Pakistan's powerful army today dismissed "rumours" that it was involved in the political chaos as the country grapples with the ongoing anti-government protests demanding the ouster of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"The army has no connection with the political activity going on in Islamabad," military spokesman Major Asim Saleem Bajwa said, adding that the army had reaffirmed its support to democracy.
Bajwa said the army has nothing to with the current anti-government protests being led by Imran Khan and Tahir-ul Qadri who have been camping in the capital for nearly a month and are demanding Sharif's resignation.
"We regret the rumours that the army scripted the protests," he said.
