The defence minister's tweet comes almost an hour after the ISPR said Tuesday night that it had forwarded the summary to his ministry.

"GHQ has forwarded the summary for selection of CJCSC and COAS, containing names of six senior-most lieutenant general gens to Ministry of Defence," tweeted director general of the military's media wing Lieutenant General Babar Iftikhar.
