Ex-ISI head Zaheerul Islam wanted to overthrow government: Mushahidullah

PML-N leader Mushahidullah Khan in his interview with BBC alleged that during Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s meeting with army chief Gen Raheel Sharif on July 28, 2014, an audio tape was played in which Lt. Gen Zaheerul Islam could be heard giving orders to ransack the PM House and spread chaos. The tape, claimed the federal minister, was obtained by officials of the civilian intelligence agency – Intelligence Bureau. On hearing the audio tape, Gen Raheel summoned the ISI chief to the meeting and played the tape in front of him, said Mushahidullah. When Zaheerul Islam confirmed that the voice was his own, the army chief asked him to leave, claimed Mushahidullah in his interview with BBC.
