The ex-premier decided to call on the nation to protest against the government in September


Islamabad: Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday rejected to suggest the extension of the tenure of Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa till the next elections.
A day earlier, Khan said during an interview with a private TV channel that he had suggested that the appointment of an army chief should be deferred until the government is elected, which should then choose the new military head.
In an interaction with with journalists, Khan said: "I never talked about the extension of the army chief's tenure, I just proposed to defer the appointment of the army chief till the new elections."
During the meeting, the former premier said that the newly elected government should decide the army chief's selection on merit, adding that he never said who should be the military's head.
"I did not say anything to elicit a statement from Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR)," Khan said, adding that the two families [Sharif and Zardari families] should never select the head of the armed forces."
The former premier decided to call on the nation to protest against the government in September.
-- Deplores govt for raiding Senator Saif's house --
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has brushed aside the proposal of the coalition government to hold off doing politics as the country is reeling from flash floods.
"On the one hand, the imported government is asking the PTI to stop doing politics. On the other hand, they are increasingly harassing us and filing false cases against us," Imran Khan tweeted late Tuesday.
Taking to Twitter, Imran said there would be consequences of marginalising the PTI.
The former premier described the incumbent government's harassment of the PTI, saying that Senator Saifullah Nyazee's house was raided and his phone and computer were taken away.
