Rawalpindi - 21st December 2011

An article was published in the daily, Independent, UK on 13 December 2011, in which Mr Omar Waraich has made false assertions regarding Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha’s visits to Arab countries. It has been said that the DG ISI met senior Arab leaders and asked permission for a military coup in Pakistan. The story has been publishing without verification at any level.

It is clarified that DG ISI did not meet any Arab leader between the days of 1st-9th May 2011 as mentioned in the article. DG ISI’s other visits to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and UAE only, prior to or after this period, were part of routine intelligence sharing activity, during which he interacted with his counterparts only.

Contents of the article are strongly and categorically denied. A legal notice is being served to the newspaper to retract the story and apologies. Previously also The Independent (UK) had made false claims on different issue like OBL episode.

No discussion on ISAF supply with Gen Kayani says Gen Allen

Like us on Facebook

Rawalpindi - 14th December 2011

During telephonic conversation between General Jhon Allen and General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani (HI) on 12 December 2011, the issue of reopening up of ISAF (international security assistance force)  supply route never came under discussion as has been highlighted in the statements of Commander ISAF. It would be appreciated that unnecessary speculation in this regard is avoided.

Last month on 26th November 2011 the ISAF supply was closed because of ISAF airstrike which killed 25 Pakistan Army men at Sala check-post. General Kayani took a serious notice of this and took necessary measure to react against future attack from the other side of the boarder.  Some of the major measures by the COAS were finishing the chain of command in army, ordering shooting down of ISAF drones, evacuating Shamsi and upgrading air defence system at Pak-Afghan border.

In last few weeks the Pak-US relationship has gone from bad to worst.
