If the federal government tries to give an extension to ISI DG then it means that the memo scandal was fake and cooked up to get an extension for the ISI chief, Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali said on Thursday.
Holding a press conference, he said that the PML-N had submitted a resolution in the National Assembly (NA) over missing persons and would debate the issue extensively in the next NA session. Nisar said that the PPP instead of holding Waheeda Shah accountable for slapping an ECP official was holding protests, adding that the ECP was playing into the federal government’s and President Asif Ali Zardari’s hands. He said that huge money of the nation was spent and for the first time in the history of Pakistan, a statement was recorded abroad in the memo scandal. “According to my reports, President Zardari wants to give an extension to the ISI DG only to give an impression that there is nothing wrong and everything is moving smoothly,” he said. The opposition leader said that the federal government should hold general elections by October or else the opposition would take up the issue. To a question about the Mehran Bank scandal and involvement of Nawaz Sharif in the matter, he said that the matter was in the court. “Nawaz can reply better to this question,” he said. Nisar said that the PTI only had a one-point agenda, which was Imran Khan. “If they give any concrete agenda then we can talk with them but right now they have nothing in mind and only promoting Imran, who is making personal attacks on the PML-N,” he concluded.
