Politician would have been declared 'traitor' for writing book with an Indian: Raza Rabbani

Former chairman Senate Raza Rabbani has criticized the teaming up of the former chiefs of India and Pakistan spy agencies to write a book.

While addressing the Senate session on Friday Rabbani stated, “it is shocking to see that on one hand the relations between India and Pakistan are at all-time low level and on the other hand former spy chiefs of both the countries are teaming up to write a book.

“If any civilian or politician teamed up with a counterpart to write a book he or she would have been labelled as a traitor”, he further added.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif also said that an emergency meeting of National Security Committee (NSC) should be called over the book written by ex-chiefs of intelligence agencies of both the countries.

Durrani’s book should be discussed in NSC meeting he further added.

A book named “Spy ChroniclesRAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace ” written by the former chief of Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), AS Dulat and ex-chief of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant General (retd) Asad Durrani, has been making headlines even before it hits the shelves.

It is the first-ever effort by two former chiefs of rival spy agencies to write a book.
