ISPR statement issued after govt approval: Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Friday that the ISPR statement was released after consultation with him and was approved by the government.

“The statement came to me first and it was shown to the prime minister who approved it,” Nisar told reporters.

The interior minister held a news conference after the ISPR released a statement saying that COAS had been asked by the government to play facilitative role for resolution of current impasse.

Nisar said the ISPR used the word ‘facilitative’ which is in the circle of the constitution. He said the military’s statement reflects the stance of the government.

The interior minister made it clear that the government did not make anyone ‘mediator and guarantor’, adding those who use army for their political gains created the misunderstanding.
