KARACHI: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday denied reports of friction between civilian and military officials in the country.
In an interview, the prime minister said there is no civil-military friction in the country, however, a difference of opinion could be there.
Referring to a seminar addressed by the COAS, he said the army chief expressed his opinion on the economy, adding, "When everybody can express their views on the economy, then why can't the army chief do so?"
Abbasi, however, said that he always sees the glass "half-filled."
Commenting on Nawaz Sharif's disqualification, the premier said they accepted the decision by the Supreme Court, but the people of Pakistan did not.
