Pasha's London trip under investigation: Gilani
2011-12-28
[Dawn] Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
on Tuesday said DG ISI Lt-Gen Shuja Pasha's trip to London in May was under investigation and all institutes including ISI were working under the government's ambit, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives after attending a wedding ceremony at a local hotel, the prime minister said that yesterday's presser was aimed at eradicating speculations and misunderstandings regarding army-government relations.

Gilani on Monday rebuffed the speculation that the government was planning to sack Army Chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani
... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI...
and DG ISI Lt-Gen Shuja Pasha.

The reports about army chief and DG ISI were the latest in what has been feverish press speculation about a rift between civilian politicians and the military.

To a question on whether a conspiracy was being hatched against the government, he said certain elements from time to time had been trying to create differences between the judiciary and the government, and also between the president and the prime minister, but in vain.

Answering a question, he said that DG ISI was on a trip to Doha with his permission this time.
