Possibility of funding given to BNP in 1991 for elections

[nemesis102]

Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has admitted to meddling in India's Northeast and funding the right-wing Bangladesh National Party (BNP) during the 1991 general elections in that country.
The admission came from no less than former ISI chief Asad Durrani during a Pakistan Supreme Court hearing on the spy agency's mandate on Wednesday.
A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary grilled the former spy agency chief on ISI's funding for politicians both within and outside Pakistan.
Recently a UAE-based daily had alleged that ISI paid Rs 50 crore to BNP chairperson and former PM Khaleda Zia ahead of the 1991 elections in which the BNP won and formed the government.
There are allegations that the ISI has been active in Bangladesh whenever the BNP has been in power (1991-96) and later during 2001-06.
The spy agency was also alleged to have launched a campaign from Bangladesh to destabilise the Northeast by patronising and providing logistic support, including funds, to the insurgent groups operating from Bangladesh.
The ISI is alleged to have supported a network in Bangladesh, which includes the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI), the BNP and Northeast rebel groups during the BNP's rule.

I think what u Indians did in 1971. Someone has to payback for it and who will be better other than ISI for such a task.

Good going ISI.

And Baluchistan is completely a different ball game , in 71 there was a big area between east and west Pakistan which was difficult to control but in Baluchistan there is no other than Balochistan(Pakistan) and Iran's border and SEA of course.

Now Pakistan army has learnt its lesson and knows how to deal with small miscreants of BLA.

No, 1971 was a revenge for sending intruders to kashmir in 1947,1965 ,Balochistan is the payback for supporting Khalistan and still pending....

I am not sure if anyone takes dailymail seriously. Can we get a more authentic source?

And even this article is talking about a "former chief". How does that even remotely mean ISI making an admission?

ISI doesn't even exist. Media has created this hysteria about an ISI and Government feeds people news about an ISI, it never really existed.

First of all its all speculation and hearsay. But if ISI have been getting up to no good I am pleased. After all what are Indians doing with several consulates in Afghanistan-tourism I suppose. It would be good that ISI is paying them back in kind

What is speculation. the fact that hearing is going on in pakistan supreme court, or that the former chief has disclosed this in front of judge?

Of course. Both our spy agencies are ranked top 10 in the world and our agendas are destabilizing eachother. ISI supports the insurgency in the northeast of India, while RAW supports insurgency in Balochistan. No one can deny that.
