Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has said that his party sees Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill, 2020 in a positive way. Nawaz Sharif in his message to senior party leader Khawaja Asif had directed him to convene a parliamentary party meeting of the PML-N before the start of National Assembly session on Friday for consultation. The former premier has given the schedule until January 15 to approve the said amendment. He further said in his letter that neglecting the rules of procedure on this important issue will not help anyone, and added that undue hurry in passage of the bill would give an impression that the parliament has become a rubber stamp. Earlier on Thursday, the PML-N had decided to vote in favour of crucial amendments to the constitution and the Army Act to pave the way for a three-year extension in Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure. It is pertinent to mention here that Supreme Court had granted a six-month extension to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa in his service tenure in its short verdict announced on November 28. On December 16, the Supreme Court (SC) had issued a 43-page written verdict in a case related to the extension of the army chief.
