The government has decided to make public, through a notification to be issued by the interior ministry this week, the ‘operative part’ of the recommendations of an inquiry committee set up following a row about a report published in Dawn in October last year.
The government believes that the notification will put to rest all speculations about a civil-military spat in the wake of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor’s tweet rejecting the government’s notification on the matter.
“The interior ministry will issue a notification about the news leaks this week. This notification will carry the operative part of the recommendations of the committee,” Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah told Dawn on Monday.
“There will not be any confusion or misunderstanding after the interior ministry’s notification. It will also put to rest all speculations about civil-military tension over the issue,” he said, adding that the ISPR DG’s tweet appeared to be based on some misunderstanding created after the directive issued from the Prime Minister’s Office was aired by the media.
