Lt General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, tipped to be Pakistan Army chief, visits China

[Amar Bail]

Gen Ramday the third one,mmight be very good...but his appointment as COAS will give wrong impression... It will look more like a political appointment, rather than on merit..since he is nephew of Justice Ramday and thus, political connections withPML N

He is war hardened, cool minded and the most sane General and quite logically P.M would contact him back doors and may appoints him.

@bold... Cool minded? Matlab, not the one, to impose martial law? So should this be the criteria only? Gen ashfaq Nadeem has been both CGS and DGMO too, plus Corps Comm Multan.....if we see on merit, he should be the ideal choice....

They all rose to the ranks of Generals on merit but would be selected by a civilian on personal choice

Jingoistic tr@sh Indian media.

I stopped reading after "Uri attack".

Losers! These Indian media!

 

[!eon]

I think his chances to become CJCSC are more.... And mostly likely Lt. Gen Ashfaq Nadeem will be COAS, IF chosen on merit

That is correct about CJCS.
First: he is senior most.
Second: how political and even some non political circles can absorb so much power in COAS office ?

IF chosen on merit

no such word in Pakistani dictionary

I am sure Nawaz Sharif must be wondering to amend the constitution so that he can become Army Chief himself beside being Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan .....haha !

If not himself, then atleast appoint Captain Safdar as Army chief

His wife maryum nawaz should be preferable by nawaz.. her daughter may take the job of Joint Chief.

Well quite frankly Indian media is just guessing here.

Lt Gen Zubair Hayat is from the artillery and the serving CGS. As a three-star general, he was previously posted as director general of the Strategic Plans Division (SPD), which is the secretariat of the NCA; and corps commander Bahawalpur. This makes him an ideal choice for the post of CJCSC, who has an almost exclusive jurisdiction over nuclear forces and assets.

It is very rare for someone posted at the SPD to go back to the army. Therefore, many see in his return to the GHQ within a year and half of his transfer to the SPD an ambitious rise to a four-star position.

His postings as CGS and DG SPD afforded him an opportunity to work very closely with PM Sharif and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.

During his tenure as a major general, he was general officer commanding (GOC) Sialkot and later headed the Staff Duties (SD) Directorate, whose personnel are commonly known in the army as ‘paper tigers’. His stay at the directorate and his earlier posting as principal staff officer to the army chief brought him closer to Gen Kayani, and he is generally seen as Gen Kayani’s protégé.

However, his primary shortcoming is that he has never served in a conflict zone.

Some of those who worked with him describe him as “workaholic” and a “vociferous reader”.

He is also said to have a very sharp memory.

Gen Zubair is a second generation officer. His father retired as a major general, while two of his brothers are generals: Pakistan Ordnance Factories Wah Chairman Lt Gen Omar Hayat and Inter-Services Intelligence DG (Analysis) Maj Gen Ahmad Mahmood Hayat.

Ermm... I think..since Capt Safdar had ONCE served in army....so i think Nawaz would have a little bit better legal case... He is ready to sacrifice this much, on legal grounds.. After all, he is constitution and democracy lover... He will sacrifice his daughter for constituition and democracy sake.. He will grudgingly tolerate her husband as Army chief

I heard on a news channel tht Gen Raheel is favoring Lt. Gen Ashfaq Nadeem for the post of next COAS

Zubair Hayat visit when only two months are left and visit is to China. I think it's enough indication to take a safe guess @Arsalan

Hmmm I see.

Well personally i favor ishfaq Ahmed and qamar Jawad bajwa. Consider them to be the better candidates for the army chief but hopefully if hayat becomes the army chief then he proves me wrong and does excellent work bcz we quite frankly need an army chief that will continue the good work of raheel Sharif and continue targetting terrorists.

Never the less if he gets the job then I will support him and hope that he proves me wrong and doea excellent work.

PM is a douchebag who got spanked every time he tried to choose a COAS to kiss his arse... he ended up kicking his arse...

Isnt Gen Ashfaq Nadeem often said to be .. Gen Raheel's right mand man? Also, hes had all the perfect postings to be an ideal candidate for COAS post..
So your sources say, Gen Zubair Hayat is more favored by Gen Raheel for COAS post?
