Former Chief of Army Staff, General Mirza Aslam Beg and Lt Gen Asad Durani
Islamabad … News Time
Former Chief of Army Staff General Mirza Aslam Baig claimed that he had strictly prohibited Lt Gen Asad Durrani of the time before the 1990 elections. Do not drag the army into political engineering. They did this amazing discovery in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) statement given to the team. This is allegedly investigating the distribution of Rs 148 crore in the 1990 elections in the country. I called General Asad Durrani and warned about the use of ISI funds carefully. General Mirza Aslam Baig revealed in the statement to the FIA and the court that, after that, I never talked about this matter with him. I did not give him any money for the name or distribution of a politician, because it was completely the option, and he was responsible for reporting the president.
General Asad Durrani violated the Army Rules by opening several accounts in the name of the 202 Survey Section, for its operational intelligence purposes only under its command. I found out in 1996 only for violating it when he submitted a memorandum to the Supreme Court. I do not know who should run all the accounts. I know Brigadier Hamid Saeed, a 202 Survey Operation Commander, as a whole And ISI’s account holder and politicians do not know as a fund distributor. Durrani claims that he distributed the funds and recorded in his hand-written notice, but he did not have any legal status. Similarly, claiming to divide the funds, there is no witness of this transaction, no written or verbal evidence. It’s just a lie.
Mirza Aslam Baig further explains that Durrani wisely joined the 202 survey section in this game, so that army should be included in this turbulent task; it is an inappropriate task for the Army Officer of this rank. Mirza Aslam Baig has made serious allegations on General Asad Durrani saying that he (Darani) had become very close to the leadership of Pakistan People’s Party. That he had started participating in the meetings of the central executive committee of PPP in uniform, this was also told to the Chief of Army Staff Gen. Abdul Waheed at that time, and they retired them immediately. Mirza Aslam Baig further accused Asad Durrani that, when Benazir Bhutto returned to power in October 1993, he offered a ambassador to Asad Durrani who accepted and before leaving Germany, talked to Benazir on the game plan, The self-explanation revealed in his hand-written confession, this statement was written to the prime minister. In this letter he talks on two purposes of conspiracy: Removing General Mirza Aslam Baig and targeting the opposition. In this letter Durrani has given names of a few politicians who received Rs. 8 crores. Mirza Aslam Baig further says the remaining six crore directors were given to the International Intelligence (ISI). They (Durrani) further say that the army’s high command was aware of the operation. General Mirza Aslam Baig claimed that the course of engineering was being conducted by the ISI since 1975, and was in knowledge of everyone.
Mirza Aslam Baig explains that General Asad Durrani had requested the posting of the 202 survey deployed in Sindh to be given under section. So that intelligence can be supported in the province. In the command of Brigadier Hamid Saeed, the 202 survey section was given under DGISI for intelligence purposes for one year. The 88-year-old general said, the government was preparing the elections when the Army Intelligence told them that Younis Habib has handed over some funds to the President’s orders for election logistics for Logistics Support. General Mirza Aslam Baig added, so I met the president and told him that he had already known, he said, “Do not worry,” Durrani will handle it. He knows how to handle. The President did not give any orders because his election cell was watching these matters. He (Durani) was not reporting me as a new procedure was being adopted since 1975; when Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto gave a political responsibility to the ISI by a special notification. And this political responsibility was not challenged in any court.
This was the reason that from 1990 to 1994 I did not know anything about ISI’s political responsibility. Mirza Aslam Baig recalled that it was July 1994 when PPP’s interior minister Major General (R) Nasirullah Babar heard the news in the National Assembly that in 1990 the funds were distributed in the politicians. General said, I was amazed and upset but could not inquire about it because Asad Durrani was appointed as a ambassador in Germany. And 151- There was no record of this transaction in the HQ. Asghar Khan filed a retot against me in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The retire general claimed, I found out that this was a plot by director FIA Rehman Malik at that time. This was done on Benazir Bhutto’s order that kept me unaware of many reasons, (1) Since I was a companion of General Ziaul Haq who hanged his father, they considered me guilty. (2) He believed that I was assisting President Ishaq Khan who had dismissed his government in 1990. (3) They accused me of pushing me in the 1991 elections. How Benazir Bhutto’s personal revolt turned into revenge, General Mirza Aslam Baig said in his statement that Benazir’s personal rage was turning into a conspiracy and was coming as a woman’s revenge. Indeed, in 1988, when they managed to control the power, they would continue to hate me.
General Bags further said that Rehman Malik made relations with Darani, when he was DGISI (from August 1990 to March 1992). General Mirza Aslam Baig revealed that Naseer ul allah Babar has listened the names of beneficiaries in July 1994 in the National Assembly. Asad Durrani was very disturbed on this suspicion and expressed his displeasure in the sworn letter submitted to the court on 31-10-1997. General Mirza Aslam Baig revealed that after a few weeks Rehman Malik visited the crime scene with a typed letter. In which ISI allegedly had the names of the funders, General Asad Durrani had signed special circumstances, under pressure, because it was the list that he had not provided to Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. . However, it was a change of diplomatic position.
