Nawaz has good relations with bajwa unlike Raheel who used to dominate over civil establishment.
Is this is the same guy whom many were projecting as ahmadi and there was some controversy regarding his religion
Anyhow if he was from baloch regmnt who is mostly situated near LoC that means next 5 yrs pak will have more concentration on its eastern front rather than western front
That is the analysis that India Today people were doing, it's highly simplistic and doesn't quite work that way. An army chief has to be well versed in a lot of things including their nuclear doctrine, politics, relation with their intel agency, relation with international arms suppliers and foreign intel agencies, and so on. He may have an expertise in LOC area but that doesn't make the other issues irrelevant and they are not in the hands of Pakistan so they will choose an all rounder. Being LOC expert is just a co-incidence.
Anyway, when the entire Pakistani army as an institution is based on an anti-India doctrine to justify their own existence, it's not surprising that the chief is also India centric. The US is pulling out troops from Afghanistan, Russia is taking more interest in Pakistan, India is taking more interest in Balochistan, China is taking more interest in CPEC, Iran is taking more interest in Pakistani ports. In such a complicated ecosystem, I don't think the army chief can afford to be LOC centric. Just because he is an expert in LOC terrain does not mean we will hit him there, there are so many theaters for us to operate in.
What I don't like about all of this is all the live commentary in Indian media, as if some new king has been elected. They did the same thing with Imran Khan's marriage. He hasn't even smelled his first day yet and Indian media has elevated his position in the psyche of the masses. Completely unnecessary. Indians are saying that Pak army chief is from Baloch regiment, how many of them can tell what regiment our army chief is from?
We are giving too much importance to the new Pak chief. He is new wine in old bottle, he will not change policy of hostility against India. Only India can change Pakistan's policy of hostility by dismembering Pakistan.
