Allotment to former COAS General (r) Raheel Sharif, is also under the same provision and through the government/army procedures. This debate with intent of maligning the army has the potential to create misunderstandings between state institutions, he concluded. The land in the Bedian Road area has been in focus since rumours first appeared about Gen Raheel being awarded the 90 acres. These were followed by news reports questioning the logic behind the grant of land.
