Resolution for COAS extension submitted in PA

354

Pakistan People’s Party (PP) submitted resolution in support of extension of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif in the Punjab Assembly here on Wednesday.

The resolution was submitted by PPP leader Khurram Jahangir Wattu which stated that internal and external enemies became united to endanger national security while ongoing COAS played vital role in Operation Zarb-e-Azb to break backbone of the terror. The resolution sought extension of COAS employment for sake of national interest.

On the other hand, Punjab law minister Rana Sanaullah opposed the resolution, saying that debate over tenure of COAS was ‘an unconstitutional act.’
