The report claimed that the assets of Bajwa's wife went from zero to PKR 2.2 billion in six years. This news of military officials acquiring capital is not new to Pakistan.
Imran is probably aware that Bajwa is playing games with him. Precisely why he is ensuring that the Army can’t appoint a chief decisively against the PTI.
The army's word used to be a command for any government of the day. It could hire, fire, jail, exile, or murder prime ministers. But now it fears defeat at the hands of politicians.
Head of Pakistan military's PR wing has ruled out Gen. Bajwa seeking extension & speculation is rife about possible successor. Top 4 contenders all Lt Generals promoted in 2019.
As Imran Khan reverts to his role of street protests, there is no doubt that his strategy is masterly –a ‘clean leader’ fighting off a ‘foreign conspiracy’. You can’t arrest him.
The crisis also puts DGCA’s vacancies in the eye of the storm. Naidu told the Rajya Sabha in July this year that 190 out of 410 DGCA vacancies would be filled this year.
Data shows re-alignment in India’s exports, with Tamil Nadu & Telangana posting strong growth in 2024-25 as traditional heavyweights Gujarat & Maharashtra see declines. Gujarat still leads, though.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
