Waqas Ahmed on Pakistan’s Constitutional Coup and the Rise of Asim Munir

In this Afghan Eye Podcast episode, host Sangar Paykhar speaks with Pakistani investigative journalist Waqas Ahmed about the 27th Constitutional Amendment, a move that could fundamentally reshape Pakistan’s political future.

The discussion explores how this amendment, introduced on 8 November 2025, effectively elevates Field Marshal Asim Munir to an all-powerful, constitutionally protected position as Chief of Defence Forces, beyond civilian oversight. Critics say this change dismantles the 1973 Constitution’s democratic balance and cements a permanent military state.

Waqas Ahmed shares exclusive insights on:
 🇵🇰 The military’s role in removing Imran Khan
 ⚖️ How the new amendment destroys civilian supremacy
 💣 Why Pakistan’s nuclear control structure is being re-engineered
 💵 The geopolitical motives behind refugee expulsions and renewed U.S. alignment
 🤝 What this means for Afghanistan, India, and the wider region

This is a deep dive into Pakistan’s drift toward authoritarianism, its regional ambitions, and the dangers of unchecked military power, explained by one of Pakistan’s most outspoken journalists.
