‘Introspect your constitutional coup’: India targets Pakistan over lifetime immunity to Asim Munir

'Introspect your constitutional coup': India targets Pakistan over lifetime immunity to Asim Munir

NEW DELHI: India advised Pakistan to “introspect” on some of its recent moves, including the 27th Amendment that gave “life-time immunity to its chief of defence forces” Asim Munir.”It could start by asking itself how it has let its armed forces engineer a constitutional coup through the 27th amendment and giving life-time immunity to its Chief of Defence Forces,” said India’s permanent representative to the UN, ambassador Parvathaneni Harish on Tuesday.Further, he said that Pakistan is “well advised to introspect about the rule of law.”Pakistan’s Parliament passed the 27th Constitutional Amendment in November last year under its Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government, granting lifelong legal immunity to field marshal Asim Munir. The amendment provides protection from prosecution for actions taken during his tenure, drawing sharp criticism from opposition parties and civil society groups over concerns of accountability and constitutional overreach.Harish strongly criticised Pakistan for raising the Kashmir issue again at the UN and said that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir “has been, is, and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India”.Speaking on the Indus Waters Treaty, Harish said that Pakistan has “violated the spirit of the Treaty by inflicting three wars and thousands of terror attacks on India”.“Throughout these six and a half decades, Pakistan has violated the spirit of the Treaty by inflicting three wars and thousands of terror attacks on India. Thousands of Indian lives have been lost in Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks,” he said.In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, he said India was “compelled to finally announce that the Treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan, a global epicentre of terror, credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border and all other forms of terrorism.”
