Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) head and former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that the army chief is the guarantor of national security, hence his appointment should not be made controversial.
“The spirit of tolerance and tolerance is weakening in the country as most politicians have engaged in politics of accusation,” the PML-Q chief said in a statement on Tuesday.
Chaudhry Shujaat said that the army and the judiciary are the important national institutions and added that the army chief is the guarantor of the security of Pakistan.
“After becoming the army chief, he [COAS] is not the protector of any family, tribe or region but the entire country,” he added.
