ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Tuesday arrived at the Parliament House to brief the senators on the national security in an in-camera session of the Committee of the Whole House.
Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Naveed Mukhtar, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza and Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj General Asif Ghafoor are accompanying the army chief.
Gen Bajwa is briefing the house on his recent visits to Afghanistan, Iran and other security issues confronting the country.
The in-camera session of the Senate committee is underway with Chairman of the Senate Mian Raza Rabbani in the chair.
DG ISI Naveed Mukhtar will brief the media on the in-camera session after it concludes.
A day earlier, Rabbani informed the house about Gen Bajwa’s scheduled briefing to the senators on internal and external security situation.
He said he was informed by the GHQ that Director General Military Operations Major General Sahir Shamshad Mirza will accompany the army chief in the Senate briefing.
The Committee of the Whole House was constituted to ‘prepare policy guidelines in the light of emerging regional realities and the role of the United States’, according to a notification issued earlier in this regard.
Later in the day, the Senate will also take up the 24th Amendment Bill that will pave the way for fresh delimitation of constituencies on the basis of provisional results of the recently held population census.
On Dec 15, in a significant breakthrough, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi succeeded in convincing the opposition PPP in the Senate to vote for the amendment to avert the threat of delay in the next general elections scheduled in August next year.
