Some ministers, including Qureshi, believe that the government should get a constitutional amendment passed to avoid any embarrassing situation,” the source said. The source said that the prime minister was yet to make a decision whether to go for amending the law or amending the constitution. The PM is consulting with his legal advisers and soon he would take a final decision, the source added. According to sources in the former ruling party, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif plans to put forth some conditions for any support for the government bill for the extension in services of the army chief. Shehbaz Sharif has directed the party leadership to send him a copy of the detailed judgement of the Supreme Court’s (SC) order as soon it is released.
