Responding to the press conference of DG ISPR, senior analyst Arshad Sharif shared the news of US request for military bases.
In his statement on microblogging website Twitter, Arshad Sharif shared news clippings from Pakistani and American news agencies broadcast after the CIA chief's meeting with the army chief and DG ISI on June 7 and 8, 2021.
Sharing the news, Arshad Sharif said that Dawn and New York Times published the news on June 7 and 8 that the CIA chief had requested military bases in a meeting with Pakistan's military leadership.
Arshad Sharif said that however, the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan on June 19 refused to give bases in front of the world in clear words "Absolutely Not".
It may be recalled that the Director General of Public Relations of the Pakistan Army, Major Babar Iftikhar, in a media briefing refuted the claim of the Imran Khan government that Imran Khan had refused to provide military bases to the United States.
