ISI DG should have resigned after May 2 operation: Asma

Asma Jahangir, counsel for Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani, on Monday said the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha should have resigned when al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Abbottabad by the US. Speaking to reporters outside the Supreme Court, Asma said appropriate methods should be adopted to criticise the court’s decisions and a lawyer especially, should be very careful in this regard. Asma said she was disappointed that copies of Mansoor Ijaz’s reply, which was sent through an email, were immediately distributed to others but was provided to her after a delay. She said she was satisfied with Monday’s hearing and that she was prepared to defend her client to her utmost capability.
