Islamabad: Pakistan's Federal Investigation has formed a committee to probe the distribution of Rs 140 million among politicians by the ISI for rigging the 1990 general election.
The government, acting on an order issued by the Supreme Court last year, formed the four-member FIA team to investigate the disbursal of money by intelligence agencies.
The committee will have to collect evidence against then army chief Gen (retired) Mirza Aslam Beg and former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen (retired) Asad Durrani for their alleged role in funding a group of politicians to ensure the Pakistan People's Party's defeat in 1990.
The FIA team headed by Additional Director General Muhammad Ghalib Bandesha will question persons named in the order issued by the Supreme Court in response to a petition filed by Tehrik-e-Istiqlal chief Air Marshal (retired) Asghar Khan, The Express Tribune reported today.
