Dawn in a front page article on October 6 reported citing sources that the civilian government has informed the military leadership of a growing international isolation of Pakistan due to alleged support for militancy.
Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif on Monday called on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at PM House in the presence of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan, CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif and DG ISI Lieutenant General Rizwan Akhtar.
According to an official statement, matters pertaining to national and regional security and the publication of news story last week in Dawn newspaper was also discussed during the meeting.
“The participants were unanimous that the published story was clearly violative of universally acknowledged principles of reporting on national security issues and has risked the vital state interests through inclusion of inaccurate and misleading contents which had no relevance to actual discussion and facts.”
“Prime Minister took serious notice of the violation and directed that those responsible should be identified for stern action,” according to the statement.
Earlier, the Pakistan Foreign Office had vehemently rejected the report and termed it as “speculative”.
