ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Thursday called on Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan here at the Prime Minister’s office.
Director-General Inter-Services Intelligence Lt. Gen. Faiz Hamid was also present. They discussed matters pertaining to national security in the meeting.
The crucial meeting comes amid political happenings in the country as the prime minister is likely to seek a vote of confidence from the National Assembly on Saturday to limit the opposition’s ability to challenge his government.
In this regard, President Arif Alvi has convened a session of the National Assembly at 12:15PM on Saturday. The government has barred all MNAs from leaving Islamabad where the prime minister has convened a meeting to review the situation after the Senate elections.
Prime Minister Khan decided to take a vote of confidence from the lower house of Parliament after the government coalition-backed candidate Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh lost a Senate seat from Islamabad to a joint candidate of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani.
