LAHORE: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has opposed the presidential system in Pakistan as it weakens the country.
He briefed the in-camera session of the Senate on issues of security and defence on Tuesday.
It is the first time that the army chief gave such a detailed briefing to the Senate, said the former Senate chairman and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Farook H Naek.
“The army chief answered the questions, asked by the senators, in detail,” he said.
Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited Parliament House along with Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lt Gen Naveed Mukhtar, and Military Operation DG Major General Sahir Shamshad Mirza where they attended the Senate committee session.
The in-camera session of the Whole House committee was briefed by DGMO who apprised the Senate about the number of military courts decisions so far. He told that the military courts handed death sentences to 161 offenders while 56 of them had already been executed. He added that only 13 people had been executed before the launch of Operation Radd ul-Fasaad and 43 were hanged after it was launched.
