- First strikes *deep inside Afghanistan*. No COAS ever conducted strikes inside another country before. Killed hundreds of terrorists in weeks.
- Capture of Ehsan Ullah Ehsan, the *biggest leader of TTP that has been caught so far*.
- Formation of *military courts after they expired*. Faced opposition from political parties, NGOs, human rights groups and international govts but achieved the goal.
- *Hanging* of 26 hardcore terrorists and *death sentences* of over 100. That is more than what Gen(R) Raheel Sharif could achieve in 3 years.
- Surrender of over *600 rebels* in Balochistan. Biggest number yet.
- Rangers *operation inside Punjab*, something no previous COAS could achieve.
- *Largest Intelligence Based Operations (IBOs) ever* in the history of Pakistan in every city and town of all four provinces, FATA and AJK/GB.
- Op Rudd ul Fasaad is the *biggest counter terrorism operation* conducted in Pakistan, much bigger than Op Zarb e Azb. But it is done quietly, without fuss. Aim is *results not popularity*.
- Improved *relations with Saudi Arabia and UAE* which were very negative. Also conducted highly successful diplomacy in China, Qatar and UK.
- Despite problems, COAS is working very hard to improve *relations with Afghanistan and Iran*. Has spoken to President Ashraf Ghani three times. Abdullah Abdullah's recent positive statement after Chaman firing is an indication. He will visit Iran soon as well to build trust.
- *Stabilized LOC* which was very hot last year.
- *Census* throughout the country when the Army is fighting a war.
- *Successfully completed an inquiry for the first time ever* in Pakistan's history (Dawn Leaks). Pushed for *sacking of two senior ministers*. Some people disagree about the issue, but they will know the reality as time passes. COAS can take immense pressure from everywhere, yet *always does what is best for Pakistan even if it causes his reputation to suffer*. That is real leadership.
- Trying extremely hard to improve *salaries of Army jawans and young officers*. This work was never done in the last 6 years.
- Has ordered that the *best benefits will be given to Majors and Colonels* in the Army, not Brigadiers and Generals.
- Has started a lot of work improving *medical facilities for Jawans and young officers*, a much needed work. Has *stopped army General officer doctors from doing private practice* so that they can devote time to jawans and their families.
- Pushing the govt very hard on *Madrassah reforms, deweaponization* and forming a counter terrorism national narrative.
- *Fencing of Afghanistan border*. Massive task which no COAS or govt started before.
- Participation of *3 best allies of Pakistan in 23 March parade - China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey*. This has never happened before. Chinese troops never participated in a foreign parade before.
- Improving *relations with US, UK and Russia* at the same time. US has cooperated with Pakistan more in the last 5 months.
- Approved the *death sentence to Indian spy Kalbhoshan Yadav*.
- Actively working for Pakistan in *Reko Diq, Kalbhoshan Yadav and Indus basin cases*.
This soldier is a quiet soldier, who does not want fame and popularity. This soldier is doing all that he can for Pakistan while respecting and helping democracy.
This soldier was targeted by social media campaign before he became COAS, and is now targeted again. He does not respond. He stays close to jawans and officers. He does his work and has achieved more than what was achieved in 3 years.
He has asked no one to create his media or social media image. He takes pressure quietly, does not respond but just does what is good for Pakistan even if it hurts his image. He has achieved this much in just 5 months, without creating noise.
He is *General Qamar Javed Bajwa*, an honest and a decent soldier who believes in results, not popularity. He does not want your praise or hero status. Pray for Pakistan, Pakistan Army and him.
