COAS, CJ statements signal grave danger: Beg

ISLAMABAD: Former chief of army staff Gen (Retd), Mirza Aslam Beg on Wednesday warned that the statements of the Army Chief and Chief Justice harbinger a grave danger (for the country).

"General Kayani's statement clearly warns the Parliament to perform its immediate role to avoid a roll-back of the political setting," said Gen (Retd) Aslam Beg in an exclusive interview on Geo's program 'Jirga' hosted by Saleem Safi.

He said the misunderstanding between Pakistan Army and Supreme Court is indicative of a dangerous situation. "Whatever we did in the past five years will turn to dust," he warned.

Gen Beg said that General Tikka Khan did not execute a coup nor will General Kayani take such a step. "Someone else will indulge in this action. Go through General Kayani's statement closely which conveys this message," he added.
