‘I did not issue political statements,’ DG ISPR says on NSC comments

‘I did not issue political statements,’ DG ISPR says on NSC comments
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterWhatsapp

DG ISPR reiterates NSC was informed based on intelligence reports.

ISLAMABAD: Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar said Wednesday he “did not issue political statements” when he commented on the outcomes of the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting which reviewed the alleged “threat letter” from the United States.

The DG ISPR, during an interview with a private television channel a day earlier, had said the military leadership was present during the NSC meeting and the participants were briefed.

“[They were] briefed that there was no conspiracy or evidence of any kind [against the then government], nothing like that happened. Participants were told in detail that there was no evidence of any conspiracy,” the DG ISPR had said.

But responding to the military’s spokesperson earlier in the day, PTI General-Secretary Asad Umar said during a press conference that he believes that “it would be better for the army and the country if the ISPR director-general doesn’t find it necessary to interpret political affairs again and again.”

In response, DG ISPR, while talking to another private television channel today, said he did not make any “political statements”, rather it was a clarification, on behalf of the services chiefs of the Pakistan armed forces.

“I am the spokesperson of the services chiefs, if someone speaks something about the services chiefs, then I will have to clarify it — there is nothing political about this,” he said.

The DG ISPR said he, in the previous interview, responded to the claims of ex-interior minister Sheikh Rasheed that “none of the services chiefs in the NSC meeting said that there was a conspiracy”.

“He was in a way trying to convey that he was speaking on their behalf,” the DG ISPR said, stating that he was the spokesperson of the services chiefs.

The NSC, convened to review the alleged threat letter, ruled out a foreign conspiracy behind the ouster of the PTI-led government in a setback to ex-prime minister Imran Khan’s narrative of a “regime change conspiracy”.

In today’s interview, the DG ISPR also said the services chiefs had provided detailed input to the meeting and they had presented information based on intelligence reports, not mere speculation or opinion.

“This cannot be considered as someone’s opinion, it was a proper briefing based on intelligence reports,” Maj Gen Iftikhar said.

‘Complete assistance’

On the demands of the formation of a judicial commission to probe the matter, the DG ISPR said the military was ready to support the investigation in any way possible.

“By all means, judicial commission or whatever forum the government of the day decides […] the institution will provide complete assistance,” the military’s spokesperson said.

The DG ISPR, in response to a question, said it was not for the military to decide which functions should people perform.

PTI’s general secretary, in his presser earlier today, had demanded the formation of a judicial commission on the “foreign conspiracy” allegedly carried out to topple the previous government.
