Shehbaz in London to ‘consult Nawaz’

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in London on Wednesday, apparently to consult his elder brother Nawaz Sharif on the appointment of the new army chief later this month, in what is his third visit to the United Kingdom since taking over as premier in April this year.
Almost all members of the PM’s delegation have returned from Sharm El-Sheikh, but Mr Sharif departed for London after attending the UN climate change conference.
Education Minister Rana Tanvir Hussain confirmed in a private TV talk show that the PM will discuss important issues with Nawaz Sharif, including the appointment of the new army chief.
Also read: Who will be the next army chief?
Mr Sharif will also take up the issue of the long march by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), which is likely to kick off today (Thursday) following a brief suspension of the rally in light of a gun attack on party chief Imran Khan in Wazirabad last week.
It has been reported that incumbent COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure is set to end on November 29. The military spokesperson has already announced that Gen Bajwa will not seek an extension to his tenure.
On the other hand, PTI chief Imran Khan lamented that the PM was discussing the appointment of the next army chief with his elder brother, which was a violation of the Official Secrets Act and a breach of his oath.
Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb termed Prime Minister Sharif’s visit to Egypt ‘very successful’. The minister said that for the first time, there was a global consensus on providing financial resources to compensate for the climate-induced losses suffered by developing countries.
She also criticised protests by the PTI across the country and said that ever since Imran Khan entered politics, he had been engaged in “destruction, creation of chaos and distraction”.

Don't think he is there to specifically consult on the next COAS.

Baoo jee ko paigham pauhaunchanay gaya hai, but reportedly from what I have gathered, and this has since been corroborated by mainstream media, baoo jee nhn manay!

Imagine this. Mulk kay halat ka faisla aik mafroor banda, us ka bhai, beti, bete, aur bhanja kar rahay hain, while sitting in London since the past 3 years.

Hafeez Sheikh would be really sad right now.

Hakoomat choro, interim setup lao until August, so you get to regain some political capital, Asim Munir does not become COAS, and the army gets to regain some capital and become non-controversial as well. The new COAS does not get thrown into the fire with a polarized environment, he has a clean slate.

Baoo jee rejected this as per rumors and media.

N league is also VERY wary that a new COAS might potentially be against them, and wrap up the system and force elections. So they want their own man at all costs who they are sure won't do this.

They will likely want to make this harami the next COAS. By the way, he is on the 7th number when it comes to seniority list. The army will be officially turned on Noon Army after this.
