Pakistan's military is entering one of its most powerful eras, and that too without directly seizing power, with army chief Asim Munir taking charge as the country's first Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) on Thursday. The post, created through the contentious 27th Amendment to the Pakistani Constitution, places Syed Asim Munir at the helm of all three services - the army, air force and navy - for a fixed five-year term.
