4500 soldiers, 250 officers resign from Pakistani Army
Even if the rumors of Asim Munir fleeing Pakistan are nothing more than speculation, they highlight the underlying tension and instability shaking the nation. Recent reports claiming that 4,500 soldiers and 250 officers have resigned from the Pakistan Army have sparked widespread concern, raising questions about the country’s military stability and its broader political landscape.
The resignations are attributed to growing fears among military personnel of a potential war with India, triggered by the Pahalgam attack, which India blames on Pakistan-based militant groups. Media reports suggest that soldiers and officers, particularly those in infantry, artillery, and border units, are resigning due to concerns about an imminent Indian retaliatory strike. Families, worried about the safety of their loved ones, are reportedly urging personnel to leave their posts, exacerbating the crisis. Some sources claim that unstable command structures and mental fatigue among troops, compounded by Pakistan’s economic and political instability, are further driving this exodus. Particularly the 11th Corps, responsible for securing the India-Pakistan border, is said to be heavily affected, with resignations creating manpower shortages in critical units.
