Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan's former dictator Pervez Musharraf has said that the controversial book co-authored by former ISI chief Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani was not a conspiracy but sheer foolishness.
Asad Durrani's name has been put on Pakistan's no-fly list and Pakistan Army has ordered a Court of Inquiry to investigate his claims mentioned in the book he co-authored with former Research and Analysis Wing chief AS Dulat.
"I was surprised when I found out that a former DG ISI and a retired RAW chief have authored a book together," said Mr Musharraf while speaking in an Express News talk show.
"How can two persons with different views co-author a book," the Dubai-based former Pakistan Army chief wondered.
The powerful military, which has ruled Pakistan for about half its history since independence in 1947, is considered a major player in the country's politics.
Referring to the Kargil operation of 1998, Mr Musharraf claimed that Mr Durrani has criticised the operation in his book because "I was able to pull it off with a reasonable success".
"An army official should be ashamed of himself for badmouthing the operation," he said.
