Pakistan’s new ISI chief, Lt Gen Zaheer-ul-Islam, is the nephew of Indian National Army hero Shah Nawaz Khan and through him, shares a tenuous link with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, defence analyst Ikram Sehgal has said.
Sehgal said that Islam’s father served as a brigadier in the Pakistan Army and Shah Nawaz Khan, who was a major general in the INA led by Subhas Chandra Bose, was his uncle.
The Inter-Services Public Relations has however rejected the report that Islam has any relation with Shahrukh Khan. “One son of Shah Nawaz Khan went with him at the time of Partition, while another, Mahmood Nawaz, stayed on in Pakistan and became a full colonel. In fact, Mahmood Nawaz went and met his father only after retirement as he could not travel to India while he was in service,” Sehgal said, providing details of the new ISI chief’s extended family.
Shah Rukh Khan’s late mother Lateef Fatima was the adopted daughter of Shah Nawaz Khan, according to the Bollywood star’s biography on several websites.
It could not immediately be ascertained whether Islam had ever met Shah Nawaz Khan, who died in 1983.
Shah Nawaz Khan was himself born at Kahuta and served in the British Indian Army during World War II. He was captured when Japanese troops overran Singapore in 1942 and then joined the INA. He subsequently fought alongside Japanese forces against the British in Burma (now Myanmar).
Shah Nawaz Khan was captured by the British and put on trial with other INA officers in 1946. They were convicted for treason but were discharged due to intense pressure from the public. He later joined the Congress party and was elected to the Lok Sabha four times.
it is indian media new drama
DON ….
Kahen alsli burai ki jarr Don hi to naheen?
In a balanced country with stable institutions including the media, both these persons should be nonentities. One is a government employee at one of the intelligent service, and another is a film actor entertaining people at best. Unfortunately this nation is too entangled in non issues.
Pakistan has yet to enter the list of 'balanced' countries. Pakistan is a unique country where the armed forces and its leadership are considered sacrosanct. They are a taboo. Pakistan is a unique country where corps commanders conference is given headline on electronic media and where generals deliberate about the political situation of the country. Pakistan is a unique country where army chief and the spy master run a parallel government. Pakistan is a unique country where all the TV channels are duty bound to telecast live a speech of a leader of an ethnic party from London and stop coverage to any other news of however importance. Pakistan is a unique country where the CJP is made 'non functional' by a despot and so on and on.
Coming to the link between Shahrukh Khan and new spy master, I would say Shahrukh has no resemblance whatsoever with the general and he is much smart than the general.
COME ON IS IT A NEWS, EVEN IF HE HAS LINKS WATS THE BIG DAMN DEAL IN IT, it should’nt be even a news
As long as the ISI can destroy enemies of Pakistan and deal with international terrorists effectively nothing else need to be said.
Great! Now ISI will practically manipulate and build assets in the entertainment industry of India!!!
Defence Analyst Ikram Sehgal ko duniya meyn aur koi kaam hi nahi hey—
=P
Ikram is self acclaimed defence analyst but a vintage.
… I think Islam should be proud that his Grand Dad fought against the British with Subhash Chandra Bose … as distinct from the servile Grand Dads of many of our wadera and zamindar politicians!
… Pakistan is a perfectly balanced country which … against humungous odds … has grown, prospered and progressed a long way since 1947 … regardless of what the UK colonias and those serviles who have foresaken real Freedom for cushy servility in the UK (and taken oath to the British Royalty – exactly the one our forefathers fought hard and got rid of) …
This is nature of PPP and its alliances to designate the disputed personalities on sensitive key posts in the country,so that actual attention of the poor nation shoulg be diverted to non-productive issues.When Nawaz Sharief dealt trade relations with India,this PPP allainace made it very big issues.But now when they formulating these key and sensitive posts,they do not care and respect public views.This is very hypocratical poliies of this secular ruling alliances,Before posting,the ruling parties must consult with the opposition befire declaring it publically.What who will put the bell on PPP and its alliances`s neck.This is very bad luck or the country as the ruling parties are claiming for so-caled Democracy.It is PPP`s tactocracy from its creation and blackmail the innocent nation.For Allah`s sake wake up and do not go with PPP and its alliances.they are totally working agaisnt Pakistan and Islam.The nation must go with Nawaz sharief`s party who will make Pakistan a strong and powerful country without depending on america.PPP ahs changed the map of Pakistan,but we did not learn anything,now is the time to share with Nawaz sharief only.
