Here's How Pakistanis Are Reacting After The Supreme Court Suspended General Bajwa's Extension As Chief Of Army Staff

Supreme Court suspended notification for General Bajwa being given extension

The general assumption has been that the military forces are the most organized institutions in Pakistan. Therefore they are also considered, by many, the most suitable final authority in matters of state security. However, being a democracy, institutions like the Supreme Court, the Legislature and the office of the President can sometimes have a power struggle with the military. This is exactly what’s shocking many Pakistanis right now.

 

Earlier today the Supreme Court just dismissed the Government’s notification for General Bajwa being given extension to serve as the Chief of Army Staff

Back in August Prime Minister Imran Khan had given a notification for the extension of General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s extension. However, in the recent hearings the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, raised a concern that the notification can only be issued by the President of Pakistan. Owing to this and concerns over the timeline and cabinet’s approval, the chief justice said that “the summary and approval of army chief’s extension is not correct”. Therefore, the notification for the extension of General Bajwa’s tenure as the Chief of Army Staff has been dismissed until tomorrow.
