Is govt mulling over imposing emergency?

ISLAMABAD: It is being mulled at the highest echelon in the government that emergency may be promulgated to overcome any untoward situation arising due to developments regarding the extension in service for Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Well-placed sources told The News/Jang late Tuesday evening that no conclusive decision has been made by the high-ups concerned since most of the senior officials are dissenting with the proposal. 

However, the possibility of imposition of the emergency couldn’t be ruled out outright.

The pro-emergency segment of the leaders was of the view that positive outcome was attained in past through imposition of emergency-plus, and suggested experimenting the same for a short time now since it wouldn’t be harmful. It will also help the government create harmony in society and chaos could be averted that will be helpful in mitigating suffering of the people.
