Pak army's reaction over Imran Khan’s controversial remarks
"Pakistan Army is committed to the supremacy of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan"
Rawalpindi: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Monday expressed displeasure over the controversial statement by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying that the attempt to make the senior leadership of the Pakistan Army controversial is regrettable.
In a statement, the ISPR said that the attempt to make the senior leadership of the Pakistan Army controversial at a critical time is very regrettable. "Pakistan Army is sacrificing lives every day for the security and safety of the nation," it said.
At his rally in Faisalabad on Sunday, the former prime minister alleged that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari wanted to appoint the army chief of their choice because if a "strong and patriotic army chief" came, they would be questioned about their loot.
The statement further said there is deep anger in the Pakistan Army over the defamatory and extremely unnecessary statement. The attempt to make the senior leadership of the Pakistan Army controversial at a critical time is very sad.
"It is neither in the interest of Pakistan nor in the interest of the Pakistan Army to make the method of appointment of the Army Chief controversial, adding that the Pakistan Army is committed to the supremacy of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan," the ISPR added.
