Will the creation of more provinces solve Pakistan’s problems? Field Marshal Asim Munir and Mohsin Naqvi, apparently think so. But, as Tilak Devasher asks, “How is creating more provinces anyway connected to what is happening in Pakistan?” With the TTP striking security installations and Baloch insurgents targeting railway lines and power plants, Devasher questions whether redrawing Pakistan’s political map is a distraction from its deepening security crisis. “Is that a huge distraction operation, this creating of multiple provinces to break up the opposition, break up the provincial bedrock of Pakistan?” His larger question is even more damning: “Is Pakistan then ungovernable or are its leaders incapable of governing Pakistan?” Watch the full conversation on Chakra News: youtu.be/3U9y3qSnr04 #Pakistan #AsimMunir #PakistanPolitics #Geopolitics #ChakraNewz #khyberPakhtunkhwa @SandeepUnnithan @awasthi_bob @tilakdevasher1 @i_DeepakBhadana

What makes Field Marshal Asim Munir different from Pakistan’s previous dictators? “Munir studied the mistakes of all four and systematically avoided them,” says Tilka Devasher, adding, “He has achieved unparalleled power in Pakistan constitutionally.” Unlike Ayub, Zia and Musharraf, he did not need to suspend the Constitution. Instead, Devasher argues, “He has used democracy to demolish democracy.” And unlike Ayub, Munir did not give up the Army Chief’s post after becoming Field Marshal. So what lies in store for Pakistan’s hybrid system and its Field Marshal?

The creation of Pakistan was the final act of the Great Game. India was partitioned in 1947, but the roots of this partition can be traced to 1857 says, Author & Fmr Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat Tilak Devasher. “The British realised that if Hindus and Muslims got together, they are going to show the British the door,” he says. The British then instituted a deliberate political separation from projecting religious differences into politics to separate electorates and the creation of the Muslim League in 1906.

What has changed most in Pakistan since 1958? According to Author & Fmr Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat Tilak Devasher, "There was a time when Pakistan believed it could compete with India, even surpass it." Today, he sees a very different mood: “doom and gloom.” But is Pakistan’s crisis only economic? Devasher points to two deeper trends: the return of ruler-centric politics over the rule of law and a growing refusal to accept dissent. So, what happens when hope gives way to gloom, while political polarisation keeps deepening?
