The military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), dismissed the claims on social media related to the assets of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his family.
In a statement, ISPR termed it “totally untrue and based on blatant lies.”
The claims were made in relation to the fact that General Qamar Javed Bajwa is the current Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
“Misleading data regarding the assets of army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his family have been shared on social media. These misleading figures are exaggerated and based on assumption,” said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“An incorrect impression is being created that these assets were created by army chief General Bajwa’s family during his six-year tenure. It is totally untrue, based on blatant lies and malice,” said the ISPR
The ISPR has assured the public that the outgoing COAS, his wife, and their family have disclosed their full financial holdings to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
“Army chief and his family regularly file a tax return. Like every citizen, the army chief and his family are accountable to the tax authorities for their assets,” said the ISPR.
