In a statement issued Monday, the ISPR has rejected the assertions that the military and ISI were backing the protesters.
The press release states: "ISPR has categorically rejected the assertions that Army and ISI were backing PTI/PAT in anyway in the current political standoff. Army is an apolitical institution and has expressed its unequivocal support for democracy at numerous occasions. It is unfortunate that Army is dragged into such controversies."
"Integrity and unity of the army is its strength which it upholds with pride."
