Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has 'once and for all exposed' the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after the unprecedented press conference held alongside the country's spymaster.
The interior minister made these remarks during an appearance on journalist Saleem Safi's TV show Jirga on Sunday, where he talked about the press conference held by General Babar Iftikhar and General Nadeem Anjum on Thursday.
“The DG ISPR represents his office and it’s designed to respond to baseless or twisted narratives,” said Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah while responding to a question from Saleem Safi.
The senior journalist had opined that the military can come forward for its own defense, but it does so by means of its discipline and arms, maintaining that the army is not supposed to respond [in matters concerning politics].
Sanaullah disagreed, and said, “The DG ISPR constitutionally and legally reserves the right to respond and he should”.
He added that Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar thrice spoke about it [PTI-army disagreement] but it was ambiguous for commoners. Now, Sanaullah maintained, the PTI's 'fraud' is comprehensible for commoners too.
