When a PM Abducted an Army Chief | Pakistan’s Civil Military Imbalance | Syed Muzammil Official

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, dismissed two military chiefs in 1972. This move was part of his efforts to assert civilian control over the military and to sideline the army from politics.
Bhutto's actions were motivated by his desire to consolidate his power and to prevent the military from interfering in his governance.
In this video we have discussed how Bhutto used his power and time to make himself strongest rathern than democratizing the process in country.
