Islamabad : Mysterious banners in Pakistan with pictures of the Army Chief General Raheel Sharif are once again surfacing in the garrison city of Rawalpindi. But this time the message urges the army general to “participate” in the next general election due in 2018, reports IANS.

The banners in bold English, urge the Army Chief – who is due to retire November 29 – to participate in the next general election in 2018. The text of the posters urges Parliament to amend a law which bars army officials from taking part in political activities for at least two years after retirement, reports the Express News.
