  There is a stir in Pakistani politics once again. There is talk in the country's army and political circles that Field Marshal Asim Munir is preparing to play a big game. Speculations are rife that Field Marshal Asim Munir can remove President Asif Ali Zardari and take over the reins of power, but is Pakistan on the verge of another military coup? Many such incidents have taken place in the last few weeks, which have fueled these rumors. The tension and political rhetoric in the country's atmosphere have intensified these discussions. What is the truth of this political storm, is India's neighbor country going to step into a new era of power once again. Donald Trump meets Munir, leaving Shahbaz The Pakistani government took a surprising decision in May. General Asim Munir was given the rank of Field Marshal. This is the second time in the history of Pakistan, when a military officer has been given this rank. Earlier, General Ayub Khan had made himself a Field Marshal in 1959. At that time, the state of Pakistan was in the hands of the army. Questions were raised about Munir's promotion. This announcement came after India's 'Operation Sindoor'. In June, General Munir visited the US and met President Donald Trump there. The meeting was unique in itself as it was the first time a Pakistani official was invited to the White House. The meeting created a stir in political circles. Many experts believe that this meeting is evidence of Munir's growing power and political will. After this, speculation intensified that Munir could overthrow the regime. Did Munir leave China and side with the US? Pakistani journalist Ejaz Saeed said, "Efforts to remove President Zardari are intensifying. Many people want Zardari to resign himself. That is why political manipulation has started." Such news is also going viral on social media platform X. A user wrote, "Sources say that Munir is planning a 'silent coup' against Zardari. Zardari supports China on Taiwan, while Munir has a secret deal with the US. His aim is to end CPEC, no matter what the cost." This turmoil in Pakistani politics is nothing new. The country's past is full of coups and political upheavals but in the current situation, General Munir's rise, his visit to the US and Bilawal's statements have further heated the political atmosphere.
