LAHORE – The Pakistan Army on Thursday rejected the Hindustan Times report saying that Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa contacted his Indian counterpart to initiate bilateral talks between the neighbouring countries.
Hindustan Times reports that COAS had approached Indian COAS for talks & that both had served together in Congo. Story is factually incorrect. COAS has neither approached Indian COAS nor has served with him in Congo. Decision for talks is prerogative of both the govts.@htTweets
