PM Gilani sacks National Security Advisor Durrani

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday sacked his national security adviser Mahmud Ali Durrani apparently for leaking classified information to the media regarding investigation conducted by Pakistan in connection with the Mumbai attacks, an official announcement said.
The notification issued from Prime Minister House said Mr Durrani was sacked for his irresponsible behaviour for not taking the Prime Minister and other stakeholders into confidence and for lack of coordination on matters on national security.
However, Mr Durrani said he was not officially informed about his removal from the office of national security adviser.
Prime Minister Gilani reportedly said Durrani had issued media statements without seeking clearance from him and taking him into confidence.
A senior government official told Dawn that whatever India was saying it was through its foreign office but in Pakistan everyone was giving his/her own statements that could harm the country's interests.
Durrani reportedly told Indian media that the lone terrorist captured during Mumbai attacks Ajmal Amir Kasab was Pakistani national.

So why don't you expose the details of the open secret? How was Durrani involved and what part did he play in the whole plot? Since you called him a bastard I guess you aren't really afraid of anyone so why keep this conspiracy a secret. Why not tell the details?

Reading all these posts and now the news from Dawn, I'd say good riddance.
It's a good way to show who's in charge, and that's the Government of Pakistan, united, and not divided.
We can't have people running around telling media sensitive information.
So far, Pakistan has handled the situation regarding the Mumbai blasts fairly calm and cool, you can say she handled it accordingly.
With blunders like these, the GoP loses its credibility and all the progress made so far regarding the situation around the Mumbai blasts and Indias beliggerent stance towards Pakistan.
Anyways, we gotta wait and see how this will continue, I fully support the GoP in their upcoming actions, as long as they do not show any sign of weakness to the Indians, we can be satisfied.

Families of Gen. Zia and Gen. Akhtar have said this on many occasions that both generals were neither required nor willing to see the bloody tank test.
Durrani is the guy who convinced them that this exercise is a must see.
Gen. Mirza Aslam Baig called him a US spy today.
I have no doubt that this guy is one of the many US agents.
Why would someone break this kind of news to the media specially when one has no jurisdiction over this.

As per my information, Zardari had received a call from Pranab Mukherji asking to send the DG ISI to India. Zardari called in Gillani to only 'discuss' this matter. Gillani in turn got a bit excited and asked his son on what should be done. His son, after consulting with the PM House Press Secretary (who was later fired), told his father to give a press release......the rest is history!
The MAIN reason of the present (M Durrani being fired) and the previous (DG ISI to India) has resulted mainly due to the lack of cohesion between the President and the PM. The President is treading on PM's job by taking executive decisions and then asking Gillani to approve them. Gillani is now finally getting extremely annoyed at the Presidency and hence the recent assertion of executive powers to fire the NSA.
We are now heading towards a President-PM showdown and most likely the PM would be the likely casualty as Zaradri now thinks himself as the Karta Dharta of PPP!

Now another question comes up in my mind. Obviously his timing was set to sabotage pakistani negotiations--but did he act on his own as a MOLE in the govt or was he sacrificed like a PAWN in a little gambit masterminded by Zardari? Can anyone comment if Zardari was 100% on board with this disasterous move and instructed Durrani to make this blunder? Or was Durrani working against the wishes of Zardari. Right now all the attention is on Durrani(and a little bit on Sherry Rehman)but where does Zardari fit in. Was Zardari actually working for Pakistan here and he got backstabbed by Durrani or did they both create this drama together and sacrificed Durrani for their goal?
And how do people know Durrani is a CIA agent. Why can't he be a RAW agent?

Haqqani, Haroon rush to Pakistan
Thursday, January 08, 2009
By Azim M Mian
NEW YORK: The statement by National Security Adviser General (retd) Mehmud Ali Durrani and his subsequent dismissal has created a difficult situation for Pakistan in Washington and world capitals.
To consider the situation and review the strategy, both the Pakistani ambassadors departed for home coincidently on the same day, sources told The News.
According to the sources, Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani and Permanent Representative to the UN in New York Abdullah Hussain Haroon have left for Pakistan for necessary consultations and new directions to deal with the situation arising out of developments and changed situation in the last two days. The statement, admitting that Ajmal Kasab is a Pakistani national, has generated some difficulties for the Pakistani government in Washington and elsewhere, whereas it also indicates that the Zardari government has a weak control over its advisers and ministers, who are at liberty to make loose statements on sensitive issues.
Departure of the two Pakistani ambassadors has been confirmed by their offices in New York and Washington.
Meanwhile, responding to a phone call, Ambassador Hussain Haqqani confirmed that he was in transit at the Dubai Airport for his Pakistan-bound flight. He told this correspondent that his visit to Pakistan was scheduled for some time for the reason to meet his mother and other family members. He said once he is in Pakistan, he would visit the Foreign Office for consultations. Ambassador Haqqani is expected to be back in Washington within a week to finalise the forthcoming visit of President Zardari to Washington in late January.
Due to his sudden departure, Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon could not participate in the UN Security Council debate on Gaza, and Pakistani Deputy Permanent Representative Farooq Amil delivered a strong-worded speech against the Israeli attacks.

Durranis sacking may cause trouble for govt.: Dr. Farrukh Salim
Updated at: 1909 PST, Thursday, January 08, 2009
KARACHI: The government will have to face more troubles over sacking of national security adviser Mahmud Ali Durrani, Dr. Farrukh Salim, an expert on international affairs said Thursday.
Speaking to Geo News here, Salim said efforts were underway to weaken Pakistan, adding that Durranis statement could be the part of this international conspiracy.
The government, he said, had divided in safeguarding the interest of Pakistan and Washington. He further said that world powers had engulfed Pakistan in view of the shaky relations between civil and military bureaucracy and the government.

A simplest answer to all those questions about ZIA crash and Maj Gen Durrani lies in an exclusive edition of a magazine which was published on 17th Aug 1992....the name of the Magazine was Takbeer....
This issue was a sooooper hit over 3 different edition of the issue was published,the issue contains not only contain Exclusive pictures of C-130's wreckage but it also contains prints of secret Documents,letters too....and it has all answers....
The dilemma of situation is that the editor of this magazine was brutally assassinated and later on the magazine went in financial crisis and its publications stopped.
