Pakistan PM Imran Khan, Army chief face off over appointment of new ISI chief

Prime Minister Imran Khan and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa are reportedly having disagreements over the appointment of the new director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Even as the Pakistan government says the process to appoint the new director general of spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is underway, reports suggest that Prime Minister Imran Khan and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa are having disagreements on the choice of the new spy chief.

On October 6, the Inter-Services Public Relations, which is the media arm of the Pakistan Armed Forces, announced the appointment of Lieutenant General Nadeem Ahmed Anjum as the new director general (DG) of ISI.
