RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army on Wednesday contradicted a news item which it said appeared in a section of media and on social media that Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Zubair Mahmood Hayat met Hussain Nawaz, the son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.


“ The news is absolutely baseless and there is no truth in it,” said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army.

Gen Bajwa became army chief after the retirement of Raheel Sharif on November 29 and was handed over the baton of command at a ceremony in Rawalpindi while Gen Zubair Hayat assumed office as Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee a day earlier.
