The Name of EX-ISI Chief will be placed on the no-fly list-ISPR

The name of a former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief, retired Lt Gen Asad Durrani — who recently co-authored a book with former Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) chief Amarjit Singh Dulat — will be placed on the no-fly list, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced on Monday.


The statement followed Durrani's summoning to General Headquarters (GHQ) on Monday to "explain his position on views attributed to him" in the book, titled The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace.

The release of the book has sparked accusations of treachery against the former spy chief after his candid views on various matters of regional and global concern came under intense public scrutiny.

"The competent authority [has been] approached to place his [Durrani] name on the Exit Control List," army spokesperson Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor announced on Monday via Twitter.

He added that "a formal Court of Inquiry headed by a serving Lt Gen has been ordered to probe the matter in detail".

So far, no details have been shared about which statements attributed to Durrani in the book are considered a violation of the code of conduct.




The book is mainly a series of discussions conducted between the two former adversaries on a range of topics, moderated by journalist Aditya Sinha.

The paperback has served as an ice-breaker of sorts between the two warring neighbours while also spurring criticism of Indian state repression in held Kashmir.

The two former spies have in the book touched upon some thorny issues which have kept Pakistan-India ties strained for decades and at times pushing them to the brink of war. The issues include terrorism — particularly the Mumbai attack — Kashmir and the influence of intelligence agencies.

Earlier, Durrani had said that the book was Dulat’s idea but at no time was it considered as an occasion to spill any secrets.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time instance of Durrani co-authoring something with Dulat.

In 2013, the two published a joint paper on Pakistan-India relations in the context of Kashmir titled Kashmir: Confrontation to Cooperation.

Durrani notes in The Spy Chronicles that the paper had not received any adverse reaction from the military establishment, even though it also dealt with some contentious themes.

When you are trying to ensure justice in society and the entire nation you would see the one eye to every one of them and the system would be one for the rich and poor also. the education of daughter is that much important which we focus on son education.  Today we are talking the inequality in genders and we will find is that equality of both the genders ????  In politics, the political theory of equality is more strong. where political parties are given equal status to both male and female members but unfortunately there is a huge gape for both status you can imagine that through seeing the number of women representatives in the national assembly. 51% of population women in Pakistan and the representatives of women's in the national assembly is only 70 seats out of 342 in the national assembly and the men repr...
