ISLAMABAD: While the controversy and mystery surrounding the arrest of PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz’s husband is nowhere near settling down, former prime minister and PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday said security agencies take their orders from the prime minister, implying the involvement of the highest office in the incident. Speaking to media in Islamabad, Abbasi observed the institutions such as the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Rangers take their orders directly from the premier, saying the ultimate responsibility of the whole incident falls on Prime Minister Imran Khan. Someone gave them instructions and that person can only be the prime minister. The officials of these institutions take their orders from the country’s premier,” he said. We expected that our courts that have taken notice of mere transfers of officials would have taken suo motu notice,” he said.
