Pak SC directive to Govt on 'elusive' ISI political cell formation | | Pakistan's Supreme Court hearing the Asghar Khan petition has directed the Govt to submit a report pertaining to the establishment of the Inter-Services Intelligence's (ISI) political cell. A three-judge bench has been hearing the 1996 petition by Tehrik-i-Istiqlal chief Air Martial (retired) Asghar Khan pertaining to the distribution of money among politicians by the ISI. Khan had accused the ISI of financing politicians in the 1990 elections by dishing out Rs 140 million to create the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) and prevent Benazir Bhutto's PPP from winning the polls. The petition was based on an affidavit of former ISI chief Lt-Gen (retd) Asad Durrani, reports The Dawn. During the hearing, Attorney General Irfan Qadir said the notification enabling the formation of the ISI's political cell was not available. The hearing was adjourned to October 3 after Khan's counsel Salman Akram Raja failed to appear for the hearing due to ill health. |
