The Director General of the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant-General Zaheerul Islam met Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday to discuss the missing persons case after the Supreme Court intensified pressure on defence authorites.
The meeting between the premier and ISI director general was not declared by the PM office officially, but sources informed The Express Tribune that the issue of missing persons and security situation dominated the discussion.
The ISI head briefed the prime minister about the missing persons issue, which is causing the SC to exert immense pressure on the Nawaz government.
During the meeting, the ISI director-general told the premier that security agencies never victimised any person and moreover investigated all those who have been found in ‘mischievous activities’ against the state across the country. He also said that action takes place only after detailed surveillance.
The premier was quoted by sources as saying that the government will take every possible measure to satisfy the SC to avoid any confrontation and that the missing persons case will also be dealt in accordance with the same strategy.
Earlier in the day, the new Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Rashid Mahmood held his first meeting with Nawaz.

@karachite. You better wake up from the sleeping disorder that engulfed you by ptv fed state Run media prOpaganda.... Mqm is not a party of angles-but it's the better woRse that we can have. YouR isi-your army abduct and kill people. No matter what you think of m mqm - your govt is your enemy no 1.
@Ch. Allah Daad: @Fawad: Thanks for telling the truth. It is about time that elected leaders take full control of the country and do not let any secret organization to run it like a Don. In the richest and most powerful country like USA nobody knows the name of army chief or SC CJ. As they are only public servants working under the law and elected govt. They have no imp on people's lives and no VIP status. Regards, M
A perfect state within a state!!!!!
@Uza Syed: you better concentrate on what is happening around in London where 2 MQM men have been arrested lately and Altaf bhai called an emergency meeting with his comrades!
Who is the boss?
"He also said that action takes place only after detailed surveillance." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Does that apply to Dr Haqqani as well?
A parallel government is being run here by the Army.
"During the meeting, the ISI director-general told the premier that security agencies never victimised any person (thank you) and moreover investigated all those who have been found in ‘mischievous activities’ against the state across the country.(wonderful, somebody is doing his duty, we are proud of you) He also said that action takes place only after detailed surveillance." ( If action means that you disappear them without any lawful authority, then you commit a crime)
Let's see blinks now, the Supreme Court or the Army or the Prime Minister and his government. To me it seems like the disgruntled but determined CJ to take PM with him, no?
