No operational control over ISI and MI, defence ministry tells court

The ministry of defence exercises only administrative control over Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) and it does not have any operational control or jurisdiction to enforce the courts direction on these agencies, an official of the ministry informed the Sindh High Court on Tuesday.

The court was hearing six petitions against illegal detention of people belonging to political and religious organisations.
