PM calls emergency cabinet meeting again
November 26, 2019
ISLAMABAD, Nov 26 (INP): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday called an emergency meeting of his federal cabinet for the second time during the day.
According to sources, the prime minister has decided to seek the cabinet's approval on extending Chief Of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa's tenure for another three years.
The cabinet will be required to approve the summary granting the army chief another extension for three years.
The development comes a few hours after the Supreme Court of Pakistan suspended the notification granting General Bajwa an extension of three years as army chief.
Chief Justice Khosa rejected the application today (Tuesday) and took up a petition challenging the notification issued by the prime minister in public interest under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution, turning the petition into a suo motu notice.
