The incumbent Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) retires at the end of November 2022. The new appointment is likely to be made during the next few weeks. Intense speculation has gripped the country about the new appointment given the overarching role of military in national affairs.
The current COAS Gen. Bajwa has already announced that he is not seeking another extension.
In a separate tweet, PM Shehbaz Sharif said on Twitter, “Imran Niazi is playing a dangerous game. He is using tragic killing of Arshad Sharif for petty politics & going to the extent of casting aspersions on state institutions. He should be patient & wait for findings of Judicial Commission instead of resorting to baseless allegations.”
Imran Khan is all set to start his long march from Lahore to Islamabad on Friday. The marchers intend to reach Islamabad on November 4.
Earlier, one of Khan's close aides Faisal Vawda said in a press conference that the forthcoming march will lead to a bloodbath.
