Which ISI, the inner or the outer?

The committee members told the media the decision was taken unanimously. But two-third of the committee's members did not participate in the meeting.

Only private members attended the meeting while government representatives did not show up."

"He [Pemra member Israr Abbasi] added a final decision whether to cancel the licenses will be taken on May 28. Abbasi alleged Geo owner Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman had called Pemra members and was trying to influence their decision by offering bribes as well as making threats."
