Former Prime Minister and senior leader of the PML-N Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the government will appoint the next army chief when it is due.
The government is neither considering extending the incumbent army chief’s term nor does he want it, the PML-N leader said.
“General Bajwa is not seeking an extension and it is not in the cards. His six years are coming to an end after an extended term. And, I don’t believe an extension after an already-extended term will go in the interest of the country or the army.”
