Islamabad, Nov 27 (TIWN) Soon after the Pakistan Supreme Court On Tuesday suspended the notification extending the term of Army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan lashed out at Law Minister Farogh Naseem during a cabinet meeting.

The ruling comes as a blow to Prime Minister Imran Khan, who had said earlier this year that he needed General Qamar Javed Bajwa to stay on, citing continuing tension with neighbouring India over the disputed territory of Kashmir.  Bajwa was handed a three-year extension on August 19.  Pakistan suspended trade and downgraded diplomatic ties with India following New Delhi's decision to strip Kashmir of its special status on August 5. The two countries have fought two of their three wars over the Muslim-majority region, which both countries partially control but claim in its entirety.
