The federal government has appointed Lieutenant General Muhammad Munir Afsar as the chairman of the National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA).
The approval for his appointment came during a meeting of the federal cabinet chaired by Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Monday.
The cabinet was informed that the selection committee had shortlisted names of the three best candidates for the post. After detailed consideration, the cabinet approved the appointment of Lieutenant General Muhammad Munir Afsar as the new chairman of NADRA. Subsequently, the Ministry of Interior issued a notification for his appointment.
He takes over the position of chairman from Asad Rehman Gilani who assumed the charge in June after Tariq Malik resigned from the post citing a “charged and polarized political environment.”
It is pertinent to mention here that the newly appointed NADRA chairman was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General in October last year.

No matter how much you criticize them, they don’t care about our country.
Yes.
They also do it openly and they say to us “can you do anything?”
Literally this is what Bajwa has said in his recent inteview!!
People will do what they can. Most probably try to leave the country.
The hatred the awam has now will not go in generations to come. These firouns might not perceive at the moment what they have done.
This awamy hatred will affect things in different ways that we might not see at the moment.
A very shameful day in the history of Pakistan. Nadra is a premier Data warehousing Institute of Pakistan. It needs Top Data Scientists, Data Engineer and Top Big Data experts to run it professionally. A General of Pakistan has nothing to do with such concepts of Computer Sciences. This decision cannot be justified in any manner. Utterly shameful and nothing else.
Where the Data Scientists and Data Engineers of Pakistan should go where even their job is now being done by a General of Pakistan Army?. How can we compete with the world when there is no merit even in technical institutes of Pakistan ?
Nadra had the potential to compete internationally against Data processing giants like Oracle, Teradata, cloudera etc. Nadra developed the capacity to process Terabytes of Data. But all hopes and dreams are dashed.
With such kind of an appointment we can safely say that Nadra is actually finished. Another institute of Pakistan bites the dust. Can anyone justify this appointment in any manner?. Where is merit in Pakistan?
Lanat
Lanat! NADRA was the only functioniong public institution, now it’s bad days have also started. Thr legacy left behind by Tariq Malik is soon going to be tarnished.

This is my last comment on Propakistani. If you think that you can manipulate and censor voices and can delete comments then you are living on a fools world. Truth will prevail eventually.
How can you believe in any future election result when we know that Army is now controlling Nadra.?. They have now the full control over the registration and data of all Pakistanis.
Bas Karo for God’s sake… Nadra ka chairman should be tech savvy geek with brains not ………..
Astaghfirullah
Beghairat
Nadra is a data warehousing institute. It requires Top Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Big Data experts, Mathematicians and Software Engineers. A General of Pakistan has no background in Computer Sciences or an in-depth knowledge of data mining, big data ,data lake or data warehousing. On what grounds he is selected? This is against Merit?.
