Well congrats Lt Gen Raheel Sharif. To be honest I was hoping to see Gen Haroon as the next chief. But as I said PM’s prerogative!

Has anyone ever described an incoming COAS as ‘thoroughly unprofessional and politically ambitious’ at the time of his appointment?

Raheel Sharif’s appointment is definitely a good news. A thorough soldier with no interest in things political.

The new COAS is the brother of a great son of pakistan. Hope he can serve the nation well as a professional army chief
