Rawalpindi (Web Desk): Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor has rejected Indian COAS’ statement claiming destruction of 3 alleged camps in AJK.
“Indian COAS’ statement claiming destruction of 3 alleged camps in AJK is disappointing as he holds a very responsible appointment. There are no camps let alone targeting those. Indian Embassy in Pakistan is welcome to take any foreign diplomat / media to ‘prove’ it on ground,” Asif Ghafoor said in a series of tweets.
