Democratic process at stake with extension of COAS: Asma

Staff Report

LAHORE: Human rights activist and renowned lawyer, Asma Jahangir, has expressed concerns over the extension in job given to Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani by the government.

In a press statement on Friday, she termed the phenomenon a disappointing measure, saying to her the democratic process in the country is weak. Asma Jahangir further said that “our 63 years of history is evident that every general damaged the democratic process” whenever he was given a promotion or extension in his job.
