ISLAMABAD, 09 November 2021, (TON): Parliamentarians from treasury and opposition appreciated the briefing by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on national security, among other issues, expressing satisfaction over the measures to counter threats.

The briefing was held on Monday to take the lawmakers into confidence on a multitude of issues, including foreign affairs and external challenges.

During the session at the Parliament House, the Parliamentary Committee on National Security was briefed by the Director-General ISI Lt Gen Faiz Hameed about the regional and political challenges, especially the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Afghanistan.

The participants lauded measures taken by the elite intelligence institution in countering and neutralising multiple threats, particularly from its eastern neighbour using the Afghan soil and the intelligence agency NDA for its ulterior objectives.

Due to the effective countermeasures, Pakistan, today, is a safe country for investors and tourists alike.

The participants who requested not to be named due to the sensitivity of the in-camera briefing said the success of the countermeasures could be gauged from the fact that now limited intelligence-based operations (IBOs) are being conducted by the army.

They added that the hostile intelligence agencies are finding it difficult to carry out subversive activities.
