ISLAMABAD (ENN) Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif here on Friday demanded that an emergency meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) be summoned over the book written by former ISI chief Lieutenant General (retd) Asad Durrani.
Lieutenant General (retd) Asad Durrani served as the chief of Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate from August 1990 till March 1992.
Durrani co-authored The Spy Chronicles with former Indian spy chief AS Dulat titled The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace.
Speaking to journalists after his hearing, Nawaz said that Durrani’s book should be discussed at an NSC meeting.
On May 14, the NSC had called a meeting over Nawaz’s statement on the 2008 Mumbai attacks, published in daily Dawn.
Therefore, here on Friday, Nawaz apparently criticised the committee, saying a trustworthy national committee should be constituted to look over such matters.
A book co-authored by former chief of India’s spy agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), AS Dulat and Durrani has recently been published making headlines even before it hits shelves.
The book titled Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace is the first-ever effort by two former chiefs of rival spy agencies to jointly write a book.
