Lt.Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa the new COAS - Lt.Gen Zubair Hayat new CJCSC.

[Lavrentiy]

Of course, who is saying that the corps cmndrs should have this luxury? They shouldn't take over. But PM should look for the qualifications rather than selecting someone who will likely prove his own right hand...

Our democracy is not mature enough. We have no one in the cabinet who can raise voice on trillions of rupees of loans, that too at high interest rates. We have no one in the cabinet who can criticize the decision of government's award of work in Gwadar to a Qatari company without receiving the required number of proposals.

When courts start showing their teeth, our democrazy attack the courts to break their jaws. Which democracy are you talking about my friend?

Have you ever been to US or UK? I hope you have visited these countries. Have you ever noticed how the institutions function?

I recently moved overseas (UK) for my PhD. So I know how institutions work.

Have we bothered to look at our neighbour India? It had the identical system of governance left by the British. Over 70 years, the system has vastly improved though still not at par with the West. Did they need Corps Commanders?

If India's political system can improve, then so can ours without the military. India is a comparable example. The West is still too far out.

Ghakhar Mandi is a town in the Gujranwala. His village.

I am also Bajwa by caste. I think you are telling about Gen Bajwa. I am asking about Gen Zubair Hayat.

 

[Samlee]

isn't it ironic you are calling weakness as super fit?
it's indian culture to call weak body slim,smart and super fit and call fat person khate peete gharane se ha.

Pakistani generals are like wrestlers.

India Is The Land Of Small ****** There Definition of Strength is A Pretty Substandard One

 

[Winchester]

The general is niether deaf nor blind.
Once he becomes the Army chief, he will know that he will have to finish up the job his predecessor started...finishing the job means going into Punjab and breaking the final nexus btw politics and terror.
On the domestic front too, with CPEC it would be difficult for any Army chief to ignore corrupt practices that may harm the future of the project plus the military is itself involved with its own very huge military industrial complex. The general can't just do his job if his subordinates feels like he is not looking out for them.
The nature of the job is such that it will mould anyone to its requirements.

 

[Farah Sohail]

I have a strong feeling he is Raheel choice. Dr Shahid Massod mentioned a week ago when both Raheel and Bajwa were together in military excerise and he kept on repeating Bajwa name.

He definitely got strong personality. build like a bulldozer just like Raheel. Sheer personality is very important while dealing with other powers. Raheel made yanks his bitches. imagine you are a yank and you wanna do hard bargain with the like of Raheel and Bajwa! in today's world, most wars and ba

No.... Gen Raheel sharif and army's choice was Gen Ashfaq Nadeem... Even Rauf klasra, who correctly told the name of Gen Qamar Bajwa, as COAS, in his prog few days ago, also mentioned in the same prog, tht military circles favored Gen Ashfaq Nadeem, and Rauf klasra, also said tht i want to tell Gen Raheel Sharif tht i can bet, aap likh kar rakh lein..Nawaz Sharif kabhi bhi aap ki marzi ka next chief nahi banayein ge... Even all other analysts were also saying tht Gen Raheel Sharif/army wanted Gen Ishfaq Nadeem

In India they elected someone guilty of mass murder

On the contrary, Pakistani generals are overweight (or fat, if you want to be impolite). Dalbir Singh is super fit even at 60 and would kick your *** any day!

Yaar yeh kick tou baad main karega, iss ki topi pehlay hi gir jaegi...


Ask your Army chief to get the topi (cap) that fits him..

LOL dude he looks like he has aspbergers syndrome. He can't even wear his hat properly. GTFO


In comparison Raheel looks like he could bear hug this dude to death.

 

[Samlee]

LOL he is well known for his fitness. In fact even among Indian generals, he is one of the fittest we have ever had. Only a Pakistani keyboard warrior, probably overweight himself, can call this guy malnourished. Trust me, very few people can look that fit at 60. He runs 10 km daily, look up.

Oh Surre!!! As If Our Generals Eat Popcorns and Sit Infront of A Tv All Day

Oh Ok.

I am gonna post anything today.

 

[A.M.]

Ppl, who know the new chief, dont seem to have high opinion of him

And Pakistanis can't even wait 24 hours before started crap about the new general.

Such people should be removed from the army immediately. Or better yet, should resign if they have an ounce of self respect.

 

[Winchester]

Something needs to be done about this Maryam Nawaz's social media team.....the deliberate hoax being perpetuated by shady pages on FB on the beliefs of the incoming chief was a well planned effort.
I have no doubt that the general would not be happy when it is reported to him about who was behind these reports when he settles in.
Maryam is playing a dangerous game and she may think she is clever but there is no happy ending for her here.

May be but his electoral success was due to his economic performance.

It will take time for religious bigotry and hatred to get diminished in the sub-continent. We feel pride in being haters and jingoists.

However, India has improved considerably though they have to tackle their own JuDs and LeJs like the RSS. Religious nut bags of all flavours will always be a strain.
