The Pakistan Army has strongly reacted on media reports regarding allotment of land to former army chief General (retd) Raheel Sharif.
In a twitter message, GG Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said “Issue of allotment of agricultural land to Army officers and soldiers is being debated and conjectured for last few days. In this regard it may be known that such allotments are through constitutional provision,”
“this debate with intent of maligning army has the potential to create misunderstanding between state institutions”.
The statement said: “Allotment to former COAS General (redt) Raheel Sharif is also under same provision and through government and army procedures,”.
The Pakistan Army said that the debate is detrimental to existing cohesion.
