The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday night rejected the "baseless and irresponsible" allegations by PTI Chairman Imran Khan against the military.
In a statement, ISPR said that the "baseless and irresponsible allegations by Chairman PTI against the institution and particularly a senior army officer are absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for."
ISPR press release added that "Pakistan army prides itself for being an extremely professional and well disciplined organisation with a robust and highly effective internal accountability system applicable across the board for unlawful acts, if any, committed by uniformed personnel."
"However, if the honour, safety and prestige of its rank and file is being tarnished by vested interests through frivolous allegations, the institution will jealousy safeguard its officers and soldiers no matter what. The baseless allegations hurled at the institution/officials today are highly regrettable and strongly condemned.
No one will be allowed to defame the institution or its soldiers with impunity," the statement added.
ISPR has 'requested' the government of Pakistan "to investigate the matter and initiate legal action against those responsible for defamation and false accusations against the institution and its officials without any evidence whatsoever."
