| Corps commanders discuss ongoing domestic situation |
| 2008-08-08 |
| The prevailing domestic situation and various operational issues dominated the discussion of the military top brass on the first day of the two-day Corps Commanders Conference on Thursday, defence sources said. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani presided over the conference. The corps commanders and the principal staff officers attended. No statement was issued about the deliberations on the first day. The sources said it was a routine meeting and that the corps commanders had been meeting at the beginning of every month to assess the security situation and the on-going war on terror. But the conference created hype as it coincided with the ruling coalition's announcement that it would impeach President Pervez Musharraf. The conference will continue today (Friday), and discuss the promotion of brigadiers to major generals. The ISPR had said in a statement on Wednesday that 650 brigadiers would be considered in the Selection Board consisting of top military officers, and those meeting the selection criteria would be approved for promotion. |
