Islamabad: A major shake-up is underway in Pakistan's intelligence apparatus, with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to do away with its political role, a domestic private television channel reported on Tuesday.
Quoting unidentified sources, the Dawn News channel said the political wing of the ISI would be shifted to the civilian intelligence bureau and thus brought under the prime minister's control.
It said the ISI would no longer report to the president and send its secret reports to the prime minister while the military intelligence would report to the chief of army staff and its reports would be shared with the corps commanders. The civilian intelligence bureau under its new chief appointed recently by the Pakistan Peoples Party-led coalition government is already under control of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani.
