Summary Roedad Khan has revealed that Gen retd Aslam Baig and US conspired to get rid of Zia-ul-Haq.
Talking to Dunya News former interior secretary Roedad Khan said Mrs Robin Rafeel confirmed this and refused to meet General Aslam Baig during his visit to US.Roeedad further said ISI sponsored launching of IJI because Benazir Bhutto had become a security risk as she was willing to cap Pakistan’s nuclear programme.ISI, headed by Hamid Gul, became active for dislodging the government of Benazir Bhutto and IJI was established for this purpose, he said.“United States became angry with Zia-ul-Haq when he advanced the nuclear bomb plan to completion. The US was also apprehensive that Zia would not allow it to play a role in Afghanistan,” Roedad said.He said the US was happy with Musharraf but facilitated his exit because of public resentment against him.To a question he said judiciary was very powerful in Pakistan but accountability of ex-army men was still a far cry.He predicted that caretaker government would be established but it would extend its tenure and there would be no accountability.“Establishment is afraid of Mian Nawaz Sharif,” Roedad said.
