‘Undue criticism’: ISPR rejects allegations as uncalled for

Condemning attack on Hamid Mir, ISPR spokesperson says allegations against ISI or its head are without any basis.

ISLAMABAD/ KARACHI:

While condemning the attack on Hamid Mir, a spokesman for the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday said raising undue allegations against the ISI was uncalled for.

“We condemn the attack on Hamid Mir and pray for his well-being and recovery. However, raising allegations against the ISI or the head of ISI is without any basis and is highly regrettable and misleading,” he said.

An independent inquiry must immediately be carried out to ascertain facts, he said.
