In order to ward off this possibility, the man Imran Khan wants as Hameed’s replacement is believed to be the former ISPR Chief, Lt General Asif Gafoor, someone who had ingratiated himself with Imran during his stint as Director General ISPR, wrote True Ceylon. Worse, he thinks that this could perhaps be the first step to his own ouster. Basically, he fears being left out in the cold to fend for himself. Imran thinks, perhaps correctly, that with Hameed out, he will not get the political support he needs from the ISI’s dirty tricks department.
But in reality, not only has Bajwa got Hameed, who was getting a bit too close for comfort to Imran, out of the way, but given him a post that could well see his exit in disgrace and ignominy, added True Ceylon.Īs far as Imran is concerned, if Hameed has to go, then he wants his own man as DG ISI. There is speculation that Bajwa has sent Hameed to Peshawar and set him up for failure. While on the face of it, being given the command of the Peshawar Corps is push up for Hameed, it is also something of a minefield – one wrong move and that’s the end of his career, reported True Ceylon. Hameed has become very controversial for his interference and messing up on Afghanistan – he is believed to have been marched in after his very public visit to Kabul. The grapevine is that he does not want Hameed to be posted out because Hameed is seen as his man, who ensured that Imran become Prime Minister and fixed his opponents, reported True Ceylon. Instead of going along with the announcement, Imran Khan has dug in his heels. When there was a delay in the announcement of the new ISI Chief from the PM’s Secretariat, the Army decided to confront it with a fait accompli by announcing Lt General Nadeem Anjum’s name. The talk in Islamabad is that after first agreeing to Hameed’s replacement, Imran Khan changed his mind. The military announced the new postings but three days after the announcement the Prime Minister’s Secretariat has still not issued a notification on the appointment of the new Director-General of the ISI, reported True Ceylon. The new postings had been discussed and approved not just in the top echelons of the Army but also by the Prime Minister who picks the ISI Chief. Hameed had served as ISI Chief for over two and a half years and needed to command a Corps if he had to have any chance to succeed Army Chief General Qamar Bajwa when his second tenure as Army Chief ends next year. It was against this backdrop that the ISI Chief Lt Gen Faiz Hameed was posted out of ISI as the new Corps Commander in Peshawar. Three generals were due for retirement and new people had to be posted in their place. Khan tried to impose himself on the transfers and postings in the army, playing favourites with officers who he believes will do his bidding, reported True Ceylon. But it was increasingly becoming clear that the proverbial ‘page’ was fraying, even disintegrating. Publicly, both sides gave the impression of being on the ‘same page’. Islamabad : As per True Ceylon, the rift is growing between the ‘selectors’ (Pakistan Army) and the ‘selected’ (Prime Minister Imran Khan).
