When the war was over, Ayub appointed General Yahya Khan to chair a committee to evaluate the ISI and its subdivisions . From 1983 to 1997, the ISI reportedly trained over 80,000 Afghan Mujahideen for campaigns in Afghanistan. During the 1990s, the ISI grew into a powerful and questionable organization.

ISI is working to fight off CIA, RAW, Mossad and Afghan secret service. They have done a great job against them. But how can you defend when your own government (PPP) works against you and the country?

Our ISI is the best agency and they know what they were born for!
They are well aware of their duties to serve the nation and raise the flag and our heads high for Pakistan.

Sir we are not the economy of yahood or nasara but we have to the muslim nations to protect their rights by any means necessary

Spy game is not that easy how we think about it. it is a derrerent field at-all.
when you enter some field etc. medical , engeneering, computer you come to know things about that field so spying is not our field and we cannot say any thing com4m about these games which are being played now in Pak or around the world . some times spy agencies wait for result for very long time they dont react in rush they wait for right time so they can unleash all the network. I listned Brg. Imtiaz and what i remember they waited for some agents who were working against Pakistan for round about 2 years (what i remember) so it is not that easy.

you have to give exam on css papers which is referred to it
the first question is about an essay topic which is about 2500 to 3000 words
and the other is about the discussion on current affairs or Pakistan relations and its political ground
 
.
you really dont have to worry what the world says
but do remember this
many people have written history along with their failures but what made them famous
was their hardworking and confidence in themselves
like Churchill who never passed his english papers but is one of the top most debaters
Einstein failed and teachers degraded him but now his theory is the essential part of advancement
