Top Story January 12, 2021 RAWALPINDI: Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar Monday said the military was subordinate to the government and was totally apolitical having absolutely no backdoor contact with the opposition parties as was being speculated in the media. Addressing a press conference here, General Babar said neither the military needed to indulge in politics nor should any attempt be made to drag it into politics. “Such allegations without any facts and which carry no weight should not be responded to,” he said. Responding to another question, he said the PDM leaders would be offered tea and water (Chai and Pani) if they marched towards Rawalpindi. The questioner wanted the military’s reaction to a statement of the PDM head Fazlur Rehman in which he threatened to march towards Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
