In the flurry of stirring statements, PM Gilani made a fresh statement to mediamen in Islamabad on return from Karachi and after attending a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC).When a reporter asked him if he knew of Gen Pashas visit to London, PM Gilani said that Gen Pasha has gone to Doha after seeking permission from him, while he didn’t seek permission for London visit, for which inquiry is being conducted.The PM said that there is a difference between a request and begging. I had requested the COAS and the DG ISI to continue on extension, while the media used the world beg. I requested the COAS and the DG to continue. I didnt beg. Look, I repeat that commanders cannot be changed in the middle of a war.He said he sticks to his point that there cant be parallel governments in the country.On the other hand, Interior Minister Rehman Malik confirmed in a separate statement that the DG ISI’s foreign visits are kept secret.Later, PMs spokesman scrambled to clarify that the PMs statament about DG ISIs London visit has been taken in wrong vein.
