PTI Chairman Imran Khan responded to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Major General Babar Iftikhar for the military media wing’s statement after the PTI chief had accused three people, including a military official, of planning to assassinate him.

“I was surprised that DG ISPR gave that statement that because Imran Khan accused one army officer then all army is being maligned. I’m surprised DG sahab, have you paid attention to what you’re saying?”

Imran said that construing his criticism of one army officer to the whole institution was akin to saying that calling out one judge or corrupt PTI worker meant blaming the whole judiciary or party.

The former prime minister questioned the “logic” of the DG ISPR’s reasoning, asking why were court martials held if army officers were considered infallible.
