Islamabad: 11 FEBRUARY 2021: Military spokesman Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar, in comments on various private TV channels, said: “Army does not need backdoor contacts with anyone and is doing its job. And it is better not to drag the military in this political squabble.PDM a 10 party alliance is planning to start a long march from 25 March to dislodge the present party from a high position.

A lot of focus in the political arena is, meanwhile, also on the upcoming Senate elections and the mode of voting for the polls. Major General Iftikhar challenged those who spread rumors to bring forth the evidence about whom the backdoor talks are continued.

The ISPR chief, while responding to a question, rejected as “false and fake” reports that Iran had conducted an intelligence operation in Pakistani territory to free its soldiers abducted in October 2018.

The ‘fake news’ about the alleged Iranian operation began circulating after Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed to have freed two guards from the captivity of terrorist group Jaishul Adl through a “successful operation” in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
