As Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's boss Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa gets three years extension for his current tenure, netizens trolled the Pakistan PM who just a day back was available for the search of a beggar. The decision about extension of the Army Chief was announced by an official statement by Pakistan PMO. Netizens know who the real boss is and calls out Imran Khan.

Bajwa - Imran Khan's mentor

Bajwa, who is known to be Imran Khan's mentor assumed charge as the 16th Chief of Army Staff for the Pakistan Army in November 2016. Since then an increased number of ceasefire violations and outright attacks into Kashmir has been witnessed. In 2017,  Pakistan-based terror outfits indulged in 163 incidents of terror in the Valley killing 54 civilians and martyring 83 security forces. In fact, since Bajwa took over the number of infiltration attempts went from 165 in 2016 to 220 in 2017 and 271 in 2018.

Moreover, recently after being faced with blacklisting by the FATF, Bajwa has reportedly directly interfered into Pakistan government's decisions pushing for a cabinet reshuffle. This ultimately led to Bajwa's appointment as a member of the newly-formed National Development Council headed by Prime Minister Imran Khan. 

Bajwa's extension amidst Pakistan begging to the international community to intervene over India's abrogation of Article 370. Pakistan has been rumour-mongering and spreading fake news about happenings in Kashmir after India's move to integrate Kashmir by bifurcating the state into two union territories - Ladakh and Jammu Kashmir.

Imran Khan: Bajwa's puppet

Earlier, Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat took to her social media handle and tweeted a picture of Imran Khan seated on a sofa, across him army spokesperson Asif Ghafoor was seated and beside him was ISI DG Lt. Gen Faiz Hameed and army chief of Pakistan General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Amid this, just about everyone wondered who is the 'boss' among them, a pertinent point given that Imran Khan even had to be chaperoned by Pak Army chief Bajwa when he went to meet US President Donald Trump last week. The picture highlighted how the military-terror deep state is the real wielder of power in the country.
