The Pakistani people declared the country's army chief, General Asim Munir, a beloved strongman during the India-Pakistan Conflict.
General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief and now Field Marshal, has seen a surge in popularity following the country's most serious conflict with India in decades. Once criticized for political interference and suppressing opposition, Munir is now hailed as a national hero.
The government promoted him in recognition of his "strategic brilliance" after Pakistan claimed a decisive military response to Indian air strikes. Public support soared, with rallies nationwide and Gallup Pakistan reporting 93% of respondents had a more favorable view of the military.
Even jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Munir's top domestic critic, praised the armed forces' performance. Analysts say the recent clash has restored the military’s image and cemented Munir’s dominance.
A devout Muslim and former intelligence chief, Munir emphasized ideological differences with Hindu-majority India, framing the conflict in religious terms. He dubbed Pakistan's counter-strike "Bunyan Marsoos" - Iron Wall, referencing a Koranic verse.
Munir remains in office until 2027, and experts believe the conflict has solidified his grip on power in a country where the military has long held sway.
