This is the first time I’ve seen Pakistan’s communist movement in the news recently. I thought these guys had crawled away into hiding after the first Afghan war.

A petition seeking direction to the federation to immediately remove ISI Director General Lt Gen Ahmad Shuja Pasha in response to the ongoing memo controversy was filed in the Supreme Court on Monday. The petition was filed by central chairman of the Communist Party of Pakistan, Engineer Jameel Ahmad Malik under Article 184 (3) of the constitution making the federation through the defence secretary, the ISI chief, Omar Warraich - a journalist and correspondent of The Independent and Time, the Islamabad Press Club and Geo television anchor Hamid Mir respondents. The petitioner requested the court to order the federation, which appointed Pasha the ISI chief, to immediately suspend him until disposal of the instant petition. Citing various SC judgements, the petitioner pleaded that the continuance of Pasha as the ISI director general be declared a direct contravention of Article 244 of the constitution and the Pakistan Army Act 1952 and he should be removed from the post. He said it was widely reported in the print as well as electronic media in and outside Pakistan that the Pasha had sought and got permission from senior Arab leaders to oust President Asif Ali Zardari, who was the Supreme commander of the armed forces. “Till today this allegation is not denied by Pasha or the ISPR,” he said.
