Very interesting. Was Mr Jinnah the first leader of the country to assign a political role to the ISI?

**Jinnah **founded ISI too
ISLAMABAD, Jan 2 (UNI) — The role of Mohammed Ali Jinnah in the first 13 months of the creation of his country may come in for a fresh critical review after a new book claiming that the founder of Pakistan himself had ordered the formation of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to keep watch on “anti-state” politicians.
The latest book authored by Pakistani journalist Munir Ahmed says that Mr Jinnah was the first leader of the country to assign a political role to the ISI. This role, the author claims, was institutionalised in 1975 by the then Prime Minister Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
If Mr Munir Ahmed’s findings in the work “Political role of intelligence agencies in Pakistan” are correct, it can be assumed that Mr Jinnah had envisioned a role for the armed forces in the governance of the country right from its creation.
He notes that politicians were accused of corruption and anti-state activities right from the beginning. Mr Jinnah dismissed the Congress Government of Dr Khan Saheb in 1947 and a few months later he dismissed Sind Chief Minister M.A. Khuru on charges of corruption.
In the 13 months of his life in Pakistan, he was thoroughly disgusted with politicians — even his own right-hand man Liaquat Ali Khan. Hence, his possible preference for the armed forces.
Munir Ahmed writes that since then the ISI and other intelligences agencies have become the real rulers of Pakistan. Victories and defeats in elections are manoeuvred by them. Mr Sharif was toppled because of the ISI, just as was Ms Benazir Bhutto before him, he adds.
Now we see ISI,…everywhere,..as during BJP govt in India,…Advani was interior Minister,…He used to Blame ISI for everything,…If he catches FLU,..its ISI,…if there is dead Mouse lying on the road its,…ISI.
Now book comes out and blames Jinnah now…** I think Jinnah used ISI to create Pakistan,…** Oneday we gonna hear that too,..because Writing books on ISI is profitable business now,…Oh BTW,…Sir Syed Ahmed Khan,…used ISI,…help to start AliGarh University for muslims…
