Corps commanders to meet today



 












ISLAMABAD: The Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), General Raheel Sharif, has convened a scheduled corps commanders conference today (Wednesday) at the GHQ, Rawalpindi, where the security situation in the country and reports pertaining to operational matters would come up for discussion.
Experts dealing with national security issues are of the view that the routine conference has attained significance in statement of the COAS who has made it amply clear that “while our country is faced with multiple internal and external challenges, Pakistan Army upholds the sanctity of all institutions and will resolutely preserve its own dignity and institutional pride.” The COAS said this while responding to the concerns of soldiers on undue criticism of the Institution in recent days.

Meanwhile, sources told The News that the PM House hosted an informal meeting on Monday evening where the statement of General Raheel was discussed and again on Tuesday Prime Minister Nawaz had discussion with the two federal ministers who have become focus of the controversy. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his team have already made up their mind for dealing with the tangle as he will be posted about the further developments during his trip to China that will be commencing today. The sources pointed out that the GHQ will deliberate about the statements of the ministers and relevant events in the commanders’ conference.
