Pakistan News: Once again news of political upheaval is coming from Pakistan. Local media is claiming that there may be a coup in the country soon, and President Asif Ali Zardari may be removed from his post. This news has come at a time when 47 years ago on July 5, General Zia-ul-Haq overthrew the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan. With the anniversary of this historic event, a new fear of coup has resurfaced in Pakistan.

Asim Munir: The new face of coup?

According to Pakistani media, preparations have begun to remove President Zardari under the leadership of Army Chief and recently promoted to the rank of Field Marshal General Asim Munir. Senior journalist Syed is quoted as claiming that Munir, who is already known for his strong hold in the army and intelligence agencies, is now trying to take the reins of power completely in his hands. The question arises whether Asim Munir is planning to take over the presidency himself? Or is it part of political manipulation, in which the Sharif family may also be involved?

Coups are not new in Pakistan's military history. The army seized power in 1958, 1977, and 1999. In such a situation, Asim Munir's ambition and recent controversial moves, such as provocative rhetoric against India after the Pahalgam attack, raise questions about his intentions.

Bilawal Bhutto's statement created a storm

Meanwhile, a statement by Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has further increased the political temperature. In an interview to Al Jazeera, Bilawal said that if India provides concrete evidence about the whereabouts of terrorists like Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed, then Pakistan is ready to arrest them. He also claimed that Masood Azhar may be in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan. This statement created an uproar in Pakistan, and Hafiz Saeed's son had to give clarification.

Bilawal's statement is being seen as an indirect attack against Asim Munir, as Munir has been accused of promoting terrorist activities against India. Bilawal's comment has become a topic of discussion not only in political circles but also among the general public. Some people are seeing it as an attempt to save power by the Zardari family, while others are considering it a sign of changing equations in Pakistan's internal politics.

Shahbaz Sharif and political alliance

The role of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and his party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is also considered important in this crisis. Some reports have claimed that Shahbaz Sharif's government is working under pressure from the army, and approving the promotion of Asim Munir to the post of Field Marshal was the result of this. The question also arises whether the Sharif family is involved in the conspiracy of this coup, or are they only taking steps according to the circumstances?

The future of Pakistan is in limbo

The possibility of a coup in Pakistan has not only shaken internal politics, but has also raised questions about regional stability. Tensions with India, the weakened position of the Pakistani army after Operation Sindoor, and increasing violence in Balochistan have brought the country to the brink of instability.

Will the month of July give Pakistan a new dictator, or will a new story of protests and bloodshed be written on the streets? Bilawal Bhutto and the PPP have started raising their voice against this coup, but will they be able to stand up to the might of the army? Many believe that to overcome this crisis, Pakistani leaders now hope for positive diplomacy from neighboring countries like India.
