DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor asked JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to clarify which institution he was talking about in his 'Azadi March' speech, on Friday.
Talking to a private news channel, the DG ISPR said that Maulana Fazl should take his grievances to the concerned institutions.
"Maulana Fazlur Rehman is a senior politician, he knows what he's saying," said the DG ISPR. He asked: "Fazl should reveal which institution he was referring to - was it the armed forces, or the election commission or the judiciary?"
The DG ISPR said that Pakistan Army's support was with an elected government and not with any political party. He said that Pakistan Army had fulfilled its legal and constitutional responsibilities in the 2018 general elections.
"It has been a year since elections were held but it is still his constitutional right to take his grievances with the relevant institution," he said.
The DG ISPR said that Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad was being carried out across the country so that lasting peace could be established.
"Pakistan Army is an impartial institution," he said.
DG ISPR said that levelling allegations and taking to the streets won't solve problems," he said.
He said that even at this time, there was tension across the Line of Control (LoC) with India. He said that the armed forces had rendered sacrifices to achieve peace in the country.
"The brave tribal people and the nation spent the last two decades in difficulty," he said.
