Former Advisor to the prime minister on national security, Maj Gen(R) Mehmood Ali Durani has said that he decided to reveal the identity of Ajmal Kasab after consultation with ISI’s high officials. While talking to a private TV channel, Durrani said the disclosure of Kasab’s nationality as Pakistani was his own decision and DG ISI Shuja Pasha did not issue any instructions in this regard. However, he added, he had held consultations with him before issuing his statement. He said after he had exposed Kasab, the prime minister had removed him from the post of the advisor. “I was made a scapegoat as PM had issued orders to fire me without listening to my point of view,” he said, adding that President Zardari had called him after his dismissal.
