In an important statement on the nefarious campaign against Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the ISPR has deplored that a misleading data regarding the assets of the chief of army staff and his family have been shared on social media, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
The media wing of the military said on Sunday that these misleading figures are exaggerated based on assumptions.
The ISPR said that a certain group has cleverly and dishonestly attributed the assets of General Bajwa's daughter-in-law's father and family to the army chief and his family. A completely wrong impression is being created that these assets were accumulated by the family of his daughter-in-law’s father during the six-year tenure of Army Chief General Bajwa.
The claim is totally against the facts and is based on blatant lie and dishonesty, the ISPR said adding that all assets of Army Chief General Bajwa, his wife and family are regularly declared in the FBR.
The army chief and his family regularly file their tax returns, the ISPR said adding that like every citizen, the army chief and his family are accountable to the tax authorities regarding their assets.
