Gamal Salem vs Qamar Javed Bajwa

Gamal Salem was a member of the Free Officers movement that overthrew King Farouk. He was the brother of Salah Salem and served on the Revolutionary Command Council.

Gamal Salem served as Egypt's Minister of Finance, overseeing economic policies during the early Nasser era. He implemented land reform and nationalization measures.

Gamal Salem resigned from his ministerial position due to disagreements with Nasser's policies. He later retired from politics, living in obscurity until his death.

General Qamar Javed Bajwa was appointed as the 16th Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. His appointment was seen as a continuation of the military's anti-terrorism policies, and he was given an unprecedented three-year extension in 2019, making him the longest-serving army chief since Ayub Khan.

General Bajwa launched Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, a nationwide counter-terrorism operation aimed at eliminating residual terrorist threats and consolidating gains from previous operations. The operation involved intelligence-based raids and border management, further reducing terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

Following the Pulwama attack, India launched airstrikes on Balakot, Pakistan. General Bajwa oversaw Pakistan's military response, including the downing of two Indian aircraft and the capture of an Indian pilot. The crisis de-escalated after Pakistan returned the pilot, but tensions remained high along the Line of Control.

General Bajwa played a key role in facilitating the US-Taliban peace agreement, signed in Doha. Pakistan's military provided logistical support and pressure on the Taliban to negotiate. The deal led to the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban takeover in 2021.
