The landmark 18th amendment that has lent greater autonomy to the provinces was passed unanimously by parliament with all major political parties on board. “Every army chief has their own perspective and General Bajwa’s is to promote peace which existed in the past. That is what the Bajwa doctrine is,” Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor said while addressing a press conference. “There was a lot of talk about the 18th Amendment,” he said.
