Hold it right there!
Had there any self-esteem, Bajwa would have given his resignation by now after such humiliation. I wonder how can extension be more important than one’s respect. #NationRejectsExtension #SupremeCourtOfPakistan

Eventually, earlier this week, COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa’s extension was suspended by the Supreme Court. Behind the immediate decision was Pakistan’s Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa who identified the loopholes in the case. In the hearing session, CJP Khosa reiterated the legal requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to extend COAS’s service tenure.
