Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that after the approval of the Army Act Amendment Bill, General Asim Munir will remain the Army Chief till 2027.

The amendment in the term will benefit the democratic governments in the future as well.

Earlier, several army chiefs were given extensions which civilian governments had to get approved by parliament, now the chapter of tenure extension is over.

The journalist asked the defense minister whether there is any deal with the PTI. In response, he said that there is nothing like that as he has heard from you.

Asif further said that the fate of Pakistan will change only when we ourselves are well. In response to a question, he said that wherever Bushra Bibi is he should not comment on it.
