The army is subservient to the government: It does not need to get involved in politics, nor should it be dragged into it , Director-General Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Babar said Monday.
During a Q&A session with participants of a wide-ranging briefing to the press, the DG ISPR said that there has been no backdoor contact with Opposition parties as is being speculated in the media. Absolutely not, he said.
