ISI Must Stop Intervention in
American Political System
Assistant
Secretary of State, Mr. Richard Boucher has hit the nail on the
head by declaring in Pakistan that United States would like to
see Pakistan Army under civilian control. Knowing the
complications and consequences of Pakistan military’s control
over Pakistan’s civil structure Pakistan Weekly has been
hammering this point for the last 6 years. Eventually, United
States’ government has come forward and stressed it upon general
Musharraf to inverse civil-military control relationship by
2007.
Pakistan Weekly welcomes Mr. Boucher’s
remarks and further demands that US government should ask
general Musharraf’s government to shut down its ISI operation
within United States
Here is the detail of this demand: Pakistani
American organizations were actively pursuing US and Pakistani
governments to build better relations between the countries. For
this purpose, they actively engaged US Congressmen, their
staffers and State Department and National Security Council’s
officials to educate them about issues of concern between United
States and Pakistan. While doing this all, they always
maintained balance between the interests of Pakistan—their
country of birth and interests of United States—their adopted
homeland.
Knowing general Musharraf’s dubious nature,
Pakistani American organizations refused to extend support to
his illegitimate set-up. They stressed upon him to restore
civilian rule in Pakistan and send Pakistani forces back to
their barracks.
Frustrated with non cooperative behavior of
Pakistani American organizations, general Musharraf moved ISI to
establish its own Pakistani American organization to influence
the American political system.
On general Musharraf’s behest, ISI used
Pakistan Embassy as a launching pad and launched a surrogate
Pakistani American organization with the name of PAL-C to
intervene in the American political system and create support
for general Musharraf. From the platform of PAL-C, ISI created
Pakistani American Caucus in the US Congress. General Musharraf
himself flew from Pakistan to inaugurate the Caucus. So far 75
Congressmen have signed the Pakistani American Caucus without
knowing that they are carrying ISI’s agenda in US Congress.
Apparently PAL-C is lobbying group of
Pakistani Americans who lobby in the US Congress on behalf of
Pakistan, but the fact of the matter is PAL-C is ISI’s surrogate
organization. The proofs of its surrogate relationship with ISI
are all its official directives which have been issued by
Embassy of Pakistan. Before previous DCM issued those directives
under his signatures, now current DCM issues those directives
under his name.
General Musharraf is a blackmailer who has
blackmailed United States under the cover of 9/11 and its war
against terrorism.
Innocent people being used by ISI on behalf
of general Musharraf within Pakistan and in the United States
for this purpose even do not know whose agenda they are pursuing
and why?
We demand US government should shut down
ISI’s operation within US Congress which is tempering with
American political system for general Musharraf’s personal
gains.
United States government must use all its
powers to pack up general Musharraf’s web of blackmail within
and out of Pakistan and support true democratic forces to run
the state affairs of Pakistan.
General Musharraf’s sham democracy is a
serious threat to US interests in Pakistan and in that part of
the world.
US must act before general Musharraf starts
any new game to undermine the interests of the United States.
