Imran Khan’s extension to Pakistan Army Chief Bajwa to affect 20 Generals | ET | Jan 15 2020
Know how the supreme court there commented on the extension letter. So the previous 3 yr then became 6 months
Now Imran is passing a bill to get Bajwa his 3 years
The Imran Khan government’s amendment bill in Pakistan National Assembly last week to give current Pakistan Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa extension till 2022 sidestepping Supreme Court’s decision will impact career and promotion of 20 Pakistani Army Generals.
Gen Bajwa will now be serving till November 2022. By then 20 generals of Pakistan Army will have retired, ET has learnt. Top eight generals of Pakistani are set to retire in December 2020 ahead of Bajwa’s term denying them a chance to take a shot at the top post.

“Reports from Pakistan indicate that the number two in the Pak army Lt Gen Sarfraz had been kept under house arrest and has been finally forced to resign. If true this confirms suspicions that the Pak army is a divided lot over the extension of Gen Bajwa. This is also a dangerous development because it is the chain of command that is critical in the army. Once there is dissent, the army chief loses credibility and the authority to command. This could fuel a lot of discontent in the Pak army and worse,” Tilak Devasher, member of India’s National Security Advisory Board told ET.
Bajwa gets to rake it in for another three more years according to Arif Ajakia
