ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani is furious with the Prime Minister for statement scriticising the army and they should be either clarified or withdrawn, a senior military source told Reuters on Saturday, piling pressure on the premier.
"The Army Chief complained to the president about the prime minister's statements, and said they needed to be either clarified or withdrawn," the source told the news agency.
"He said such statements were divisive and made the country more vulnerable."
The Army Chief said 'divisive statements' from Prime Minister hurt Pakistan, the news agency quoted the sources as saying.
However, the President's spokesman Farhatullah Babar said the "current security situation came under discussion" during the meeting. (Reuters/AFP)
