“News published by Dawn today titled “Pak-Iran Forces jointly conduct border patrolling” is factually incorrect,” a tweet by the Major Gen Asif Ghafoor read.

“There is no joint patrolling anywhere on Pakistani Borders. Patrolling/ operations if required are always on respective sides by respective forces through coordination.”

Soon after Major General Asif Ghafoor’s tweet, the newspaper’s editor also accepted his mistake and said that the newspaper will be making corrections in the story.

“We will be carrying out correction in light of your statement,” the newspaper’s editor Zafar Abbas tweeted while quoting DG ISPR’s statement.
