That army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has always led from the front is a fact that has found its best expression from his remarks that he made in relation to a voluntary cut in defence budget.

The PTI government must curtail its expenditures in a meaningful manner. This situation underscores the need for greater appreciation of current difficult economic conditions.
