President Arif Alvi has said that he will follow through on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's advice regarding the appointment of the next army chief.
In a conversation with his aides about the appointment of the new chief of army staff (COAS), the president said that he could not create hurdles in the much-anticipated process.
"I do not have the legal authority to stop the prime minister's advice; I have never interfered in the affairs of the state," President Alvi — a leader of the PTI — stressed.
