why are DG ISI and DG MI giving briefings to parliamentarians?
They should give briefings to President, COAS, DGMO, and other military officers. This democracy thing is going too far in my opinion. Don't know what the constitution says in this regard?

Yes, they are, but they are answerable to the NA? Not to the president or PM? That is my point.
But, if it is a defence committee of the NA, then it is fine.

Constitutionally PA is answerable to the PM (President is a supreme commander of Army), so indirectly PA is answerable to NA.
However National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence takes care of issue related to the defence as it has mandate of entire parliament(Government+Opposition).
Open for corrections.

Read the news item carefully please. The briefing involves the DG ISI and DGMO, not DGMI.
The DGMO is the person responsible for every operation undertaken by the PA in the Northern Areas/Agencies and as such he can speak to everything factually. The DG ISI reports to the PM and as such is the right person to be presenting to the PM's cabinet.

The PA, like the other sister services have the President of Pakistan as their Commander in Chief. The PM is only responsible for advising the President on security matters but has no direct oversight or command of the armed forces.
However the PA, like all other services are absolutely answerable to the PEOPLE of Pakistan who are represented by the National Assembly. So all of what is happening is constitutional and should happen a whole lot more. It only adds to transparency and oversight.
In the long run, greater involvement from the civilian government will mean that the rest of the world will stop calling out the Army as something different from the Pakistani government when they refer to the security policies of Pakistan. Currently the perception is that all the policies emanate from the GHQ, and this perception has to be negated and the only way to do so is to give the civilians greater oversight over the policies and this starts with such discussions and presentations to civilian government representatives.
