ISLAMABAD – President Arif Alvi’s claims that his “will and command” was disregarded by the staff in relation to the laws relating to the Official Secrets Act and Pakistan Army Act were refuted on Monday by Waqar Ahmad, the president’s secretary.

According to the secretary’s official statement, President Dr. Arif Alvi did not sign the Official Secrets (Amendment) Bill, 2023, or the Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill, 2023, nor did he make a formal decision to send them back to the legislature for further consideration.
