ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that appointment of new chief of army staff (COAS) will be made in the next two days, whether a summary comes or not, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
This he said while talking to a private news channel. Rana Sanaullah said those who ruled the country for thirty to forty years directly or indirectly have now decided to remain “neutrals”, which is a good omen.
He said that the appointment will be made in two days whether the summary comes or not, but why it is being assumed that the summary will not come, he asked.
Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice-president and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday termed the delay in the summary for the key appointment a ‘constitutional violation’ and ‘failure’.
