The Supreme Court has temporarily suspended the order to extend the tenure of Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa in Pakistan. This order of the Supreme Court is considered unpredictable.
It is also being seen as a setback for Prime Minister Imran Khan. It is believed that Prime Minister Imran Khan and General Qamar Javed Bajwa have very good relations and if the Supreme Court directs the removal of Bajwa then it will be disturbing for them. General Bajwa's term ends on November 29 this month.
In the same case, Pakistan's Law Minister, Farog Naseem, resigned on Tuesday. When the Supreme Court suspended the order to extend the term of General Bajwa, then an emergency meeting of the cabinet was held and it was decided that the Law Minister would resign.
It is being said that the law minister has voluntarily resigned. But it has also come to light that he had not sent an application to extend the tenure of General Bajwa to the President.
Pakistan Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on the resignation of the Law Minister, "The Law Minister has voluntarily resigned. Now he will plead with the government in the matter of extending the tenure of the army chief in the Supreme Court. Prime Minister Imran Khan has accepted the resignation of Farog Naseem.
