| Nawaz calls for dissolution of ISI's political wing |
| 2008-01-12 |
| PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif said on Friday that the PML-Q is a product of the ISI and called for an end to the agencyÂ’s political wing. In an interview with Hum TV, Nawaz said no democratic person could welcome an army coup, adding that the ISI might have been involved in the distribution of sweets upon the dismissal of his government in 1999. Nawaz said a countryÂ’s premier was answerable to the people and not to the army chief. He said the wars fought by Pakistan erupted during military rules, whereas democratic governments had ensured the development of the country. The PML-N chief said he conducted nuclear tests in 1998 in the supreme national interest despite extreme pressure by Bill Clinton. |
