Federal Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Friday confirmed the recent development that former army chief Raheel Sharif has been made the chief of the 39-nation Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism (IMAFT).

Speaking during a talk show of a private news channel, the minister said that although he didn’t have details of the agreement at the moment, such an agreement had in fact been finalised recently.

The minister said that the incumbent government was taken into confidence about it and that due process was followed before finalising the agreement. “The prime minister was also part of the deliberations,” he added.

Asif said that any such assignment or posting required proper clearance from both the government and the General Headquarters (GHQ).

  1. Wait a minute. Khawaja Asif (Defence Minister) announces his appointment. He did not apply for extension. A nice way to question the intelligence of hundred plus million by a few on the top. Such accumulated frustrations lead to radicalism.

    • I think you have commented without comprehending the conext. Its not in the premises of the Pakistan's internal command and control.

  2. Up till now we had army for rent. Now we have generals for rent. Zia was a mercenary in Jordan, Pash in Bahrain, and now our beloved in Saudi Arabia.

  3. @ Khudija

    So, you think it's bad or shameful for Pakistan to let our Army Gen providing their services abroad?

    Don't take Pakistan Army on a lighter note. They are especial guys all over the world 🙂

    • Pakistan is a sold nation!
      If the government can become multi millionaires by sucking up to Wahabi (Zionist loving) Arabia, retired Generals also want to become overnight millionaires!
      Any what IMAFT? Saudi Arabia are the terrorists at the moment by supporting ISIS Scum and bombing civilians in Yemen.
      WHEN ARE SO CALLED ISLAMIC COUNTRIES GOING TO HELP THE PALESTINIANS?

  4. KSA and U.S. are partners and want to fool the Muslims once again. KSA has no love for Muslims. Pakistanis are treated like slaves and abused by KSA Shame on us for failing see through their designs
