Western media propagates against Pak Army in BB’s murder: ISPR

ISLAMABAD—Western countries, their media, leaders and secret agencies have started a series of accusations against Pakistan Army that it might be behind the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The Western media in this regard have revealed breathtaking allegations. Defence experts, however have termed these allegations as conspiracy against Pakistan and opined that one can not rule out foreign hands in the tragic incident of Bhutto’s assassination.
Meanwhile, ISPR spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad categorically rejected these accusations against Pakistan army and termed these as “utterly nonsense”. DG ISPR came harsh on the Western media while commenting on the allegations as saying that “few stupid individual within Western media is doing propaganda against the Pakistan Army.” How you could believe on the health of such baseless stories when any body can paste such ridiculous and absurd remarks on websites, he remarked. The Foreign office also strongly reacted to theses allegations that Pakistan troops might have killed Bhutto. A spokesman of the Foreign Office said that the western media has twisted certain remarks. “We reject such ridiculous, absurd and sinister insinuations that reek of animus against Pakistan and an intent to see Pakistan destabilized,” he said.
The Government of Pakistan, he said, is making every effort to comprehensively investigate the dastardly assassination of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Government is committed to a thorough and transparent investigation and will not shy away from receiving assistance from outside, if needed, he added.
Pakistan, the spokesman said, also expect that responsible leaders and public figures in the US would refrain from making statements that are likely to be distorted and misused and could further upset the people who are still in a state of shock because of the national tragedy.—SANA
