KARACHI: Asma Jahangir, counsel for Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani, said on Monday that Director-General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Ahmed Shuja Pasha should have resigned when Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Abbottabad, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives outside the Supreme Court, Asma said appropriate methods should be adopted to criticise the court’s decisions and a lawyer should especially be very careful in this regard.

Asma said she was disappointed that copies of Mansoor Ijaz’s reply, which was sent through an email, was immediately distributed to others but was provided after a delay to her.

Asma said she was satisfied with today’s hearing and that she was prepared to defend her client to her utmost capabilities.
