The Pakistan Army on Wednesday "withdrew" a tweet by Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor which "rejected" the Prime Minister Office's directives about the Dawn story inquiry.

"The tweet on 29 April 2017 was not aimed at any government office or person," said an ISPR press release on Wednesday.

The ISPR said: "Recommendations, as contained in Para 18 of the Inquiry Committee Report, duly approved by the prime minister, have been implemented, which has settled the Dawn leaks issue."

"Accordingly, ISPR's said Twitter post stands withdrawn and has become infructuous.
