Farogh Naseem urged the media to play a constructive role instead of spreading fake news vis a vis General Bajwa’s extension and not let the enemy do propaganda on the issue.
The Supreme Court had delicately handled the case and guided the government to legalize the re-appointment of COAS, he added.
