In a major power shift in Pakistan, ISI chief Lt Gen Mohammed Asim Malik has been appointed National Security Advisor, filling a post left vacant since 2022. The move signals a deeper consolidation of power by the military, sidelining Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has been absent from public appearances. This development comes in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in India, which killed 26 civilians and has escalated India-Pakistan tensions. With the military and ISI now central to Pakistan’s strategic direction, analysts suggest this marks a de facto partial coup, shifting control of national policy to the security establishment.
