The ongoing battle against the menace of terrorism across the country was the main ground on which the important decision was made, sources told Daily Pakistan. The sources further added that the recommended officials would prove to be the most adequate persons for the task.
Lt. Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa was previously Commander of important Rawalpindi Corps and was presently employed as Inspector General Training and Evaluation, at GHQ, a position General Raheel Sharif held before becoming the army chief.
