ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff has yet to respond to the federal government’s offer; whether to rise to the rank of the rare Field Marshal or to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.

Credible sources close told Online that the mentioned posts have been offered to the army chief on behalf of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is reportedly set to leave for the United States this month.

On the prime minister’s instruction, sources say, Federal Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs Senator Ishaq Dar and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif tabled the options in a meeting with General Sharif.

The two stalwarts of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N, however, told the army chief that, provided he decides to go with one of the two options, no compromise would be made on the balance of power – sources say.

According to sources, before going to US this month, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would decide about the future of Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif.

Sources say General Sharif has not responded yet to the government’s offer. They, however, told Online that the prime minister wants to finalise the case pertaining to the incumbent army chief before departing for US.

Provided he doesn’t take extension which he said he won’t, General Sharif will retire from service on November 29 after completing his three-year tenure as the 15th army chief of Pakistan Army.

The appointment of the army chief is in principle for three years subject to extensions granted by the president on recommendation from the prime minister.

It is very much likely that Prime Minister Nawaz might make an important announcement regarding the post of Chief of Army Staff till coming Thursday, sources say.

The incumbent army chief is also popular with the authorities in China, as the security of the $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) rests with the armed forces of Pakistan. Beijing wants General Sharif to continue his office till the completion of the project

Make him Chairman of CPEC

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Better idea , He gets extension for 4 years , and we hold new election , and put NAWAZ in jail for corruption

 

[The Diplomat]

What different will it make... he already has the highest post available.

It's a symbol of pride, probably one of the best COAS we ever had. He deserves FM.
Shukria Raheel Sharif, Pakistan Army Zindabad! Pakistan Paindabad!

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

My gut feeling is that General Sharif will refuse these offers. After the Cyprus Campaign, the Turkish Military Chief was offered the promotion to Marshal, but he refused. He was offered an extension, he refused. The government wanted him to take a small increment in his salary at the least, he refused that too. True Men in Uniform carry a sense of pride with themselves..

I think, Pakistan needs his services, he has done a commendable job annihilating talib scums and RAW's rats.

He should step down on time accepting any offer will ruin his entire legacy

Under current political and regional situation we need him to stay and complete good work he has started. If he leaves and we get gen. Like muharaf or kayani than everything will be ruined. There is no need of so much moral principal or dialogs . Our country is at war in many fronts and as it is progressing we shall need consistency and prosper.
