According to Jawad Falak, a defense analyst based in Karachi, Lt Gen Munir’s appointment is set to pace up the anti-terrorism operations within the urban areas of Pakistan. He added that an operation against the corrupt mafia in Pakistan especially Sindh, Punjab, and Baluchistan will also speedup which might result is exacerbated pressure on some political parties.

Zeeshan Munir, a security analyst based in Islamabad, while talking to GVS stated that Pakistan is facing severe threats from spy agencies of ‘enemy states’ that are bent upon destabilizing Pakistan internally.

Such threats require a proactive approach by Pakistan’s premier spy agency and Lt Gen Munir is appointed as DG ISI to ensure that.

No It doesn't , I know Hafiz Quran who do all sort of disgusting stuff, and been a Syed means nothing ( to me ) at least , as i follow the Prophet's words very literally " No one is superior to another " .

Seriously, how does being a 'hafiz quran' reflect on person's character? Having learn't the sounds of something by heart without even understanding what the sounds relay amounts to parroting. Exactly how that makes character is something you can enlighten please?
