In the light of Pakistan’s current affairs, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s news conference on Youm-e-Istehsal, as the Director-General (DG) of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), was noteworthy. The DG ISPR’s speech was essential and appropriate given the current issues and high feelings in the nation.
Clarifying the military’s position on a number of issues, such as the Counterterrorism Operation, Yom-e-Istehsal Kashmir, the Army’s involvement in socioeconomic development, negotiations with the PTI, the presence of illegal spectrum in the presence of fencing and LEAs, internal accountability within the Army, BYC protests, and the anti-Army campaign in foreign media, was made possible by this opportunity. Additionally, the press conference promoted open communication with the media, which is essential to upholding accountability and openness in matters of national significance.
