ISLAMABAD: The military’s public affairs wing — Inter Services Public Relations — on Saturday condemned the attack on TV anchor Hamid Mir and called for an urgent probe into the incident, which is being blamed on the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). The ISPR spokesman said an “independent inquiry” was needed for ascertaining facts.

**it would be highly appreciable if ISPR looks into the matter. Government must act to to reveal this conspiracy against the journalism , and justice must be served. If there is any proof (tape recording, documents) then it must be presented in the court so that there would be no further baseless allegations against any institutions or journalist. There is a proper law for everything and ISI(IF ISI is the guilty) must obey this law because no one is above the law.**
