... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI...
on Tuesday said Pakistain Army had no objection over government having dialogues with the Taliban, DawnNews reported.

Briefing the parliamentary defence committees at GHQ Rawalpindi, Gen Kayani said he had no intentions of sending the troops to North Wazoo prior to government's orders.

Gen Kayani further said he informed the US that Pakistain did not require any military aid of any kind and that there would be no compromise on national illusory sovereignty in bilateral ties of the two countries.

He mentioned that the defence budget was decreasing every year due to inflation and the Army had received only $ 0.2 billion of agreed $ 6 billion from the US.

The Army chief further said that the police and civil intelligence agencies were responsible for internal affairs of the country rather than the Army. "Army is not the solution of every problem," he added.
