No question of any purge in ISI: Sherry

Sherry was quoted by the news agency as saying: “Years of backing an anti-Soviet jihad has left its mark. “There are probably still individuals within the ISI who are ideologically sympathetic to the Taliban and act on their own in ways that are not in convergence with the policies and interests of the government. We need to identify these people and weed them out.”

In a statement issued here on Friday, she  asserted that during Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and resultant Afghan Jehad days a few pro Jehad elements might have found their way in but with the change in Afghan policy these elements were firmly rooted out.
