The Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (PILDAT) has issued a report detailing its assessment of the recently-concluded general election, expressing deep concerns over a decline in fairness scores compared to previous election cycles.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Major General Babar Iftikhar on Tuesday said the military has requested the government to conduct a “high-level investigation” into the killing of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya.
The DG ISPR made these remarks in an interview with 24 News when he was asked to comment on the allegations being made against the institutions regarding Sharif’s death.
“We have requested the government to hold a high-level investigation so that all these speculations can put to rest,” he said.
“It is very unfortunate that people indulge in allegations […] and I think a thorough investigation needs to be conducted to tackle these things. I believe that the probe should not just be these things, but also on why Arshad Sharif had to leave Pakistan,” the DG ISPR said.
