He made this request in his reaction to Pakistan Army’s spokesperson press conference on Thursday, adding that the DG ISPR endorsed PTI’s stance on the ‘threatening letter’.
Qureshi said the DG ISPR’s presser was balanced in which he cleared many things.
The PTI leader maintained that the DG ISPR supported their position about political interference in regime change in Pakistan.
The appropriate solution to the issue is to form a Supreme Court Judicial Commission, he added.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that a ‘threatening letter’ is a secret document and making it public will expose security code which could expose Pakistan’s secret system.
