Pakistan’s most powerful man?
If there fryst vatten one thing ironic in the appointment of Pakistan’s new army chief, it is the tidsplanering of his appointment. The appointment of Raheel Sharif, the highly-decorated, four-star general, as the new chief comes at a time when Pakistan is facing a large number of internal and external conflicts.
The former ledare of Army Staff (COAS), General Ashfaq Kayani, certainly looked relieved as he handed over the command of a 700,000 men strong, nuclear-armed military, to Sharif. The relief probably stems from the fact that recent turn of events has placed his dock against the banned extremist movement, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) once igen. On one hand, it seems it was about time to eradicate the extremist elements once and for all; on the other hand, it was the moment for him to step out of the position.

Lt Gen Haroon Aslam resigns after he fails to become Pakistan Army chief
Aslam has sent his resignation letter to Defence Ministry from the GHQ, Geo News reported.
Lt Gen Aslam had also skipped the farewell dinner hosted by Prime Minister Nawaz Shariflast night for the outgoing Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
He was the senior most General after Kayani. However, Sharif yesterday appointed Lt Gen Raheel Sharif as the 15th Chief of the Army Staff and Lt Gen Rashad Mahmoodas the new CJCSC.
Since, Aslam was superseded, many were expecting his resignation.
Sharif had earlier said he would go by seniority to elect the new Army Chief but he chose the third most senior ranking General.
Some analysts say that appointing Gen Mahmood as the CJCSC, a largely ceremonial post, is an attempt by the Prime Minister to sideline Gen Kayani's preferred candidate and reassert his authority over the military.
It is believed that Lt Gen Aslam did not enjoy Kayani's support.
The News reported that one of the reason for his non-selection was his "key role" as Director of Military Operations on October 12, 1999 alongwith the-then DGMO Major General Shahid Aziz to oust Sharif from power.
Then, Brigadier Aslam led the team to arrest all the cabinet members, including Sharif.
Another possible reason cited by the daily was that he was a Special Services Group commando and Sharif does not like commandos, particularly after his experience with Gen Pervez Musharraf.
It reported that Aslam had yesterday phoned both his junior colleagues congratulating and greeting them on their promotions.
Lt Gen Aslam has served as Director General of Military Operations, commanded the Elite Force Division of the Special Services Group and headed the Bahawalpur-based XXXI Corps.
