ISLAMABAD: The country’s military leadership will be giving a briefing to three parliamentary committees on Monday (today) at the General Headquarters (GHQ) on internal and external security, including Kashmir.
The committees which will visit the GHQ are Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Senate Standing Committee on Defence and National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence.
It is the first security briefing being given by the military authorities to parliamentarians since the Taliban took over Afghanistan and the deadly terrorist attacks carried out by the so-called Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP) in the neighbouring country.
Besides Afghanistan, the parliamentarians will also be briefed on the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources told Dawn that the parliamentarians were expected to spend five to six hours in the GHQ during which they would also have a two-hour “interactive session” with Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa.
