Pakistan military

The Pakistan military is the armed forces of Pakistan, responsible for the country's defense and security. It has historically wielded significant influence in Pakistani politics. Recent news highlights several controversial actions. The military conducted air strikes in Afghanistan, reportedly targeting armed groups, but resulting in civilian casualties according to the Afghan government. Within Pakistan, security forces carried out raids in Balochistan, killing alleged armed fighters and linking them to India, a claim made without presented evidence. Furthermore, the military is accused of stifling dissent, exemplified by restrictions on jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, preventing him from communicating with the outside world. These actions raise concerns about human rights, regional stability, and the military's role in Pakistani society.
