COAS calls Corps Commanders meeting today to discuss IOK situation
RAWALPINDI: In a follow up to Indian government’s decision to strip held Kashmir of its special status through a rushed presidential decree a day earlier, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has called a Corps Commanders Conference today to discuss the aftermath of what Pakistan has dubbed as an “illegitimate move”.
The top military brass will meet at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi to discuss the Indian move to revoke Article 370 and its impact in occupied Kashmir as well as the situation along the Line of Control (LoC).
The Indian government rushed through a presidential decree on Monday to abolish Article 370, which revoked the special status granted to occupied Kashmir and made the state a Union Territory with the legislature.
The announcement sparked chaotic scenes in the Indian parliament, with opposition politicians shouting protests, and the Congress describing the decision as a “catastrophic step”.
