Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Sunday dismissed speculation about a notification for the appointment of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), saying the announcement will be made in due time.
The government introduced the CDF post through the 27th Constitutional Amendment earlier this month.
“There is unnecessary and irresponsible speculation about CDF notification. Please be informed that the process has been initiated,” Asif wrote in a post on X.
The defence minister said a notification in this regard would be issued in due course, emphasising that there was “no room for conjecture”.
