| Ex Pak generals and Bhutto slam Mush for revealing secrets | | |
Islamabad, Sept 29 Retired Pakistani Generals and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto have slammed President Pervez Musharraf for endangering national security interests through his memoirs with a former Army officer wanting him to be "interrogated" by a national commission.
"He (Musharraf) has provided ample legal and moral evidence against himself. A national commission should be formed to interrogate him," said former ISI chief Lt Gen (retd) Hameed Gul, who turned a strong critic of Musharraf eversince he withdrew support to Taliban government in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
Another retired ISI Chief Asad Durrani said the book "In the Line of Fire" had revealed that Pakistan's decision to support the US-led war on the Taliban was taken under threat and pressure from Washington.
Observing that Musharraf has made a "cheap attempt to gain popularity at the behest of endangering Pakistan's vital interests," Bhutto said "by violating the Official Secrets Act, Gen. Musharraf is jeopardising Pakistan's national security".
In a statement, Bhutto, who is abroad in self-exile, regretted that Musharraf was "abusing" his official position to boost his personal image.
The Daily Times quoted Durrani to say "a large segment of society thought that Pakistan had taken side with the US after 9/11, but Gen Musharraf's revelation has been a big disappointment to them".
