Pasha refuses to tell memo commission about S section of ISI

Islamabad: Pakistan’s former chief of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. Gen (retd) Ahmed Shuja Pasha refused to tell anything about S section of the country’s principal spy service to the judicial commission, probing the memogate.

He appeared before the commission headed by Balochistan High Court Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Thursday to record his statement. During the course of cross examination, the commission head asked him whether S section of the ISI was found to carry out operations in Afghanistan. Pasha’s answer was in negation.

“What does S section do,” Qazi Isa asked. “I could not tell you,” the former ISI chief replied.

“How many section are operating in ISI,” the commission asked. “There are eight sections in the ISI,” Gen Pasha said. The only thing Pasha told about the S section was that the section was operational wing of the powerful secret agency of the country.

The US and its allies accused the S section of the ISI of having links with militants in Afghanistan
