Islamabad: The Pakistan army has summoned former Inter-Services Intelligence Chief Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani on Monday to the General Headquarters to explain his co-authoring a controversial book with a former Indian intelligence chief.
"He will be asked to explain his position on views attributed to him in the book 'Spy Chronicles'. Attribution (is being) taken as (a) violation of Military Code of Conduct applicable on all serving and retired military personnel," The Express Tribune reported citing an announcement made by DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor via Twitter.
Mr Durrani has co-authored 'The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace' with former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) chief Amarjit Singh Dulat and Indian journalist Aditya Sinha.
He also went on to suggest that Pakistan mishandled the case of convicted Indian national Kulbushan Jadhav, claiming he would eventually be handed over to India.
It was because of this reason Mr Durrani was asked to clarify his position in the context of the military code of conduct that bars any serving or retired military official from making remarks that compromise the country's national security.
The development came after several people including politicians questioned how a retired general could co-author a book with a former RAW chief.
