COAS’s in-camera briefing: Action ready against senators for leaking contents

ISLAMABAD: All is set to proceed against the senators who disclosed the contents of an in-camera briefing given by Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa to the Senate Committee of the Whole recently.

The Senate Secretariat has received the video recording of the private channels through the Pemra and other departments for identification of the senators.

Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani had passed a ruling during the current session that the senators who tarnished the image of the House would be proceeded against.

According to sources, Rabbani wanted to present this issue before the Business Consultative Committee of the House so as to stall the recurrence of any such incident in the future but the government suddenly deferred the session. However, there are several options available with the chairman.

The responsible senators can face suspension of one or more than one day besides withdrawal of perks and privileges.
