🚨 NEW CONSTITUTIONAL COURT

🚨 PROVINCIAL POWER STRIP
• Education, health, population welfare re-centralized under Islamabad.
• Federal govt now controls curriculum, textbooks, teacher hiring. Munir’s ISI already vets syllabi for “anti-state” content. Now it’s legal. Provinces reduced to municipalities.

🚨 FOREIGN POLICY MONOPOLY
• New clause: “National security policy” = binding on civilian govt.
• Drafted by NSC (chaired by COAS).
• PM can’t sign treaties without NSC nod.
Remember #Trump calling Munir “my favorite Field Marshal”? That call just became official policy.

🚨THE BIG PICTURE
Pakistan’s journey:
2018 → Hybrid regime
2022 → COAS picks PM
2025 → COAS is the state Imran Khan in jail. Nawaz abroad. Shehbaz a figurehead.
Munir now has:
✅5-year ironclad term
✅Veto on foreign policy
✅Control over courts
✅Provinces neutered
