Asif attends ISI briefing for PM, ministers

By Our Staff Reporter

ISLAMABAD, May 16: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari visited the headquarters of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on Friday to attend a briefing on the security situation, sources told Dawn.

The presence of Mr Zardari, who is neither an elected lawmaker nor a government official, in the important briefing surprised observers here because such briefings are held exclusively for people under oath.

Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Minister for Defence Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar also attended the briefing given by ISI chief Lt-Gen Nadim Taj.

The sources said the prime minister and his team were briefed on the current situation in tribal areas and along the borders.

Such meetings are a routine matter and heads of intelligence agencies brief new government functionaries on the security situation to help them formulate future policies. The nature of such briefings is so sensitive that the president or the prime minister is required to go to the headquarters for first hand information, and non-government functionaries and low-grade intelligence officials are not invited.

No official handout was issued about the briefing and ministers belonging to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) were tight-lipped about Mr Zardari’s presence in the briefing.

Meanwhile, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Tariq Majeed and Director General Strategic Planning Division Lt-Gen (retd) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai visited the Prime Minister House and briefed Mr Gilani on the country’s strategic assets and various projects undertaken by the division to make the country’s defence impregnable.

According to an official handout, the prime minister said the government was committed to maintaining a minimum credible deterrence through conventional and strategic capabilities as Pakistan had a major role to play for peace and stability in the region.

Mr Gilani said that impregnable defence could only be achieved through economic sovereignty, smooth political process, good neighbourliness, friendly international environment and good governance. He lauded the role of the armed forces both in maintaining external security and making valuable services during national calamities. He said Pakistan was a peace-loving country and did not harbour aggressive design against any country. “We, however, believe that peace is achieved through strength and not weakness,” he said, adding the government would continue to provide all necessary support to further enhance the capabilities of the armed forces.

The JCSC chairman apprised Mr Gilani of the performance and professional activities of the army, air force and navy. He also updated the prime minister on the ongoing upgradation programmes in the defence sector.

as far as i can understand...

Asif Zardari has been granted the viceroyalty/governeorship of Pakistan region by unclesam.. Zardari is also blackmailing Mushy and not letting him go/quit (threatening him with Article 6 and/or people's revenge) .. because if Mushy goes then who will serve as a redherring/scape goat for all the mess in the country... rightnow .. zardari can do just about anything and get away with it .. with minimum amount of damage.. just imagine his situation if Mushy were not at the top to be blamed for everything.....

just a thought...

[freeek]

I agree wid both of u... very defined approach, indeed...
but I think Mushy has closed all the cases related to Asif Zardari except one... I am not that much informed about it.. but that is an international case, which was, for the time-being, post-poned... but that wasnt closed... I wud search the case.. dont remember what was that, since I m nill informed wid all the politics being played..
any way, point being, that mushy has powers, he can throw Zardari outa all the political monopoly in jus a blink... I think... I jus think... as Im not sure whether Im right or wrong... but... there is a case still on Zardari which is not, as yet, closed...

The comatose Awam yet again gave them another mandate to rule us. It's a shame really. The goons have joined hands in a bid to steal all they could in partnership but hey PML-N withdrew its support just in the sixth week. On the other hand we see the master thug, Asif Ali Zardari, meeting the president/prime minister of Turkey! Is he our prime minister?
