All eyes on crucial APC today

ISI not exporting terrorism: Lt Gen Pasha

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani will host a crucial All Parties Conference (APC) today (Thursday) in an effort to evolve national response to the US threats to invade North Waziristan Agency that Washington blames Haqqani Netwrok is using as a safe haven.

Director General ISI Lt General Shuja Pasha briefed the All Parties Conference (APC) about the challenges the country was facing at the military front.

According to sources, Lt General Pasha said that the ISI was not exporting terrorism and denied US accusations of supporting the Haqqani network.

Sources further add that PML-N President Nawaz Sharif said that there must be some reason that the world was leveling these accusations against Pakistan. Sharif called for all issues to be presented before parliament and added that the world would not believe Pakistan unless parliamentary resolutions were implemented.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani replied to Sharif that he would eliminate his concerns.

Chairman of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party Mehmood Achakzai also reacted to Lt General Pasha’s statements and said that if the ISI wanted it could achieve peace in Afghanistan within a month.
