However, Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif denied that Prime Minister's Office has received a summary for army chief's appointment from the GHQ.

وزیراعظم کو ابھی سمری موصول نہیں ھوئ.. انشاءاللہ
سمری کی PMO میں وصولی کنفرم وقت پہ کی جاۓ گی..

Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb too denied the Prime Minister's Office has received a summary for army chief's appointment so far.

وزیر دفاع خواجہ آصف سے منسوب بیان درست نہیں
آرمی چیف کی تعیناتی سے متعلق سمری تاحال وزیراعظم ہاؤس میں موصول نہیں ہوئی، قیاس آرائیاں نہ کی جائیں
سمری موصول ہونے پر اطلاع دے دی جائے گی
