"Indian spy agency RAW and ISI have been fighting against each other since long and now ISI's former boss talks about some controversial matters. Now the criticism will be diverted to Pakistan Army, pressing it to keep its own house in order," Nazir said.The powerful military, which has ruled Pakistan for about half its history since independence in 1947, is considered a major player in the country's politics.The release of the book has sparked accusations of treachery against the former spy chief after his candid views on various matters of regional and global concern came under intense public scrutiny, the Dawn newspaper reported.Nazir said Durrani unveiled some top events in Pakistan which were highly classified. ""While the book is formulated as a discussion between two former intelligence chiefs, we have to understand with the current climate against Pakistan, this book is a landmine. ""With the elections on horizon, Durrani's statements paint a very negative image of the Pakistan Army and the ISI in relation to events that happened in the past and continue to affect Pakistan's domestic and regional policy," he said.According to him who is also the writer of a spy novel, Agency Rules, it should also be taken into consideration that he [Durrani] did not leave Pakistan Army under stellar conditions. He was deposed as DG-ISI and forced to retire early.
