Islamabad: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that matter of next Army Chief’s appointment would be settled in a ‘day or two’. Sanaullah said, “I believe prime minister has completed this process (of consultation about army chief appointment) and will bring it to paper today or tomorrow or next two days, it takes no time.”

Upon further questioning, interior minister seemingly reproached interviewer and said, “I will also request you that this is matter of a day or two so don’t ask questions which can lead to unnecessary speculation,” adding that in his opinion there “is not a lot of time left to this decision and it will come before you”.

Sanaullah said that a further delay in matter would not be “appropriate” and next Army Chief would be appointed in next two days.

He alleged that purpose of PTI’s march to Islamabad was Army Chief’s appointment, rather than snap elections. “Long march is not really present anywhere  it’s only on media,” he added.
