December 04: The ISI is fully under “government control” and no one can question its “credibility” in counter-terrorism efforts, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said.
Gilani, currently on a visit here also claimed that “India is increasing its role in Afghanistan.” He did not elaborate.
“The ISI is our asset for the country and they are doing everything under the control of the government.
Therefore we cannot doubt their credibility. They are working under the constitution of Pakistan. They are performing a good job in counter-terrorism. There is no need (for the CIA),” Gilani was quoted as saying by the Guardian.
He claimed Pakistani forces had captured all the militant strongholds in South Waziristan. He said the operation in Swat, where 2 million refugees had been displaced, most of whom returned to their homes in a space of 10 weeks, was a world first.
