Explain yourself, Pak army to Durrani, the Spy Chronicler
Durrani has expressed dismay at his \"own people\" after facing severe backlash over the book.
Islamabad: Pakistan's powerful spy agency ISI's former chief Lt Gen (retd.) Asad Durrani has been banned from leaving the country and will face a Court of Inquiry over a controversial book he recently co-authored with India's former intelligence head.
Durrani, who headed the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency from August 1990 till March 1992, along with former RAW chief A S Dulat has recently published the book titled 'The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace' in India. He was summoned to the General Headquarters (GHQ) Monday to explain his position on the book, said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Durrani has expressed dismay at his "own people" after facing severe backlash over the book. "I am saddened by the allegations made against me by my own people. I have served Pakistan all along putting my life at risk. People who live life for others selflessly never get respect they deserve & instead those who do all wrongs for their own benefits are treated like King," he said.
