This sounds like the standard policy denial, Their creditably have become so poor that people in general find it hard to believe their denials, Its not only the Politicians and ISI but the entire Institution image is tarnished. The Army is to busy playing politics that they cannot find time to defend their borders.

Why the same source is so true if it is used to fix Amb. Haqqani and not good enough for Pasha.

Love Your Country |
To me the people who want to see their supreme instituitions defamed are only those who have no sincerity in their heart for their country and they are ever ready to believe in such propaganda against our defence forces. I can only pray for them to let ALLAH give them ability to discern between right and wrong.
