Nomination of DG ISI is my authority: PM Imran Khan says in cabinet meeting today

[RIP Pak LAW]

He has punched above his weight. Fallout will be there soon unless establishment and Imran Khan doesn't feel it as serious which media is trying to project.

 

[Jungibaaz]

It's his call absolutely. Those concerned should have never put out the bulletin on the appointment of the new DGISI without conferring with the PM's office and getting his green light.

I also think that Gen Bajwa needs to move on. He should retire early and give the other officers a chance. The country is 70+ years old yet we still make these appointments as if we are circa 1948 with no other Pakistani officers to take up the helm of the army. These term extensions are nonsense and this practice should be discarded altogether.

No one officer is indispensable.

The chances of extension are gone now, the COAS’ affairs are too politicised now, and this latest spat with IK means that another extension (which might have been planned) is very unlikely now, it’ll cause too much controversy.

 

[Genghis khan1]

I always said that IK would have to face down the army to assert control when the time would come. He is following Erdogans playbook and should eliminate the corruption within the army.

Army is not above the state. All institutions are answerable to the law. 99% of military is honest but many are sellouts and national traitors.

First fix the law system. Establishment is the backbone of the country. Establishment doesn’t mean just Army. But in case of Pakistan unfortunately Army alone is acting as establishment.

 

[PakSarZameen47]

that's something i believe he lacks in, he is impulsive and his ego certainly does not helps in sorting out the situation

They need to work together and be on same page for things to progress otherwise we'll be stuck like this for the foreseeable future.

 

[Prince Kassad]

IK Was good pm, you cannot mess with army > thats the highest authority. bets for next pm?

 

[Great Janjua]

Now expect someone to make a movie about the whole ideal. Talk about blowing things out of proportion.

 

[m52k85]

That's a contradiction... If 99% are "honest" how does it make the 1% "many" traitors???

Empirical Explanation:
1% of 100 is 1. 1 is not many.
1% of a million is 10,000. 10,000 is many.

Linguistic Explanation:
He said 'many' not 'most'.

 

[Aesterix]

Why does he think this is a good idea? Surely it makes sense for military to take charge of security matters?

Because he is a "Bonga"
بہت بونگیاں مارتا ہے ۔

 

[Jungibaaz]

Every puppet of theirs eventually falls out with them. Nawaz was their puppet following the 1990 election, he fell out with them and was removed, even Junejo, as much of a puppet as he was eventually fell out with them. I remarked elsewhere some time ago that IK was the new Junejo.

They need to work together and be on same page for things to progress otherwise we'll be stuck like this for the foreseeable future.

They don't need to work together but work under the govt directives coz they get hired and paid for it . I don't get it why do fanboys come up with such ridiculous ideals of equality between the govt and it's employees .

 

[Riz]

Chief needs to move on but not DG? Just thinks as Pakistani not as PTI Supporter. Institutions are important not Individuals why PM is stuck with Current DG? Answer it first!!

Problem is not PM stuck with the current DG , problem is why the fuk they nominated and announced the name of DGISI without informing PM ??kia yeh chutiay sari zindgi badmashi karty rahin gay ? Inko kab akal ay gi ?

@M. Sarmad
I just tolds you earlier there is no chance of faiz to become COAS even if he gets a core, he is technically sidelined by the institution. Chief is only following Institution lines atm the will of the majority. He is just lame duck. The reasons are obvious, No needs to elaborate.

No, my friend that's not what you said. You claimed that Faiz Hameed had no chances of becoming the chief as he had not been given a corps to lead (a prerequisite to becoming the COAS). You were told that it was too early for PMLN to celebrate as another reshuffle of Leutinent Generals was around the corner and there was a strong possibility that Faiz Hameed would be given a corps to lead making him fully eligible for the post of COAS at the time of retirement of Gen Bajwa in Nov 2022.

And that's exactly what has happened.

As for your new claim that Army's top brass is pro-PMLN with the exception of Faiz Hameed and the current chief, well, I don't think you actually believe in that yourself even. You are just saying what needs to said, baseless propaganda in other words

So are you saying there hasn't been any fallout then?

What I am implying is this whole fiasco is being turned into some next-level movie plot which it does not have to be. All this hype yet no dice.
