Court asks army to probe into Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa's name being used in conten­tious agreem­entISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday declared that the Faizabad protesters committed blasphemy and the state surrendered before them. IHC judge Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui while hearing a case regarding the sit-in protest observed that each section of the agreement between the Faizabad protesters and the state was unconstitutional. The IHC bench, on Monday, said the court expected the Army to probe into Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s name being used in the agreement. The government authorities including the mediator (army chief) should deliberate on the agreement, recommended the IHC bench. He also informed the court that the matter was also sub judice in the Supreme Court and, therefore, the IHC should wait for the outcome of its proceedings.
