'There is no question of a martial law in Pakistan', Maj-Gen Sharif said in a statement on Friday evening.
He added that COAS and the entire army leadership believe in democracy and will continue to extend support to it.
The DG further said that internal and external propaganda against military will fail, and the plan to create divisions in the army will never see the light of day.
Pakistan Army, he maintained, is united under the Chief of the Army Staff Gen Asim Munir.
Maj-Gen Sharif dispelled the notion that any army officer had violated an order or resigned from their post, in an apparent reference to the rumour of the Corps Commander Lahore's resignation.
The statement comes amid rumours of an emergency rule or a martial law as the prevailing political crisis rises to new heights.
It was reported earlier today that the federal cabinet is contemplating the use of the 'ultimate weapon' of an emergency rule amidst an escalating confrontation.
The members of the ruling clique, in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, deliberated upon the current unrest in the country, and came up with different proposals, including imposition of an emergency rule.
Most of the allied political parties were not in favour of using the option at this political juncture, during the meeting, sources privy to a meeting shared with The Friday Times.
The said option came under discussion but it was not decided to implement it forthwith, according to a cabinet member desiring not to be named.
Some of the members also proposed a ban on the Imran Khan-led PTI but this suggestion was not given much weightage by most of the participants, the member continued.
It may be noted here that Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, in his press conference a day earlier (Thursday) remarked that emergency is a constitutional option, but that a martial law wasn’t a possibility.
