Pakistan's PM Advises President For Further 2-Year Extension Of ISI Chief Pasha

Islamabad - Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has advised President Asif Ali Zardari to extend Director General Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. General Ahmed Shuja Pasha’s service for two years. Pasha is already on extension.

On March 9, 2010, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had extended the term of service of Pasha, as the rules empower the Army Chief to extend service of a Lt General by one year. 
 

Retirement date of Pasha, who has been serving as Director-General of the ISI since his appointment by Kayani in September 2008 was March 18, 2010.

It is pertinent to recall here that the telephonic conversation between Pasha and his American counterpart CIA chief Leon Panetta last week had partially eased the hype in tension between the two countries over the issue of Raymond Davis - Online News Network
