Earlier in May, the Pakistani federal cabinet approved the promotion of Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir to Field Marshal despite military and strategic failures during the conflict with India. The Pakistan government cited his leadership during Operation Bunyanum Marsoos and the confrontation with India, labelled Marka-i-Haq, as grounds for the honour, Dawn reported.

Despite the military setbacks, Pakistan’s government projected the outcome as a “historic victory,” praising General Munir’s leadership during the conflict. General Asim Munir became only the second army officer in Pakistan’s history to be elevated to Field Marshal.

Ayub Khan, Pakistan’s president from 1958 to 1969, holds the distinction of being the country’s first Field Marshal. Notably, his promotion to this highest military rank was self-appointed, following his coup and assumption of the presidency in 1958. (ANI)
