RAWALPINDI: A senior Pakistan Army official has been arrested due to his links with a banned outfit, DG ISPR told media.
According DG ISPR, Major-General Athar Abbas, Brigadier Ali Khan who was on a routine GHQ posting is being probed and any further information would hamper the probe.
He added that the Army had a strict system of internal security and no one was allowed to violate Army discipline. No further details were provided about the Brigadier.
According to sources, the detained brigadier was in contact with the Hizb-ul-Tehrir.
Hizb-ul-Tehrir was banned during the tenure of President Musharraf in 2004. It is active in Britain and other western countries.
It is unfortunate that the extremists have penetrated so deep into this prestigious institution. Steps should be taken to curb such activities.
if he is involved with having links with terrorists outfit then this is sad news for Pakistan. This is damaging Pakistan’s and Army’s image all over the world.
