Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa will take
the Senate's Committee of the Whole into confidence on the security
situation on Tuesday, a notification issued by the Senate Secretariat
said on Sunday.
Gen Bajwa will brief the entire house —
acting as a committee — in-camera at 10am on December 19 on "the
emerging national security paradigm for Pakistan with respect to recent
visits/developments".
Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza will accompany the COAS in the briefing.
The
committee was constituted on the motion "to prepare policy guidelines
in the light of emerging regional realities and the role of United
States".
Earlier on Friday, expressing concerns over the
terms of reference (ToRs) of the Saudi-led Islamic Military Counter
Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) being kept secret, senators had demanded that parliament be apprised of the particulars of the military alliance.
