US congratulates Gen Bajwa on being named COAS
By News Desk
Published: December 1, 2016
The United States on Thursday congratulated General Qamar Javed Bajwa on being appointed Pakistan’s army chief.
On being asked whether there would be any changes under Gen Bajwa’s leadership, State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner said, “He was just appointed at the end of November, so let’s give this gentleman a chance to get up to speed.”
Ohio State attacker described himself as ‘pious and scared’ Muslim
“We congratulate him on the appointment and welcome his – the transition to a new chief of army staff,” Toner said while addressing a media briefing in Washington.
Referring to the country’s stance on counter-terrorism cooperation with Pakistan, Toner said the United States was working “quite closely” with Pakistan.
“They’re aware of some of our concerns, which include a safe haven for some terrorist groups that are active in the region,” he said, adding that Pakistan had also paid the price of terrorism.
Gen Bajwa formally welcomed as COAS at GHQ
“It’s in their interests, obviously, to crack down on any terrorist group that may be finding safe haven within its borders.”
On being asked to address concerns about people like the Ohio State University attacker Abdul Razak Ali Artan being trained in Pakistan, Toner said it was something that was still being probed.

The article does not mention about the Journalist asking the question, however, here it is how does it happened. Before few of our friends may come with an excuse and so-called copy paste lines like it is usual, might asked by a Pakistani Journo to get a reply for public consumption, feel good planted question etc, I would like to draw everyone's attention to the following clip from the same presser as an Eye Opener. It was not just an answer but for many that can understand, it is actually a message not on our behalf but to make sure that India has try more to make it like real or close to that.

It is not just done for the first time but has been happening in past whereby Indian journalist tries to be pretty smart and rather than doing some professional task, acted like a GoI representative with nothing but blames and assumptions (the assumption is clearly used in reply to the Journo). So, if still there is any sense left despite the several treatments in return, we can only pray for the quality in future which seems unlike to happen. Once again, a well deserved treatment in reply not from Pakistan etc but the US herself against a pathetic and mindset journalism.
