The ISI chief is appointed by the prime minister, traditionally on the advice of the army chief. Forex Rizwan and Maj Gen Naveed Mukhtar were close contenders due to their experience of intelligence. New ISI chief — time for the PM to pick and choose. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave approval of these postings on the recommendations of General Raheel Sharif.

He is from the Frontier Force Regiment and commanded the infantry brigade and infantry division in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Fata. Previously as Sindh DG Rangers, Major General Rizwan Akhtar had been assigned with the task to lead the Karachi operation. The decision by the military headquarters had come at a time when a joint operation by police and Rangers against terrorists and criminal elements in Karachi had been in its full swing. Akhtar is also considered to have extensive experience of counterinsurgency from a previous posting in the border region of South Waziristan. He was the obvious choice," said a serving military official who had served with Akhtar. And that's been a source of great anxiety for him. So he wanted someone who doesn't have political leanings. Currently, he is serving as Director General Military Training at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. He was commissioned in Artillery in September He is a graduate of the Command and Staff College Quetta, Australia and National Defense University Islamabad. He also served as Military Secretary to the President of Pakistan. He commanded an Infantry brigade in Fata and also served as Director General Rangers Punjab.

Meanwhile, Chief of Army Staff COAS Gen Forex Sharif held a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the Prime Minister House today and took him into confidence over the latest promotions and postings in the Pakistan Army, particularly the appointment of Gen Rizwan Akhtar as Director General ISI. The army chief brought with him the appointment file of the new DG ISI and after long deliberations, the premier gave approval to the name of Major Gen Rizwan Akhtar as the new spymaster of the ISI. Under the rule, the DG ISI is directly answerable to the premier therefore the appointment of DG ISI is also approved by the premier. However, the army chief's recommendations are always given weightage by the premier. During the meeting, professional matters relating to the army, including the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb operation in North Waziristan, also came under discussion. Hopefully, he will be in a better position to control the Criminal Politicians of Karachi now. He had been pleading to hold the Party leaders responsible for the crimes committed by party workers who, of course, are under 'oath' to serve the party. The fact that he has experience in Wana means that Pakistan army goes for an intelligence boss with counter terrorism experience against TTP and allies rather than India. Good shift in policy. Good luck in crushing the terrorists A very sound assessment of the situation by someone who has come to be acknowledged as one of the most objective analysts. A pity the PTI and PAT crowd or their sponsors do not see the merit of his reasoning. The fact that the dharnas have been craftily engineered by vested interest groups,is no more a secret. It is only hoped that such incisive articles will tear through the fog of confusion based on half truths,misstatements and unsubstantiated allegations that the two performers are trying to spread. Islam was backed by the COAS and COAS is still on Roof! Very professional general, will take the Organization to new heights out of all contraversaries. Hopefully he will play a positive role to bring peace and harmony in the city of Qaid because he knows the dynamics and causes of lawlessness of the city. Please do NOT follow footsteps of notorious pasha and Zaheer. Do NOT try to close down TV channels. Do NOT create disturbance in politics by supporting miscreants like TuQ and IK. Do NOT create a strom when you retire - no one is above the country. It is good loyalists are not being chosen but rather experiences people based on merit are being chosen! I have one question, why a person from KP and Balochistan not becomes cheifs of armynavy, airforce or ISI cheif, is it because punjabies are so intelligent. Hope he visits India soon and meets PM Statesman Modi. On doing thishe will set himself on a constructive path. Seems like ISI is more focused on internal security rather than external, although we have IB and MI for same. Rizwan Akhtar had star performance as DG, Rangers in Sind and successfully countered terrorism. He is truly a soldier from toe to head in the real sense as his predecessors and hope he will keep himself and his august office totally away forex the country's dirty politics and its incumbents. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN ARMY, THE SAVIOUR OF THE COUNTRY. Its a good decision indeed. But i am afraidHe has been selected being close ally of Chief Of Army Staffif the selection of New ISI chief based on personal loyalty with the Chief Of Army Staff than it alarming and against the merit. Hope he can help secure missiles and nuclear weapons from the extremists who have already launched 2 attacks on Pakistan's navy. Australian papers have today highlighted the issue. Of course, like his perdesessors, he will keep an eye on the terrorist organisations that are busy in plotting to destabilise Pakistan!! Former DIG Rangers who was in charge of current Karachi failed cleanup operation made New DIG ISI Wow what a distinction. He failed to achieve targets in Karachi operation As DG Rangers he was under the MoI Sindh however his domain as an ISI Chief will become wider with more authority and power. Hopefully he will help Gen Raheel to eliminate terrorists from Karachi as well. Which country in the world announces the head of it's intelligence agency, publically, and then via twitter. This is a joke right. Dear General, Thanks to your contribution for peace in mega city of Karachi. Wish you best of luck on new assignment. Let's see what positive contribution he could make to bring the corrupt system and governance on the right path and direction. Hope Geo will not be able to intervene in his smooth working. If he was in charge of making Karachi safe, he failed on all account. Promotion is one option of getting him out of the mess he could not untangle. His statement of "Missing 19, containers from Karachi Port" is enough to show his irresponsible competence level. A person serving as DG Rangers issuing such a non-sense statement on court record and only the next day taking it back. Raheel wanted a close aide and only this made him get selected as DG ISI. Saud you are absolutely correct. Nawaz Sharif got a sigh of relief. Don't expect anything better. Country will drown more. Allah have mercy on us. General Rizwan Akhter has been a "complete failure" as Head of Karachi Operation. What value will he add to the ISI? This must be the first time ISPR had announced the promotion. Even during the memogate scandal, ridzwan announced. Democracy still has to come a long way in Pakistan. Appointment of major generals shouldnt be a big news. Farrukh Munir In that case,let us hope he is wiser than his predecessors who all seem to have failed miserably looking at the current state of Pakistan. Only in Pakistan the more you are incompetent the highest rank you get,DG ISI performance as DG Rangers Sindh is in front of nation where he miserably failed and closed his eyes on Taliban and Lyari gangsters in Karachi and based on ethnic bias targeted only 1 party, his outlandish comments on missing containers are also a ridzwan of his incompetency. Instead of operation Rangers is more interestd in running water tankers, schools, housing societies and other commercial ventures. He is the same General who during his tenure as DG Sindh Rangers, an innocent young man was murdered by Rangers personnel. Previously as Sindh DG Rangers, Major General Rizwan Akhtar had been assigned with the task to lead the Karachi operation.???????? Farrukh Munir Yeah the one's created to spread terror in India and now trying to destabilise Pakistan!!! Ramesh Krishnan Lets be clear not everything that happens in Pakistan is about India. Having said that the terror works both ways. The world knows what India is trying to do in Baluchistan. So get off your high horse of ignorance. Augurs well for stability of Pakistan. Ahha due to weak civil government we are are so much depending on establishment unbelievable. In normal democracy this is not even a news. A general is replaced by general not a big deal. Because of this replacement there will be no change in Pakistan we will keep on suffering. You hit the nail of the head Take a deep breath and live with the REALITY. Professionalism is more ridzwan then friendship, although he could be successful as ISI chief but was not too successful in the Karachi operation as it still goes on unabated. Otherwise not a relevant Question. Akbar Khan, 2 Gulam Jilani Khan, and One of best Soldier of Pakistan History Lt. General Hamid Gull, All was khan. So think before speak Terrorist attacks in India are planned and executed from Pakistan The whole world know this. Even your government acknowledged that. We are doing nothing to destabilise Pakistan and India never gave any statement that support balochi nationalists.
