Debate on allotment of land to army personnel is detrimental to cohesion: ISPR

RAWALPINDI, Jan 26 (APP): Issue of allotment of agricultural
land to Army officers and soldiers is being debated and conjectured
for last few days.
In this regard it may be known that such allotments are
through constitutional provision, an Inter Services Public
Relations (ISPR) press release issued here Thursday said.
Allotment to former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel
Sharif, is also under same provision and through
government/Army procedures.
This debate with intent of maligning Army also has the potential
to create misunderstandings between state institutions thus
considered detrimental to existing cohesion.
