Pak Army is aghast at defamatory & uncalled for statement about senior leadership of Pak Army by Chairman PTI: ISPR

RAWALPINDI, Sep 05 (SABAH): The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said that Pakistan Army is aghast at the defamatory and uncalled for statement about the senior leadership of Pakistan Army by Chairman PTI during a political rally at Faisalabad.

According to a statement issued by ISPR on Monday, regrettably, an attempt has been made to discredit and undermine senior leadership of Pakistan at a time when the institution is laying lives for security and safety of the people of Pakistan every day. Senior politicians trying to stir controversies on appointment of chief of army staff of the Pakistan Army, the procedure for which is well defined in constitution, is most unfortunate and disappointing.

The statement further states that the senior leadership of Army had decades long impeccable meritorious service to prove its patriotic and professional credentials beyond any doubt. Politicizing the senior leadership of Pakistan Army and scandalizing the process of selection of COAS is neither in the interest of the state of Pakistan nor of the institution.

Pakistan Army has reiterated its commitment to uphold the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
