F.P. Report
RAWALPINDI: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Monday brushed aside the allegations levelled by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan against a senior military officer without any evidence.
The PTI chairman had levelled highly irresponsible and baseless allegations against a serving senior military officer without any evidence, an ISPR press release said.
“These fabricated and malicious allegations are extremely unfortunate, deplorable and unacceptable. This has been a consistent pattern for the last one year wherein military and intelligence agencies officials are targeted with insinuations and sensational propaganda for the furtherance of political objectives.
“We ask the political leader concerned to make a recourse to legal avenues and stop making false allegations. The institution reserves the right to take legal course of action against patently false and mala fide statements and propaganda,” the ISPR said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Secretary-General Asad Umar on Monday concurred with the military’s statement asking PTI chief Imran Khan to take legal recourse instead of levelling “baseless allegations” against the senior military official.
His statement came hours after the army came down hard on the former prime minister for his “irresponsible and fabricated allegations” against a senior serving military officer. “[The] chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has levelled highly irresponsible and baseless allegations against a serving senior military officer without any evidence,” Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said in a statement, as Khan continues his tirade against the establishment.
