Re: Imran tries to bring ISI directly into politics
You are basing the justification around a typo?? LOL
You keep bringing examples from the past to justify Imran’s corrupt dealings - without even realising you are acknowledging this makes Imran is as bad as all those you criticise.
PTI chief’s proposal - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
The suggestion by the PTI chief that a Supreme Court-led commission to inquire into the conduct of elections in May 2013 should include representatives of the ISI and MI is nothing short of staggering and bizarre.
Quite simply, it is these very organisations, and especially the ISI, that has historically queered the electoral pitch against democrats and civilian politicians. In fact, the last major electoral-related case that was adjudicated on by the Supreme Court — the Mehrangate scandal and the rigging of the 1990 election in favour of the IJI coalition led by Nawaz Sharif — led to the very highest levels of the army leadership, including a former army chief and DG ISI, being held responsible for essentially the buying of an election.
Even leaving that history aside, what legal role does the ISI or the MI have when it comes to electoral matters? What is their official expertise in a matter that must be decided along laid-down legal criteria? All that Mr Khan appears to have done with his peculiar suggestion is reinforce the impression that the PTI wants the army to have a role in politics and elections.
