Express December 23, 2010

Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on Thursday said that no one can force the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to appear before a United States (US) court.

Speaking at the National Assembly session, Gilani asserted that the government will take all the parties into confidence regarding its policy on the ISI.

The prime minister also said that foreign involvement is responsible for the unrest in Balochistan.

He also stressed that the parliament will decide if a military operation should be held in any part of the country and will not obey foreign dictates.

GGD | 13 years ago | Reply @Tony Singh.....lol @Akram.....I agree, the ISI if anything, is veyr incompetent. They have clearly failed at their job which is to protect national interests & safeguard the country. If there's anything to prove them incompetent, it would be the fact that they cant even hide the terror activities they export allegedly to our neighbour countries. And also, till this day, there has not been a SHRED of evidence given by authorities on foreign involvement in Balochistan. Talk about credibiility and competency - the ISI fails. I think there should be a complete revamp of our intellignce agency. In fact it would be better if the ISI is just terminated forever. We are better off without one.
