Defence min says a 'hybrid model' of army, govt runs Pak
Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif defended the nation's 'hybrid model' of governance, where military and civilian leaders share power, despite its poor democratic record. Confronted by Mehdi Hasan about the military's true authority, Asif rejected dominance claims. He labeled the US system a "deep state" and blamed past military rulers for Pakistan's perception.
