Former ISI chief, Lt Gen Hameed Gul has said that US is on the way to launch military offensive against Pakistan ahead of attack on Iran... Hamid Gul warned that USA was paving way to launch military strike against Pakistan. The incidents taking place in Gilgit and Sui are linked to this possible attack. We are fearful that attempts will be made to deteriorate situation in Karachi and other parts of the country", he remarked. He regretted that Pakistan was extending hand of friendship to India by sidelining Kashmiris. Cold war like situation prevails here and it is the democratic institutions rather than strategic institutions, which fight such wars. "Our defence line has come under threat due to arbitrary decisions of single man", he alleged. A clash like situation has emerged between the people and the rulers, he added. There is need that nation is united and dynamic to face the challenges. "We should not be fearful of US and India", he observed. Lt Gen Faiz Ali Chisti said that Pakistan and India have not an identical culture. "Our God is one and their gods are thousands in number", he added. Pakistan had come into being on two nation theory, he remarked. He blamed that the single man had done away with judicial rule and given the berths to thieves in cabinet. He went on to say that the sitting parliament and assemblies are product of rigging. PML-Q, Patriots and PML have come into existence overnight and they should be held accountable, he demanded. He held that survival of Pakistan lies in attaining Kashmir. Future wars will be fought on water issue, he cautioned. Admiral (Retd), Iftikhar Ahmad Sarohi reiterated Kashmir is jugular vein of Pakistan. Therefore, Kashmiris should be associated with dialogue process taking into consideration their ideology and philosophy, he added. Renowned journalist Majeed Nizami said that Pakistan and Kashmir are correlated. India is our foe and will always remain so, he warned. General Pervez Musharraf should return to their real job, he added.
It is probably a good idea he is no longer in charge of the ISI. This sounds like a collective of fruit bats.
