The GHQ has postponed the security briefing scheduled for Parliament’s Defence Committee on Thursday (22 Apr) without citing any reasons, the DawnNews TV reported. The briefing was arranged to apprise the lawmakers of the ‘War on Terror’ and the border situation.
The Parliamentarians, who have just clipped the wings of the President, were told that they would be taken to the GHQ in a special bus, but a few members had reservations to visit the army headquarters for the briefing.
Initially, the Committee summoned Army’s top brass to brief the lawmakers but the army officers refused to visit Parliament House citing security concerns.
In the run up to the ‘dialogue’, the General held ‘briefings’ to the Foreign Secretary and other top civilian officials at the GHQ. This was unusual even by Pakistan standards where the army had ruled the country for almost forty of its sixty- three year long existence as an independent country.
