巴基斯坦国防部长否认军事支配地位,尽管宪法改革赋予陆军总司令终身豁免和扩大权力。 Pakistan's defense minister denies military dominance despite constitutional changes granting army chief lifetime immunity and expanded powers.

2026年2月, 巴基斯坦国防部长哈瓦贾·阿西夫(Khawaja Asif)否认陆军首席战地元帅阿西姆·穆尼尔(Asim Munir)是事实上的统治者, In February 2026, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif denied that Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is a de facto ruler, calling the current system a "hybrid government" where the military supports, rather than controls, the civilian government. 尽管第27次《宪法修正案》授予穆尼尔终身豁免、对军事和核指挥的控制以及一个新的五星级,但阿西夫坚持认为民主机构保持不变。 Despite the 27th Constitutional Amendment granting Munir lifetime immunity, control over the military and nuclear command, and a new five-star rank, Asif maintained that democratic institutions remain intact. 批评者认为,军事部门的变化集中了前所未有的权力,特别是通过特别投资促进理事会和经改组的司法机构,削弱了制衡。 Critics argue the changes have concentrated unprecedented power in the military, especially through the Special Investment Facilitation Council and a restructured judiciary, weakening checks and balances. 虽然文职领导人仍在任职,但人们认为,真正的权威与穆尼尔居住在拉瓦尔品第。 While civilian leaders remain in office, real authority is seen to reside with Munir in Rawalpindi.
