Jang group-owned Geo TV network has apologized to Pakistan Army, the powerful spy agency ISI and its chief for leveling allegations against them over an assassination bid on leading anchor Hamid Mir.
In a published apology on Monday in English daily 'The News' and Urdu newspaper 'Jang', the media group clarified that they were respectful of Pakistani forces and its leadership.
The group apologized to the ISI, its chief Lt Gen Zaheerul Islam, his family, Pakistan Army and large number of television viewers for causing "deep hurt", Dawn News reported.
The Jang Group clarified that the allegations were not hurled by the institution but by Mir himself and later repeated by his brother soon after the attempt on his life in Karachi.
Mir, who works for Geo TV, had said last month that he faced threats from both non-state and state actors including the ISI.
