Pakistan's Attorney General Anwar Mansoor on Thursday said that the government would fulfil the obligation to legislate on the matter of an army chief's appointment and extension of tenure.
Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, who headed a three-member Supreme Court bench, granted a six-month extension to Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa after getting an assurance from the government that Parliament will pass a legislation on the extension/reappointment of army chief within six months.
Addressing the media along with Barrister Farogh Naseen, who resigned from his post as law minister on Tuesday to represent Gen Bajwa in the case, Mansoor said the legislation on the issue would be "a matter of honour for the government."
