Good move, defence secretary, security minister etc should all be ex military or highly qualified people, foreign minister, UN representative, ambassadors should also be professional and highly qualified people, not some lote.

Imagine highly qualified professional UK, USA, Europe ambassadors meeting our overseas Pakistanis and discussing Pakistani policies, encouraging them to invest in Pakistan, trying to solve their problems, helping them with imports, ofcourse he would need a team. This will give a great image of Pakistan.

Normally the tenure is of 2 years, he only served 1.

there is no "normally" . Previous ISI chief who saw Feb 2019 Stand off , didnt complete even 1 year as ISI Chief and is now Corps Commander Gujranwala . Sacked ppl are not tasked with post of Corps Commander or commander Army Strategic Force Command . Please go to a doctor .

Or maybe the ISI chief was also sacked because he failed to act on time during Feb 2019? Which was literally the case.
It's highly unusual in Army to shuffle top brass before their tenure ends.

Secretary Defense is a post for the Civilian Bureaucracy, he might be a really competent person. But by the same logic can a Civilian Bureaucrat be appointed to a high post in the Military if he has the correct qualifications?

sacked generals don't get promoted. becoming the head of an entire Corp is a big promotion compared to being an ISI chief, which, in its own right, is a very prestigious position.

Maybe he was better at commanding troops than spies. Hence using the word sacked would be harsh on him. How ever on Gen hilal, he was sacked from Corps Commander Mangla to ASFC.
Can our little birds on PDF get more info on him?
P.S, What's the role of defence secretory?

What does it matter anyway? Defence secretary has no power over the army in practise. This is just a more blatant version of the existing status quo.
