Asad Umar on Saturday pressed on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take a clear stance and appropriate action in wake of the allegations levelled by Senator Mushahidullah Khan against former Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen Zaheerul Islam Abbasi.</p><p>In an interview to BBC Urdu, Mushahidullah, Minister for Climate Change, had alleged that the “former head of ISI had devised a conspiracy to remove the elected government.” The senator's allegations were denied by both the government and military hours after the interview went live.</p><p><em>Read: <a

by the government insufficient, saying if the allegations levelled by Mushahidullah proved to be true, the former DG ISI and his accomplices should be tried for "planning and encouraging an act of treason."</p> <table class="media one-whole palm--one-whole media--uneven"> <tr><td class="media__item media__item--twitter "> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" width="100%"> <a

Nawaz Sharif on Saturday summoned PML-N Senator Mushahidullah Khan from his trip to the Maldives on an immediate basis, in the wake of his recent statements he made in an interview with BBC, sources at the PM Secretariat told Dawn.</p><p>The sources added that Premier Nawaz Sharif would decide on the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz Senator's resignation after his arrival.</p><p>Mushahidullah in his interview to BBC highlighted that the plan to overthrow the government was made when the two marches — the ‘Azadi March’ by PTI and the Inqilab March by Pakistan Awami Tehreek — entered Islamabad in August 2014.</p><p>In his interview to the BBC, one year after the two marches set forth from Lahore towards Islamabad, the minister claimed that the plan made by the then head of ISI General Zaheerul Islam was aimed at creating unrest and chaos.</p><p>“Telephone discussions of the former intelligence head have been recorded in which he was giving directions on how to create chaos and take over the PM’s house,” Senator Mushahidullah claimed in the interview.</p><p>He then added that these telephone conversations were recorded by the civil intelligence agency, the Intelligence Bureau (IB), which reports to the interior ministry.</p><p>“The conspiracy was not only to target the civil government led by Nawaz Sharif but it was even against the army chief,” he said, “The action plan was to create a deep rift between the PM and the army chief so that the prime minister may take action against Gen Raheel Sharif and then some people would come into action.”</p><p>Within hours of Mushahidullah's remarks having hit the airwaves of the news channels, the Prime Minister's Secretariat (PMS) and then the ISPR, the military’s media wing, issued statement denying the existence of the conspiracy in statements that snubbed the minister as well as others.</p><p>The statement from the Prime Minister's Secretariat also added that Senator Mushahidullah had been asked to clarify his position over his statement.</p><p>After that the minister as well as the information minister spoke to television channels to deny the interview. Senator Mushahidullah went so far to say that he simply repeated rumours he had heard from here and there.</p><p>The PTI had staged a 126-day sit-in in Islamabad last year to press for its demand for

The fact is that this controversy has been generated from PM House. Do recall the Khawaja Asif totally foolish outburst when PTI returned. A very credible Islamabad Media person said it on TV that this was planned in PM House and Khawja A was tasked to utter nonsense in a supposedly civilized Parliament. Mushahidullah has recently joined this inner gang. During recent Parliament session Mushahid spoke after Khawaja Saad Rafique in the same silly language that he is used to. So let me assure you this was all planned just to belittle the Armed Forces and embarrass the Chief. This is how small men and puny minds work. All this was preplanned and approved.Mushahid will be rewarded soon. His resignation was part of this plan too.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Thechange" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523382"><!-- -->Recommend</span><!-- --><span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523382">0</span> </div> </div> </div> <!-- .nine-tenths --> </div> <!-- .grid --> </div> <!-- .comment --> <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom" id="2523399"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <div class="comment__author size-four caps float--left">smaad</div> <div class="timeago comment__date size-four soft-half--bottom float--left" title="2015-08-15T17:08:09+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2015-08-15T17:08:09+05:00">Aug 15, 2015 05:08pm</span></div> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"> <p>PTI has done a tremendous disservice to the nation and people of this nation by their antics which were to blame for billions of Rs of economic losses.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="smaad" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523399"><!-- -->Recommend</span><!-- --><span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523399">0</span> </div> </div> </div> <!-- .nine-tenths --> </div> <!-- .grid --> </div> <!-- .comment --> <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom" id="2523411"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <div class="comment__author size-four caps float--left">The last comment</div> <div class="timeago comment__date size-four soft-half--bottom float--left" title="2015-08-15T17:14:18+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2015-08-15T17:14:18+05:00">Aug 15, 2015 05:14pm</span></div> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"> <p>Agree Mr Asad Umer</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="The last comment" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523411"><!-- -->Recommend</span><!-- --><span class="button__count votejs__count" data-vote-key="1200613/up-2523411">0</span> </div> </div> </div> <!-- .nine-tenths --> </div> <!-- .grid --> </div> <!-- .comment --> <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom" id="2523415"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <div class="comment__author size-four caps float--left">jaleem</div> <div class="timeago comment__date size-four soft-half--bottom float--left" title="2015-08-15T17:15:25+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2015-08-15T17:15:25+05:00">Aug 15, 2015 05:15pm</span></div> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"> <p>PTI should work to benefit the common person by building consensus in the NA and drafting legislation to put the country forward, rather than playing the blame game and politics of nonsense.
