"Absolutely not," he responded, adding that whatever happened today has nothing to do with the institution.
The DG ISPR's comments on the current political situation came after President Arif Alvi approved the dissolution of the National Assembly on Prime Minister Imran Khan's advice.
Before this, the NA deputy speaker ruled to adjourn the session held for voting on the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan, terming it as "unconstitutional."
In a brief address to the nation after the no-confidence motion was rejected, the premier congratulated the nation and said that the nation should prepare for the next elections.
The next elections, under the constitution, will be held within a period of 90 days.
