Pakistan Army on Thursday said the debate on allotment of agricultural land to former Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif (retd) has 'potential to create misunderstandings between state institutions'. "This debate with intent of maligning army also has the potential to create misunderstandings between state institutions thus considered detrimental to existing cohesion," Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.
The ISPR clarified that allotment of agricultural land to army officers and soldiers is made through a constitutional provision. "Allotment to former CoAS General Raheel Sharif (retd) is also under same provision and through government/army procedures," the statement added.
