"The prime minister shares a very close relationship with the army chief," he had said. "The Prime Minister's Office will never take a step that would hurt the reputation of the army."
The minister had said that the government will adopt a legal procedure to appoint the DG ISI and will ensure all constitutional requirements are fulfilled in this regard.
"It is the prerogative of the prime minister to appoint the DG ISI," he said.
‘PM wanted Lt Gen Faiz Hameed to stay as DG ISI’
A day prior, PTI's Chief Whip in the National Assembly Amir Dogar had said that PM Imran Khan wanted Lt Gen Faiz Hameed to continue as the director-general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) amid the evolving situation in Afghanistan.
"The prime minister wanted Lt Gen Faiz Hameed to serve for a few more months," Dogar, who is also the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs had said during an interview with a private TV channel.
The chief whip had said the premier, during Tuesday's cabinet meeting, had mentioned that respect for the army and for the prime minister go hand in hand, adding the government wants to be on the same page with all the institutions.
The prime minister, according to Dogar, had noted that Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum was also a good professional soldier.
Dogar had said three to five names will be put forward before the prime minister and he will pick the new DG ISI from them. "The prime minister said he has no egoistical concerns (when it comes to the appointment)."

I think IK administration wants to see service chiefs tenure to be same as PM tenure. I made a thread/comment why this should be a while back.

And if I remember correctly recently there was a bill moved in Parliament to extend the tenure of service chiefs and make it same as PM.

Extensions should be banned --- those who give them and take them, like rishwat, should be ridiculed. A law should be passed that ends all possibility of extensions forever.

This personality worship nonsense, whether at the ISI or GHQ, is further eroding these institutions. Not happy about this circus at all.

Imran khan is a "Bonga" who takes "urta teer" unnecessarily.
Imran khan doesn't know the inner working of intelligence and should not interface.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

By the looks of it, screw up by ISPR? Without the signature of PM under dotted lines, how the announcement was made?

Hope it's just a unintentional messup, nothing more.
