Former DG Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Ahmed Shuja Pasha has
said that drone strikes in Pakistan were done after getting permission
from Pakistan. Shuja
Pasha also admitted that drone strikes were somehow useful but it voiltes Pakistan’s sovereignty.
According to media reports in the recently leaked Abbottabad
Commission report it was stated that Shuja Pasha said that there was no
written agreement between US and Pakistan regarding drone strikes.
However there was a political understanding between Pakistan and United
States on drone issue.
“They were legal according to American law but illegal according to
international law,” the report quoted the ISI chief as saying.
On many occasions Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has said
that drone attacks were carried out with the permission of the Pakistan
government. Imran has said that the government conducts drone attacks
through the US and then condemns the same.
This recent statement of Former DG ISI Ahmed Shuja Pasha tells that
Pakistan’s previous governments have lied to people of Pakistan when
they say that government have not given permission to US for drone
strikes.
