Pakistan Power Shift: Special Report On Army Chief Munir's New Powers & Weakened Supreme Court.

Pakistan's 27th Amendment: Army Chief Munir Gets Absolute Power, Lifelong Immunity.

This special report covers Pakistan's 27th Constitutional Amendment, signed by President Asif Ali Zardari, which grants unprecedented powers and lifelong immunity to Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. The amendment establishes Munir as the Chief of Defence Forces, creates a new Federal Constitutional Court above the Supreme Court, and has been described by critics as a slide into military dictatorship. Analyst Dr. Tara Kartha states, 'This amendment, Gaurav, is extremely shrewd. He's given a little bit of toffees to the political leadership. He's clipped the wings of the judiciary so that they can't question it'.
