ISLAMABAD – Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Friday said that the Pakistan Army was playing its constitutional role of facilitation under the Article 245 to defuse the prevailing situation.


Talking to a private TV channel, he said that there was nothing wrong in the facilitation role of a state institution. He said that the Article 245 was imposed in the federal capital in the wake of marches and sit-ins of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to maintain security and law and order.


He said that there was a possibility of bloodshed after provoking speeches of both leaders of the PAT and the PTI. So the army played its constitutional role, he said. “I think there is nothing wrong in it as it is within the constitution,” he said.


In the context of Article 245, there was a role of the Pakistan Army to safeguard Islamabad, maintain internal security and law and order, the minister said.

Khawaja sahib should explain this to his fellow parliamentarians ones who were undercut by his party leadership.

There is no explanation needed to clarify what the Army is doing. It is crystal clear already.
 
Yes, the Army is clearly protecting its control of all things important, by all means necessary. :D

In that case nice to see sitting government hence politicos helping army.:agree:

Again unsubstantiated claims! And I think we have an agreement on this, don't we?

(2) The validity of any direction issued by the Federal Government under clause (1) shall not be called in question in any court.

(3) A High Court shall not exercise any jurisdiction under Article 199 in relation to any area in which the Armed Forces of Pakistan are, for the time being, acting in aid of civil power in pursuance of Article 245:
Provided that this clause shall not be deemed to affect the jurisdiction of the High Court in respect of any proceeding pending immediately before the day on which the Armed Forces start acting in aid of civil power.

(4) Any proceeding in relation to an area referred to in clause (3) instituted on or after the day the Armed Forces start acting in aid of civil power and pending in any High Court shall remain suspended for the period during which the Armed Forces are so acting.

Any disagreements are pointless. The Army will do what it wants. Like always.

Army will do means army hasn't done anything so far - it also means politicos still have time to stanch something on its way. So unlike always they can stand refute & unlike always can fill the gap politically.
