Govt has no control on Army/ISI ops: ministry

ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Defence in its written reply to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the memogate scandal case has said that it has no control on the Army/ISI operations, Geo News reported.

Sources privy to the matter told Geo News that defence ministry in the rejoinder had confessed to the fact that it had no handle whatsoever on any of the operations conducted by Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The government only takes care of administrative affairs of these two institutions, thus the ministry was not in a position to answer or explain anything on the behalf of Pakistan Army, they added quoting the rejoinder.

It is pertinent to mention here that Supreme Court of Pakistan had ordered Ministry of Defence to submit a written reply on the same.

Meanwhile ISI chief, Gen Shuja Pasha in his reply to Supreme Court on the memo issue has reaffirmed his earlier stance.
