Corps commanders meeting begins on Gen Raheel’s call

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army corps commanders meeting is underway at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi with Army Chief General Raheel Sharif.

Sources told Dawn.com that the corps commanders’ emergency meeting will discuss the ongoing political impasse in the country which is posing a threat to the security of the country.

Army Chief General Raheel took the commanders into confidence over his meetings with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PTI Chief Imran Khan and PAT Chief Tahirul Qadri last week.

The meeting will also discuss the deteriorating security along with LOC and working boundary.

Earlier, the meeting was scheduled to be held on Monday morning but the time was changed after the army chief held consultations with the senior military commanders.

An ISPR spokesman had earlier said that the meeting chaired by General Raheel will discuss matters relating to the internal security situation.

Highly-placed sources told Dawn that the conference would also evolve its strategy to end the prevailing impasse.

The situation in Islamabad took on critical proportions after the clashes began late on Saturday and led to at least three reported deaths and countless injuries.

The meeting of the army commanders can have a serious bearing on the prevailing scenario, especially with the fact that the military had engaged in ‘mediating’ the crisis between the government and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).
