The DG ISPR asked political parties and the public not to drag the Pakistan Army into politics.

While reposing a question regarding the United States asking for operational bases in Pakistan  Major Gen Babar Iftikhar said, “The US did not even ask for bases and there was no mention of it on any level.”

DG ISPR rejected British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Urdu report related to the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the events at the PM House.

The ISPR director general further revealed that the former prime minister had approached the COAS Bajwa to mediate and help find a solution to the political crisis.
