Imran Khan, as opposition leader, had opposed extension to then Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on the grounds that such actions weakened a country's institutions.
General Qamar Javed Bajwa, who was appointed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in 2016, got the extension in view of 'regional security environment'.
Cape Town and Chennai in recent years endured punishing droughts. Similar conditions afflicted Bengaluru and Hyderabad last year. Now Tehran is facing the same emergency.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
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.
Amazing piece of conspiracy theory. I agree with the RealPolitik ingredient of the analysis that Bajwa’s extension gave stability to Imran government but the insinuation that this is somehow bad or ‘immoral’ is nonsense. Good move but biased analysis.
Yes, it seems possible. It is the US pressure on Pakistan which is responsible for extension to Gen Bazawa. For the time being, all three, namely Imran, US and Bazawa seem to be on same wavelength, but how long? Here any nonstate actors active in the AfPak region, which are supported by all or anyone of the three, can spoil the game.
What a Wonderfull piece of yellow journalism or as we call Lifafa journalism. Now India can only wish to show the world that he is not elected bcz Hazaron kawaish asi ke her kawaish pe jan nikle. One advice for “The Print” please get used of Imran khan bcz he is here to stay. If you want to see how independent Pakistani journalists are, then just see how this writer was able to say all this against Mititary & IK but still able to live in PK. Now show some guts and report on actual situation in Kashmir.
Are you actually trying to insinuate that press is free in Pakistan?..is it due to this free press that numerous channels, newspapers get shut down periodically on a whim?..or is it this free press that gets a Pemra notice to ‘must talk on kashmir’ and ‘must not talk or show interviews of the opposition?!!? How about you guys show some guts and report on actual situation in Ex FATA? Why have the PTM leaders been arrested without evidence (real evidence) or a trial? Glasshouses and stones my friend!
Btw we thought Pakistanis were hospitable people…all this talk for just 1 cup of tea? While we shared 90K cups of tea, food, even did rightful burials which you wouldn’t, but never mentioned it! Now you can go back to your handlers to get new instructions.
S Gupta hehe what an idiot who wants to replicate NDTV success hypocrite
From what I understand Pakistan military decide by consensus at the corps commanders’ level. Extending Bajwa for another three years may have set the resentment brewing within the 3-Star army chief hopefuls. So, it’s unlikely that IK will have a trouble-free inning going forward. Already IK has earned the title of U-turn Khan, and even after crushed by the weight of the big Boots the opposition is still gaining enough ground support to have their voice heard.
The PM and the Army may be on the same page but the page belong to the Army!
Modi must be charge sheeted. He must be tried and punished. This must be a lesson for other crooks!
Gul is angry that chacha Zardari is in prison! Enough said.
No wait!!! Adi Talpur is in prison too….
More where that came from!
Every COAS think that he is the man who can strengthen the economy & problems

Gen Ayub Khan was the first pakistani military chief who got extension in service from a civilian ruler Gen kiyani was second

I must compliment ThePrint for the fine selection of writers from Pakistan. I hope Ms. Bukhari stays safe and continues to write fearlessly.
