In a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Pakistan Army, it has been said that the unfortunate and sad trend of baseless allegations of targeting personnel of military and intelligence agencies for political gain has been an unfortunate and sad trend in the last one year.
ISPR نے حیران کن پریس ریلیز جاری کی ہے، اگر عمران خان سمجھتے ہیں کہ ان پر قاتلانہ حملہ میں کوئ آفیسر ملوث ہیں تو آزادانہ اور شفاف گتحقیقات کے ذریعے ان کو مطمئن کیا جانا چاہئے کہ ایسا نہیں ہے، لیکن الزام کی تحقیقات سے انکار اور ایسی پریس ریلیز سے آپ بتا رہے ہیں کہ پاکستان میں آپ…

DG ISPR has said in his statement that “it has been 13 years that military and intelligence officers are being targeted, the concerned political leaders should take legal route instead of false allegations.” Sensational propaganda based on lies is being spread for a deliberate strategy and political gain.
In its statement, the Pakistan Army spokesperson added that as a military institution, while expressing its deep concern over these baseless allegations, it reserves the right to take legal action against such statements and propaganda. , which are clearly driven by false and malicious motives.
Totally agree with ISPR that a legal recourse should be taken to resolve the allegations . Imran khan has tried to do that by filing an FIR and approaching the supreme court. The institution supporting that legal recourse would be a very positive step forward #BehindYouSkipper

In one of his Twitter statements, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry expressed his concern and wrote that “ISPR has issued a shocking press release. If Imran Khan thinks that any officer is involved in the murderous attack on him, then freely and transparently.” Through investigation, they should be satisfied that this is not the case, but by refusing to investigate the allegation and by such a press release, you are showing that you are above the law in Pakistan. Such behavior is destructive for nations.”
Reacting to DG ISPR’s press release, PTI Secretary General Asad Umar has said that “he fully agrees with ISPR’s statement, legal route should be taken to resolve the allegations.”

Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Asad Umar further wrote that “Imran Khan tried to approach the Supreme Court to file an FIR, this will be a positive step for the institution that supports this legal path.”
On the other hand, last night in ARY’s program “Khabar Mehr Bukhari Saath”, former Punjab Chief Minister and PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said that “I advised him when Imran Khan was attacked.” That you cannot file an FIR against a judge, nor can you file an FIR against the army or an army institution, because it will bring the institutions into disrepute.”
Analysts say that Imran Khan should first consult his colleagues about what strategy he should set because the PTI president is saying something while the secretary general and the senior vice president have different positions.
