sindoor, there is an  internal dissent rising within the Army. A quiet but growing discontent within senior ranks.

India targeted with precision only terror based infrastructure, so it remains unclear as to what Asim Munir exactly defended? A mystery where Munir demonstrated military , leadership, courage and bravery. Operation Sindoor was all about aerial strike, there was no ground incursion planned , launched or announced from India, so there is no question of territorial integrity  threat whatsoever.

 Will the promotion trigger another Military coup?

Its a blatant mockery of democratic norms, instead of taking accountability of its failures, the civilian leadership  chose to reward with unchecked power. Giving rise to speculations among experts about a rising tilt toward military dominance in Pakistan.

No court in Pakistan can  prosecute a Field Marshal- he is legally untouchable!

This development has sent shockwaves across Pakistan, with critics calling it a “Civilian backed coup?”

Many observers believe that Munir engineered his own promotion, with PM Sharif acting as little more than a rubber stamp. Munir is an ambitious hardliner, might just reach out to seek  control of  the nuclear establishments.

As the head of the ISI was made the security advisor. Munir has full  control of  the ISI activities  all around the world .Promoting anti India ,anti religion ,Peace is for short duration. Ceasefire with India  was sought around the world  for the same.

The two year extension to his term is already a problem, many three star generals , who serve four year terms , will now retire without a chance of promotion. To grab power  in Pakistan how long can Asim Munir fool around with his exemplary role. Will he suspend the Pakistani constitution  and place the rest of Sharif family under house arrest just like Musharaff did ?

Anticipating a lot of changes in future as Operation Sindoor continues….
