AN error crept into a Dawn story titled “Nisar rules out in-house change, forward bloc” that was published in its Friday edition. The paragraph should read as follows: “He also termed as mere conjecture the assertion by an analyst that the prime minister was not willing to extend the term of the army chief but he [Nisar] and the Punjab chief minister were not only in favour of the idea, but were working for it.”

The error is regretted.
