Pakistani Army's spokesperson, DG ISPR, winked at a woman journalist during a press briefing. The shameful act of DG ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry went viral on social media.
Several people have condemned the act of Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, who is also a senior officer of the Pakistani Army. He heads Pakistan's propaganda wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). He can often be seen spewing venom against India.
DG ISPR faces heat
In the viral clip, a Pakistani woman journalist questioned Chaudhry about jailed Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. She asked, "Strong words are being used against Imran Khan that he is a threat to national security, is anti-national, and is acting on the behest of Delhi. How is this different from before, or should we expect any development in the future?"
While replying to the question, the DG ISPR winked at the journalist and said: "And add a fourth point: he is a mental patient as well."
Users condemned his shameful act
Users criticised the DG ISPR, stating that this is a "new low" for Lt, General Chaudhry.
A user posted on social media, "Ahmed (Not) Sharif Chaudhry."
While another user wrote, "The DG answered a woman journalist's question with a wink? This is the funeral of professionalism. Were you holding a press conference or indulging in cheap, tacky flirting?"
