NEW DELHI: Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan often considered to be a puppet of the Army is coming under immense pressure from his brother Nawaz Sharif, the founder of the PML-N.

Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister of Pakistan and his daughter Mariyam Sharif are unhappy with the concessions that Shehbaz has been giving the Army.

Indian officials say that Nawaz feels that his brother is allowing Field Marshal Asim Munir too many liberties and wants him to step in where appointments to key posts are concerned.

The Prime Minister would be landing in Islamabad on Wednesday to finalise the notification relating to the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF).
