RAWALPINDI – The former boss of country’s top spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lt General (retd) Asad Durrani was found guilty of violating military’s code of conduct, the media wing of military confirmed on Friday.
Addressing an important press conference in the aftermath of Pulwama attack and the allegations hurled against Pakistan, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor expressed that the pension and other benefits of the former general have been revoked.
Durrani had co-authored a book ‘The Spy Chronicles’ with AS Dulat, the former chief of India’s spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in which he had revealed how the spy agency performed its operational tasks.

Soon after the book was launched last year, an inquiry was launched against Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani and he was also summoned to the Pakistan Army’s General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi to explain his position on views attributed to him in the sensational memoir.
His name was also placed on the Exit Control List, barring him from leaving the country last year, following which he moved the Islamabad High Court.
Durrani, who served as the chief of Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency from August 1990 till March 1992, also detailed in the book different aspects of important events including Kargil Operation, Abbottabad Operation against Osama bin Laden, the arrest of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav in Pakistan, Hafiz Saeed and Kashmiri freedom fighter Burhan Wani.

The former spy czar also hinted that Pakistan’s premier spy agency ISI knew about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden (OBL) and allowed US agency CIA to launch an operation ‘Neptune Spear’ in Abbottabad to take out the mastermind of Twin Towers tragedy.
His disclosures had set the tongues wagging in Pakistan as to why the former ISI boss had opened up on matters concerning national security in public sphere.
