A write up that a veteran Washington Post correspondent will envy.

A lay man view is that it changes nothing for India , ISI as an institution and its goals remain unchanged. Hope BJP nationalists don’t try to jump on this band wagon.

This is only and completely Pak Army personnel rivalry brewing for the last two years. Long and short is Imran and Faiz had agreed to rub each other’s back where Hamid will become Army Chief and Imran to be assured tenants years of reign. And further more , once Munir’s name surfaced , Hamid foolishly tried to paint him as Shia, and even went to the extent of investigating his visits to Iran if there were any or how many. Even Saudi’s were alerted about Munir being a risk.

Once Munir’s elevation to Army Chief was announced , Hamid knew that his game is over . He resigned with General Bajwa same day. But little did he know , his goose was cooked.

It is just Army Chief ‘s consolidation of his powers and warning to closet critics of Munir.
