ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has drawn the attention of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to the lack of terrorism-related cases being transferred to military courts.
He has informed the PM that the government has not forwarded any cases to military courts since January this year.
General Qamar has written a demi-official (DO) letter to explain the issue prior to it being referred officially.
“I have no doubt that the government is serious about implementing the National Action Plan. However, no case has been forwarded to military courts for last many months,” the COAS wrote in the letter.
The source said that after receiving the Army chief’s letter, PM Abbasi requested that the interior ministry brief him on the status of the cases.
He said Abbasi has also directed the ministry to expedite the process of transferring cases.
