Who’s who in the race
The new army chief in Pakistan will replace General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Bajwa will retire on 27 November. It was Imran Khan who extended the service of General Bajwa by three years. But in April, Imran Khan was removed from power through a no-confidence motion. Since then, there is a tussle between Imran and the army. In the race to become the new general of Pakistan are Lt Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza and Lt Gen Azhar Abbas who have a good understanding of matters related to India. The third is General Lt Asim Munir who was the ISI chief during the Pulwama attack in India.

Imran does not like Asim Munir
Of the three generals, Aseem Munir is considered such a person that if he becomes the army chief, India-Pakistan relations will remain tense. According to reports, this is because after the Pulwama attack, it was Aseem Munir’s decision that the Pakistani Air Force should attack in response to India’s air strike. However, Aseem Munir was removed from the post of ISI chief after a short tenure of one year. This is because the then Prime Minister Imran Khan did not like his rule-based behavior all the time. For this reason, a section of the ruling PML-N supports making him the army chief.

The X Corps oversees operations in parts of Kashmir and Abbas was negotiating on behalf of Pakistan to implement the ceasefire on the LoC in February 2021.
