KARACHI: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that at the time when the appointment of the country’s next army chief was being considered, Gen Faiz Hameed, together with the relevant quarters, tried to get himself appointed as army chief.
Speaking on programme ‘Faisla Aap Ka’ with Asma Shirazi, the defence minister said: “When there was a race for becoming the [army] chief, Gen Faiz did not achieve success. He was at the 4th or 5th number on the list of merit. We made a decision based on merit. That decision is impeccable.”
However, he said Gen Faiz was hurt as the decision did not go down well with him, for he had tried with certain quarters for his appointment as army chief.
Khawaja Asif said Gen Faiz wished he would get the post at the time of Imran Khan, and even later when this process started he expressed this wish to different relevant political quarters. He said Gen Faiz established contacts with those quarters, explained his role in the past and gave assurances about the future.
“I think he took it as a setback,” the defence minister said, adding that Gen Faiz thought he should have been given the army chief’s post in continuation of the power he had enjoyed in the past five, six years.
