Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani on Tuesday held a meeting with senior military officials at the Army General Headquarters (GHQ) following his return from China. The army chief was briefed about Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s recent interview to a Chinese newspaper wherein he said that General Kayani and ISI DG Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha’s statements to the Supreme Court were illegal. According to INP, the military leadership was extremely annoyed over the prime minister’s statement at a time when General Kayani was on an important visit to China. Sources said the military leadership also expressed surprise over the continuous change of stance by the prime minister regarding the relations between the civil and military leadership. They said the following 24 hours were extremely important as far as civil-military relations were concerned. The corps commanders’ meeting, scheduled to take place next week, has also been postponed.
