Pakistan News | Asim Munir Becomes Pakistan's Second Field Marshal: Echoes Of Dictator Ayub Khan

In today's episode of India Global, Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir has been promoted to the topmost military rank of Field Marshal - an honour given only in the rarest of occasions and on achieving a stellar operations record throughout a career in the armed forces. In a surprising, strangely-amusing decision, Pakistan's Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has 'approved' a proposal to promote the army chief. The announcement comes days after a series of military escalations against India, which began with the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks with Defence Expert Lt Gen Anil Kumar Bhatt (Retd) and Former Ambassador Mahesh Sachdev to discuss this and more.
