Short memory guy
October 2019 Imran khan asks Bajwa to replace Asim munir
October 2019 General Faiz becomes ISI Chief
October 2019 Nawaz gets bail for medical reason and able to leave for London.
Imran Khan either intentionally or by stupidity did that ....
Now crying like a hypocrite about Asim munir
If Khan can replace Asim munir for personal reasons then as a Muslim I believe Asim munir should be allowed to take revenge.
That's just called justice .. as khan use to preach ...

Five-year tenure reset
To translate the constitutional overhaul into the military’s legal framework, the government amended the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) of 1952 in the wake of the 27th Amendment.
Sub-section (i) of PAA’s Article 8A now states that “for the first appointment of the chief of the army staff concurrently the chief of the defence forces […], the tenure under this section shall commence from the date of notification of the said office”.
It explains that upon the issuance of the notification for the first COAS-plus-CDF, the “existing tenure of the incumbent chief of the army staff shall be deemed to have recommenced from the date of such notification”.
Under sub-section (iii) of Article 8A, the “terms and conditions” of the COAS concurrently with the CDF shall be determined by the president on the prime minister’s advice.
Field Marshal Munir was appointed army chief on Nov 29, 2022, becoming the 17th army chief to assume the command of the Pakistan Army.
In November 2024, the government brought changes to the PAA, extending the tenure for all three services chiefs from three to five years, keeping the CJCSC’s tenure unchanged at three years. The same amendments allowed the services chiefs to be reappointed and/or their tenures to be extended for up to five years, instead of up to three years.
Therefore, in line with the restructuring under the 27th Amendment, the recent PAA changes allow the president, on the prime minister’s advice, to reappoint the COAS-plus-CDF for another five years, or extend his tenure by up to five years, creating legal space for him to retain his position till December 2035.

Delay in notification
The prolonged delay in issuing the notification had triggered intense speculation, especially after the post of CJCSC was abolished on Nov 27 when Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza retired.
The absence of a notification on Nov 29, the date when Field Marshal Munir’s original three-year term as army chief (prior to last year’s amendment) ended, fuelled further uncertainty about whether the government was holding back the appointment to negotiate upcoming four-star postings.
Political circles suggested the delay may have been used to bargain over the selection of the new Commander National Strategic Command (CNSC), the Vice Chief of the Army Staff (VCOAS) and potentially a future ISI chief.
The army had already clarified that no VCOAS was being appointed. Under the amended law, the appointments of the CNSC and any VCOAS are tied to the CDF’s recommendations.

New organogram
Meanwhile, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said on Thursday the defence ministry was finalising a new organogram for the CDF and had shared a draft with the Prime Minister’s Office a day earlier.
He dispelled the impression of differences over a CDF notification, stressing that it was delayed since the premier was out of the country.
Officials say the organogram will lay out the command flows between the CDF, the service chiefs and the newly established strategic command.

KARACHI: Business community has welcomed the appointment of Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir as Pakistan’s first Chief of Defense Forces (CDF)
Mian Zahid Hussain, President Pakistan Businessmen and Intellectuals Forum & All Karachi Industrial Alliance, Chairman National Business Group Pakistan and Chairman Policy Advisory Board FPCCI, extended his warmest felicitations to Field Marshal Asim Munir on his historic appointment as Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), in addition to his portfolio as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
He stated that the business community welcomes this landmark decision, which marks a pivotal evolution in Pakistan’s defense infrastructure.
The creation of the Office of the Chief of Defence Forces is a highly significant development that ensures a unified command structure, streamlining decision-making across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. From a business and economic perspective, this consolidation of command signals stability, clarity, and strength—factors that are critical for investor confidence and long-term economic planning.
A synchronized military leadership is essential not just for borders, but for guaranteeing the internal security requisite for industrial growth.
He proposed that with the new unified command under the CDF, the state must implement a “Whole-of-System” approach by revitalizing the NAP with zero tolerance for militancy.
Rafiq Suleman, Convener of the Central Standing Committee on Rice Export of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and former Chairman of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP), congratulated Field Marshal Asim Munir on his appointment as the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) of Pakistan, in addition to his role as the Chief of Army Staff.
He stated that Field Marshal Asim Munir has elevated Pakistan’s honour and prestige worldwide, and today, leaders of many countries globally are paying tribute to him.
However, he pointed out that rice exporters are facing significant challenges, especially regarding tax issues and the priority handling of rice ships at Port Qasim. He expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister of Pakistan for removing the 0.25 percent Export Development Surcharge on exports and urged the Ministry of Finance to issue the notification as soon as possible.
Malik Mohammad Bostan, Chairman of the Exchange Association of Pakistan, the representative body of money changers in the country, congratulated Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on his appointment as Pakistan’s first Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu on the extension of his service for another two years.
Bostan expressed that Field Marshal Asim Munir is our pride, and under his leadership, our brave armed forces defeated the enemy, India, with a crushing defeat. Under his command, Pakistan earned a glorious victory in the battle of truth, bringing international recognition to the country. He also stated that the appointment of the Chief of Defense Forces aligns with the modern and evolving demands of warfare, and this move will further strengthen the defense of Pakistan.
