GHQ in loop about PM's letter on army chief appointment: Khawaja Asif.

ISLAMABAD -- Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that the General Headquarters (GHQ) have been informed about his ministry receiving Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's letter in relation to the new chief of army staff's appointment.

'The process will complete in two to three days. The excitement will end, after which we will deal with Imran Khan,' he said while addressing the National Assembly.

Earlier today, the minister announced that the process of appointing the army chief and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff committee (CJCSC) had begun.

Commenting on news regarding the army chief's appointment, Khawaja Asif said: 'Fake news was spread regarding the appointment of an institution's head. This institution has had a role in the past, which was extra-constitutional. Today, the institution wants to play their role based on the constitution. Today, after 75 years, the institution wants to obey the constitution which shouldn't be hindered.'
