Opposing any move to give extension in services to Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif, PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan Monday predicted that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) did not seem to complete its tenure.
Talking to media here, he said the services of the COAS for the nation would be remembered in history. However, he said the PPP is not in favour of giving extension to him in his service.
Aitzaz said the army chief had taken bold steps in the best national interest. The launch of the successful operation Zarb-e-Azb against terrorists in North Waziristan was the big achievement of the army chief, but as per Constitution, he had to retire at the specific time.
The mistakes committed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had cost him in the past and this time again his government was not going to complete its term, he added.
Replying to a question, he said Pakistan was not involved in any act of terrorism in India. The two countries’ ties should improve at all costs, he added.
Aitzaz said that the PPP had nothing to do with terrorism. If Dr Asim was involved in corruption then action should be taken against him, he added.
