Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s military which is at loggerheads with the PPP government over memogate issue has said that telephonic conversation between President Asif Ali Zardari and Chief of Army Staff on December 16 was coincidence which lasted for only one minute, said a statement issued here on Monday.According to the statement some events of the last 72 hours were being wrongly attributed to the telephonic conversation between the president and the army chief.
It noted that the prime minister had already spoken on the subject, saying during the meeting with COAS on Friday night he received a telephonic call from the president by chance,when i informed the president that i was having a meeting with the army Chief, the president asked me to convey his regards to General Kayani, On this, COAS showed his desire to speak to the President,”.
The telephonic conversation between the President and COAS lasted approximately one minute in which he inquired about the health of the president. Hence, attributing anything more to this telephonic conversation is unfounded and unnecessary.
“As regards the meeting between the COAS and Prime Minister, a comprehensive press release has already been issued by the PM House which is unambiguous,” the statement added.
