LoC situation will improve soon, says new Pak Army chief

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad-Meanwhile, Pakistan’s new army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa has voiced hope that the volatile situation along the Line of Control (LoC) will improve soon.

Soon after assuming charge as the country’s 16th chief of army staff, General Bajwa told journalists in an informal interaction that the situation “will be alright” in the near future.

The state-run news agency said General Bajwa’s optimism was contrary to the grim situation prevailing on the ground. General Bajwa’s statement was also in contrast to the one given by outgoing army chief General Raheel Sharif, who warned India against considering any misadventure against Pakistan. General Bajwa, apparently suggested that his approach may be different.
