DG ISPR to discuss country’s security situation today in presser

Inter-Services Public Relations Director General (DG ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry will address a news conference today at 3pm.

The press conference to be held at the General Headquarters will deliberate upon the security situation of the country.

He added that the army is standing up against terrorists and digital terrorists, saying the time has come for the entire nation to stand up against them.

The DG ISPR further said that unfortunately serious issues were also being politicised in Pakistan, presenting Azm-e-Istehkam as an example.

He said that the Azm-e-Istehkam is a comprehensive and integrated counter-terrorism campaign, not a military operation.

The ISPR presser is being held two days after a security convoy of judges was attacked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Last month, former prime minister Imran Khan has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was ready to hold talks with the military.

“We are ready to hold talks with the military. The army should nominate their representative for negotiations,” he said.

If any PTI worker was found guilty in the May 9, riots then the authorities should penalise the individual, he added.

Khan reiterated that the incumbent government wanted to destroy his party by creating a wedge between PTI party and the armed forces.

Imran Khan said that he would never hold talks with Naqvi as he along with the Punjab Inspector General (IG) “oppressed” his party.

The deposed prime minister further alleged that he was “abducted from judicial complex” and “it was declared legal by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq”.

He demanded the IHC CJ to recuse himself from his cases.
