- ThePM had earlier summoned an emergency federal cabinet meeting to discuss the amendment act.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government approved on Wednesday the amendment in the Pakistan Army Act 1952 for extension in the service of army chief.
In an emergency meeting of the federal cabinet summoned by Prime Minister Imran Khan today, the cabinet approved the amendment. The Supreme Court (SC) had given the government six months time to legislate to determine tenure and other terms and conditions of army chief.
The new bill will now be presented before the Parliament in order to come into effect.
The SC on November 28 allowed extension of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa's tenure for six months.
