Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has rebuffed widespread speculation regarding the delay in issuance of the notification of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), a top military post created under the recently passed 27th Constitutional Amendment — saying that creation of a new system cannot be done simply by “pressing a button”. “[…] let these people speculate for a few [more] days. Changes have been made to the Constitution, and a new institution is being established. They [rumour mongers] believe such things can be done simply by pressing a button. When a new system is established, it takes time,” the security czar said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Monday.
