Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani in his Eidul Azha message on September 1 reached out to Pakistan offering “comprehensive negotiations” to bring peace to their troubled relationship, reports Daily Times. “Ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been steadily deteriorating amid spate of allegations about cross-border terrorism among other disputes,” the Afghan president said. While addressing political elites and journalists at the Presidential Palace, President Ghani also renewed calls for peace with the Taliban and for resuming political dialogue with Pakistan to overcome the differences. “From here, I have a message for Pakistan: We are ready for comprehensive political talks. Peace with Pakistan is in our national agenda,” Ghani said who has long been blaming Pakistan for ‘waging an undeclared war’ against Afghanistan.

The six persons accused of facilitating slain Afghan Taliban supremo Mullah Akhtar Mansoor acquire a Pakistani identity have been bailed out, The Express Tribune reported on September 2 quoting Federal Ministry for Interior records. Mullah Mansoor, along with another man, was killed when a taxicab he was travelling in was targeted by United States (US) drone near Nushki District in Balochistan in May 21, 2016. A Pakistani passport and computerised national identity card (CNIC) were found near the charred wreckage of the taxi which identified him as Wali Muhammad. A DNA test conducted on the body later confirmed it was Mullah Mansoor who had acquired Pakistani CNIC under a fake name. A subsequent investigation identified six men for facilitating Mullah Mansoor acquire a Pakistani CNIC and passport. But interestingly, all these suspects are now out on bail, while another two persons – a medical officer and wife of Mullah Mansoor – are absconding. This transpired in a report of Federal Investigation Agency’s Crime Circle Quetta which was recently submitted by the Federal Ministry for Interior in the Senate in response to a question raised by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Farhatullah Babar.

The United States (US) President Donald Trump administration has held back previously promised military aid of USD 255 million to Pakistan by attaching new conditions which, the State Department says, will allow it to review the level of its cooperation with Islamabad before making new commitments, Dawn reported on September 1. “The Department notified Congress on August 30 of our intent to obligate USD 255 million in Financial Year (FY) 2016 Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for Pakistan. At the same time, the Department is placing a pause on spending those funds and on allocating them to any specific FMF sales contracts,” said the State Department in a statement sent to Dawn. The FMF provides grants and loans to help countries purchase US weapons and defence equipment and for acquiring defence services and military training in the United States. “Consistent with our new South Asia strategy, this decision allows us the flexibility to continue reviewing our level of cooperation with Pakistan prior to committing new security assistance resources to projects in Pakistan,” the State Department said.

The Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) grouping of the five emerging economies on September 4 unequivocally named the Pakistan based groups Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as terror organisations, reports The Hindu.

Asked if the declaration will advance the effort to impose a UN ban on Masood Azhar, as an international terrorist, Preeti Saran, Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs said: “The declaration has been endorsed by all the BRICS leaders, so obviously it has the approval and endorsement of all the countries.” Making her point unambiguous that the formulation adopted at the ninth BRICS will strengthen the fight on banning terrorists and terror groups at the United Nations, Ms. Saran said: “The BRICS leaders called for greater efficiency in designation of terrorists and terror groups by United Nations Committee on terrorism.”

Further, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on September 5 said that Pakistan is "seriously concerned" about the threat posed by terrorism and extremism in the South Asian region, reports Dawn. Zakaria was speaking in reference to the BRICS' leaders summit document which named militant groups allegedly based in Pakistan as a regional security concern. "Many terrorist groups based in the region — including in Afghanistan — such as the [banned] Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and its associates like Jama’atul Ahrar (JuA) have been responsible for extreme acts of violence against Pakistani people," Zakaria said. "We are deeply concerned at the presence of [banned] groups, like Daesh, East Turkestan Islamic Movement and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, in the ungoverned spaces in Afghanistan as they pose a threat to peace and security in the region." Zakaria further said that Pakistan is concerned about the rise of extremist ideologies and intolerance in the region, which have been "encouraging social stratification and systematic targeting of minorities".

The Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) grouping of the five emerging economies on September 4 unequivocally named the Pakistan based groups Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as terror organisations, reports The Hindu. A Joint communiqué released at the BRICS summit expressed concern about the regional security situation and listed Taliban, ISIL/DAISH, al Qaeda and its affiliates including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), the Haqqani network, LeT, JeM, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) as sources of violence. Asked if the declaration will advance the effort to impose a UN ban on Masood Azhar, as an international terrorist, Preeti Saran, Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs said: “The declaration has been endorsed by all the BRICS leaders, so obviously it has the approval and endorsement of all the countries.” Making her point unambiguous that the formulation adopted at the ninth BRICS will strengthen the fight on banning terrorists and terror groups at the United Nations, Ms. Saran said: “The BRICS leaders called for greater efficiency in designation of terrorists and terror groups by United Nations Committee on terrorism.” Pakistan on September 5 rejected a declaration by the BRICS nations, including China, saying there was no "safe haven" for terrorists on its soil, reports Times of India. "We reject the declaration (released by member countries) at the BRICS Summit," Pakistan's Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir said during a meeting of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Defence. Dastgir claimed that Pakistan has no "safe haven" for terrorists on its soil. "Pakistan has taken action against all groups on its soil and only the remnants of some are left," he added. "Forty per cent of Afghanistan is a safe haven for terrorists," he added further. Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on September 5 said that Pakistan is "seriously concerned" about the threat posed by terrorism and extremism in the South Asian region, reports Dawn. Zakaria was speaking in reference to the BRICS' leaders summit document which named militant groups allegedly based in Pakistan as a regional security concern. "Many terrorist groups based in the region — including in Afghanistan — such as the [banned] Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and its associates like Jama’atul Ahrar (JuA) have been responsible for extreme acts of violence against Pakistani people," Zakaria said. "We are deeply concerned at the presence of [banned] groups, like Daesh, East Turkestan Islamic Movement and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, in the ungoverned spaces in Afghanistan as they pose a threat to peace and security in the region." Zakaria further said that Pakistan is concerned about the rise of extremist ideologies and intolerance in the region, which have been "encouraging social stratification and systematic targeting of minorities".

The United States (US) has sanctioned $33.4 billion for reimbursements to Pakistan during the past 15 years, 44% of which was on account of services that Islamabad rendered to support Washington’s anti-terror operations in Afghanistan, The Express Tribune reported on September 6. The data has been gathered by the Departments of State, Defense, Agriculture, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). By excluding the USD 14.573 billion cost of logistics and aerial support, the approved civilian and security-related aid to Pakistan from 2002 to 2016 was only USD18.8 billion, according to the statistics compiled by US authorities. Withheld money is a repayment, not an aid, Pakistan tells US. Compared to the actual foreign aid of USD 18.8 billion to Pakistan, the Finance Ministry’s statistics showed that Islamabad sustained USD 123.13 billion losses on account of the war against terrorism since 9/11. But Washington’s economic leverage over Islamabad has significantly reduced since 2014, as it came down to USD 1.6 billion per annum against the average of USD 2.3 billion per annum between 2002 and 2013. This includes reimbursements from the Coalition Support Fund (CSF) that is technically not aid but service payments for providing logistical and operational support to the US-led military operations in Afghanistan. By excluding the CSF-related payments to Pakistan, US assistance to Pakistan from 2014 to 2016 was USD 810 million per annum against the average of USD 1.4 billion during the 2002-2013 period, according to the statistics. The flow of funds from the US to Pakistan saw another drastic reduction in 2017. US economic assistance historically remained around 1% of Pakistan’s budget, which can easily be met from other sources.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on September 6 said that Pakistan has done much in war against terrorism and urged the world to do more to curb this menace, reports The News. He was addressing Pakistan's 52nd Defence Day ceremony held to tribute the martyrs of the 1965 war. While urging the world to acknowledge Pakistan’s great sacrifices in war against terrorism, The COAS said, “despite all our countless sacrifice and over decades of war, we are being told that we have not done enough against terrorism." While highlighting Pakistan's efforts to eradicate terrorism and to stabilize peace in the region Army chief said that only Pakistan has seen this level of success within limited resources from the operations carried out to wipe out the terrorists from its soil like Sher Dil, Rah-i-Rast, Rah-i-Nijat, Zarb-i-Azab and now Radd-ul-Fasaad. "We have paid for each inch of gains with our blood", said COAS. "And now, I say that the world must do more." Referring to recent allegations leveled by US President Donald Trump over Pakistan, COAS said, Pakistan’s share in the war is more than any other country. He further said, "if Pakistan has not done enough in this war, then no country in the world has done anything”. In response to Trump's criticism in which he claimed that they had given "billions and billions of dollars" in aid to Pakistan, General Bajwa said that Pakistan does not want aid. He said, "we want your respect and confidence, appreciation and acknowledgement of our actions and sacrifices."

Pakistan is among the top 50 countries with high terrorism financing and money laundering risks, according to a latest report by The Basel Institute on Governance, a Swiss group, reports Daily Excelsior on September 7. The group in its 2017 edition of the Basel Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Index which has assessed 146 countries regarding money laundering and terrorism financing risks said that Afghanistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka stand out with particular high risk scores in the Index. Pakistan has been placed on the 46th position in the list of 146 countries which have been given marks on a scale of 0 — low risk to 10 — high risk, by the Switzerland-based independent not-for-profit competence center. The average risk score this year is equal to 6.15. The 10 countries with the highest AML risk are Iran, Afghanistan, Guinea-Bissau, Tajikistan, Laos, Mozambique, Mali, Uganda, Cambodia and Tanzania while the three lowest risk countries are Finland, followed by Lithuania and Estonia, the group said in a recent report published on its website. Top-ranked Iran has scored 8.60 marks and bottom-ranked Finland 3.04. Pakistan has been given 6.64 marks, above this year’s average of 6.18. The greatest improvements since 2016 have been made by Sudan, Taiwan, Israel and Bangladesh while the countries that deteriorated most severely in their scores in 2017 are Jamaica, Tunisia, Hungary, Uzbekistan and Peru, it said. In South Asia, Afghanistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka have been given 8.38, 7.57 and 7.15 marks and placed on the second, 14th and 25th ranks respectively.

Pakistan on September 6 admitted for the first time that internationally proscribed terrorist outfits, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), were operating from within its territory, with Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif calling for tougher action against these groups, reports Times of India. "We should impose restrictions on activities of elements like LeT and JeM so that we can show the global community that we've put our house in order," Asif told during an interview with Geo News while responding to a BRICS declaration that named several terrorist groups, including the two, as threats to regional security. "I am not making any political statement.. we cannot afford to shut our eyes on activities of these organisations in our country. If we continue to do that we will always face such embarrassments." Asif said Pakistan could no longer afford to "test" its friends on the issue of terrorism. "Friends like China should not be tested every time, particularly in the changed (global) scenario," the Minister added. Foreign Minister Asif admitted that Pakistan had made mistakes in the past, saying there was no need for the country to participate in the proxy war in Afghanistan during Zia ul Haq's tenure, and later in the war on terror. "There's an urgent need for a clean break from our past. In 1979, Pakistan had made a wrong decision and acted like a proxy for the next decade. After 9/11, we again made a wrong decision and adopted a war, which was never ours. We have suffered uncountable losses of lives and properties in this war," he said. Asif said Pakistan needed to get rid of its false image. "We've no stakes involved but are only carrying the baggage of our past follies. We cannot correct ourselves as long as we do not accept historical facts," he said.

While encouraging members of the BRICS to continue playing a constructive role in stabilising the world, the United States (US) reminded Pakistan on September 6 that it “must change its approach” to terrorism, reports Dawn. “We encourage the BRICS Forum to contribute constructively to global governance and stability,” said a spokesperson for the US State Department when asked to comment on the BRICS statement. The US official also welcomed BRICS’ condemnation of North Korea’s recent nuclear test and then reminded Pakistan of the need to fight all militant groups operating in the South Asian region, including those that Washington claims are based in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). “As the (Trump) administration has said, Pakistan must change its approach. We look to the Pakistani government to take decisive action against militant groups based in Pakistan that are a threat to the region,” the State Department added.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on September 7 refused to recognise the Milli Muslim League (MML) — a political front of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) — as a legitimate political party and warned electoral candidates not to use the party’s name in election campaigns, reports Dawn. In Lahore, the returning officer (RO) for the by-poll in NA-120 restrained Sheikh Mohammad Yaqoob from displaying photos of the proscribed organisation’s leaders on his campaign banners.

A spokesperson for the ECP clarified that Yaqoob, who was contesting the by-poll as an independent candidate, had been allotted the symbol of an energy saver. He said action would be taken under the ECP’s code of conduct if Yaqoob failed to comply with the returning officer’s directives.

Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on September 11 said it would be counter-productive for the United States to sanction Pakistani officials or further cut military assistance, warning it would hurt both countries' fight against militancy, reports Times of India. "We are fighting the war against terror, anything that degrades our effort will only hurt the US effort," Abbasi said in an interview in Islamabad. "If the military aid cuts degrade our effort to fight war on terror, who does it help?" he said. "Whatever needs to be done here, it needs to be a cooperative effort." "We've had to look at other options to maintain our national defensive forces," he said. "We have a major economic relationship with (China), we have a major military relationship since the 1960s, so that's definitely one of our options," he said. US-Pakistan relations have frayed since President Donald Trump last month set out a new Afghanistan policy and lashed out at nuclear-armed Pakistan as a fickle ally that gives safe haven to "agents of chaos" by harbouring the Afghan Taliban and other militants. The United States has already begun conditioning future aid to Pakistan on progress Islamabad makes in tackling the Haqqani network militants who it alleges are Pakistan-based and have helped the Taliban carry out deadly attacks inside Afghanistan.

Punjab Government on September 12 opposed the release of mastermind of Mumbai terror attack and chief of Jama’at-ul-Dawa (JuD), Hafiz Saeed, informing the Lahore High Court that freeing the cleric from house arrest is likely to create unrest in the province, reports Times of India. Punjab Home Department submitted a written reply in the court during the hearing of an appeal for Saeed's release, stating that he was put under house arrest under the anti-terrorism laws to stop him from collecting funds — which is a violation of various resolutions of the United Nations. A K Khokar, Saeed's counsel, argued in court that his client's detention was illegal and baseless, thus the order of keeping him under house arrest be immediately withdrawn. "The defendant was put under house arrest after the US threatened to cut Pakistan's aid, it was done without any cases being registered against him," Khokhar told the court. The judges, however, pointed out to Saeed's lawyer that he had not mentioned about US's alleged pressure in the case. They said that the defendant's application is based on a news clipping. Punjab's home department, however, pointed out that various cases were registered against members of JuD for collecting hides during the three days of Eid-ul-Azha in contempt of the ministry's orders. "Cases were also registered against the party for collecting funds in contempt of the provincial ministry's orders," the reply said. The court asked Khokhar to come up with more argument in the next hearing and adjourned the case until September 15.

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on September 14 said that two “high-profile militants” of the banned Lashkar-i-Jhangvi (LeJ) who earlier escaped from Karachi’s Central Jail had crossed over to Afghanistan from the Chaman border in Balochistan, reports Dawn. In a report submitted to the Sindh Home Ministry on the orders of Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah, the CTD said that the Police party tailing Shaikh Muhammad Mumtaz alias Firaun, and Muhammad Ahmed Khan alias Munna, failed to arrest the two men. The fugitives had broken out from Karachi's Central Jail on June 13 following a shocking lapse of security at the facility. The two had been arrested in 2013 by the CTD for their alleged involvement in the killing of over 60 people, mainly members of the Shia community and law enforcers. The report also said that the two militants' facilitators were in Police custody and were being interrogated at the moment. Discussing the prisoners' escape to Afghanistan, CM Murad Ali Shah later said that: "We are investigating how the escaped militants reached Afghanistan and the people who aided them in fleeing will be punished." "Those whose irresponsibility resulted in the escape of the prisoners [from Central Jail] were punished and sent to jail, but the courts set them free by granting them bail," he added while addressing the media during a visit to Sufi saint Abdullah Shah Ghazi's shrine.

Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan said on September 15 that it is not Islamabad's job to satisfy the US, and added that his Government is currently "reassessing" ties with Washington, reports Times of India. "We are here to give our point of view logically and with evidence. We will explain our position. But it's not for us to satisfy them," said Khurram Dastgir Khan said. The "reassessment" of ties with the US is a result of the US President last month roundly criticising Pakistan for "hosting terror safe havens". He said the situation in the region was a "challenge" for Pakistan because the US "keeps changing the goalposts". He didn't appear to have elaborated on what these "changes" were.

Meanwhile, Sindh Government has shifted some 90 “high-profile” inmates from the Central Prison Karachi to jails in other Districts of the province and Rawalpindi (Punjab) on advice of intelligence and law enforcement agencies, an official confirmed to Dawn on September 19. The key report about illegal activities of the inmates inside the prison came from the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), which recommended their shifting from the central prison to other such facilities in Sindh and Punjab to “break an organised network”. The move came after a series of meetings on the issue of jails’ security, the official added. “The process began in July 2017,” he said. “The high-profile militants belonging to banned outfits, both under trial as well as those serving their terms, were shifted from Karachi Central Prison to jails in other parts of the province. So far 90 have been moved and under the plan some 270 would face the same fate. More inmates would be transferred to other jails in phases.” The move is meant to break an ‘organised network’ and improve prison security Of the 90 prisoners, he said, two had been moved to a prison in Rawalpindi, eight to Larkana and 80 to Sukkur jail.

Unless the “core issue” of Kashmir is resolved first, there can be no progress in ties with India, Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said on September 20, reports Times of India. Pakistan won’t accept Indian role in Afghanistan, says PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. PM Abbasi was interacting with an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in New York. He is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly on September 21. “…I think we need to engage on core issues. Those have to be resolved first, and Kashmir is the basic core issue there,” the Pakistani PM said, adding that “in the recent past the aggression from India has continued unabated, and that is not acceptable.” “And we want normal relations with India, but on the basis of trust and respect,” he said, when asked about what did he foresee on ties with India. In response to questions on the deteriorating relations between the US and Pakistan and the Donald Trump administration’s decision to suspend the strategic dialogue between the two countries, Mr. Abbasi said “We’re engaged at various levels. And our objective is the same, to find peace in Afghanistan, to develop the relationship further. And relationships have their ups and downs. … And I think the engagement will continue. And I think any misconceptions will go away. We remain a partner in the war against terror,” he said. Mr. Abbasi was defiant on the issue of American drone attacks on Pakistani soil. “No, no. We cannot condone that. We cannot allow that. I think the sovereignty of our territory has to be respected,” he said in response to a question. The Pakistani leader accused India of aggression along the Line of Control, “mostly to draw attention away from the genuine struggle of the Kashmiri people, who have today risen against the Indian occupation there.”

Through a video message on a social networking site, Parvez Musharraf said Asif Zardari has levelled allegations against him for the murder of Benazir Bhutto. “I want to reveal that the real mastermind behind this gory incident is Asif Ali Zardari,” he said. Parvez Musharraf said he is addressing Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Aseefa and Bakhtawar in particular, and then the people of Sindh and every citizen of Pakistan in general who were aggrieved by the death of Benazir Bhutto, “There is no doubt that (former TTP chief) Baitullah Mehsud and his accomplices murdered Benazir Bhutto but the real mastermind must be investigated. It needs to be seen who benefited from the murder of Benazir Bhutto and who remained at loss. As far as I am concerned, I was at loss but Zardari took full benefit of it,” he said. It may be mentioned here that Zardari on September 18 filed an appeal against the judgment of Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) at the Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi bench where he sought death penalty for Musharraf alleging his role in the Benazir Bhutto murder case.

Pakistan refuses to be a "scapegoat" for Afghanistan´s bloodshed or to fight wars for others, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi told the United Nations General Assembly on September 21, reports The News. Addressing the UN General Assembly, Abbasi did not explicitly criticize US President Donald Trump´s new strategy on Afghanistan but made clear his displeasure with the renewed onus on Pakistan. "Having suffered and sacrificed so much due to our role in the global counter terrorism campaign, it is especially galling for Pakistan to be blamed for the military or political stalemate in Afghanistan," Abbasi said. "We are not prepared to be anyone´s scapegoat," he said. "What Pakistan is not prepared to do is to fight the Afghan war on Pakistan´s soil. Nor can we endorse any failed strategy that will prolong and intensify the suffering of the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan and other regional countries," he said.

According to a recent report by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), Pakistan has stored its nuclear forces at nine different locations across the country, Times of India reported on September 25. Renowned United States (US) nuclear weapon expert and co-author of the report Hans Kristensen said Pakistan's nuclear warheads may be located in storage facilities near the bases the report identifies, and that these bases themselves appear to house nuclear-capable launchers that would use those warheads. The report describes the launcher bases to give readers an impression of the extent to which Pakistan's nuclear forces are being dispersed across the country. Kristensen said that because Pakistan was building a short-range sub-strategic nuclear arsenal (in addition to its longer-range force), the warheads would likely be distributed to regional storage sites from which they could be assembled and transported to the launcher bases. "Since the shorter-range systems are intended to be used earlier in a conflict below the strategic level, weapons for these systems would likely be distributed early in a crisis and raise the risk of accident and incidents. If used against conventional attacks, use of the tactical nuclear weapons would likely lead to escalation to a wider nuclear war quickly," said Kristensen.

Afghanistan today didn't mince words in declaring at the UN that terror in Afghanistan is the "product of (a) long-standing policy" of Pakistan, Times of India reported on September 27. "The scourge of terrorism affecting Afghanistan is (a) product of (the) long-standing policy by a neighbouring State to keep Afghanistan unstable," said Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani at no less a forum than the UN Security Council (UNSC). Afghanistan also said that that terror's "roots are located in terrorist sanctuaries and safe havens outside" its borders. "Despite being on (the) receiving-end of provocative actions, we have maintained a principled position in seeking to resolve differences through dialogue, diplomacy and peaceful means...Pakistan has so far failed to respond positively at its own cost, particularly in relation to its global reputation and standing," added the Afghan Foreign Minister. With its unequivocal declarations, Afghanistan today joined US President Donald Trump, the BRICS countries, Japan and India in naming and shaming Pakistan, a country many have come to call a "terrorist state".

One Intelligence Bureau (IB) official, Sub-Inspector Malik Mukhtar Ahmed Shahzad on September 26 accused his own agency of protecting terror groups in a petition in the Islamabad high court, and questioned the agency for not taking any action against suspected terrorists, reports Times of India. Malik Mukhtar Ahmed Shahzad in the petition requested for a thorough investigation against his seniors by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). "The issue of connivance, complacency and involvement of official of IB and other senior bureaucrats raised in the petition may graciously be entrusted to the ISI for investigation," the petitioner requested the court.Shahzad, who joined the IB in 2007, has alleged that the agency did not take any action against terror organisations with roots in Uzbekistan, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and India despite concrete evidence against them. His petition names several Pakistan IB officials, including a Joint Director General, Directors and Deputy Directors as conspirators in the matter. Shahzad added that the matter was even reported to the IB Director General but no action was taken. While alleging that many of his seniors were on the payroll of foreign intelligence agencies to protect terrorists, Shahzad stated, "Upon thorough intelligence gathering process, it transpired that certain high officials of the IB themselves are directly involved with the terrorist organisations having linkages with hostile enemy intelligence agencies." Shahzad added that he "has been running from pillar to post including approaching the prime minister to raise this issue of national security and protection of lives of the citizen of this country but in vain."
