Islamabad: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif informed the National Assembly on Monday that the process of making appointments to the top slots of the Pakistan Army had initiated and the General Headquarters (GHQ) Rawalpindi had already been informed about it.
Speaking in a session of the lower house, Asif said his ministry has received the prime minister's letter about initiating the process for the next army chief's appointment.
Furthermore, he said the letter was communicated to the GHQ as well.
Asif said there was a state of "unrest" now that the process for the appointment was initiated.
"It's possible that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or two days later or three days later this whole process will reach its completion and this unrest will subside."
The defence minister criticised the media for contributing to the charged atmosphere by airing news about whether the summary of the army chief candidates was sent or not but not bothering to verify the information.
Asif said the process was being treated as if it was the only issue in the country today and nothing else.
