Asim Munir gets total power: Pak prez approves appointment as CDF – what it means

President Zardari appointed Army Chief Asim Munir as Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Forces for five years, following the 27th Constitutional Amendment. This new role unifies command across the armed forces, replacing the abolished CJCSC. Munir now holds a dual position as COAS and CDF, a significant shift in military hierarchy.
