Press Conference October 2022
In a highly unprecedented move, DG ISI Nadeem made a surprising appearance at a press conference alongside DG ISPR Babar Iftikhar after the former had opted to stay out of the public eye.[11] The two addressed the killing of Arshad Sharif and Imran Khans controversial statements about the army, where he allegedly referred to the COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa and other generals as Mir Sadiq and Mir Jafar, who are infamously known for being traitors.[12]

At the beginning of October 2021 the Prime Minister's Office formally received three names from the COAS for the appointment of a new Director-General of the ISI, including Lt. Gen. Nadeem Anjum, Lt. Gen. Sarfraz Ali and Lt. Gen. Saqib Malik.[13][14][15]
He was de-facto appointed by the Chief of Army Staff, following an announcement by the DG ISPR. However, the PM's secretariat did not issue a notification in this regard until 26 October 2021. Prime Minister Imran Khan announced to make a consultation for this important future assignment.[16]
