They are being charged soon, Interior Minister Lt Gen (retired) Moinuddin Haider said on Thursday that former army chief General Mirza Aslam Beg and former ISI chief General Hameed Gul should be held accountable for creating Islami Jhamoori Ittehad (IJI) in 1988 against the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) without the knowledge and consent of the then army high command (GHQ). To a question stressing that the army should also share the responsibility of strengthening the religious groups and use them as a tool against the political parties and destabilise the politically elected governments in the country since 1985, the minister said he served in the army for 37 years and attended many high-level meetings during this period, but he was unaware of such decisions that involved creation of religious parties alliance or distribution of money among the politicians. He said he also served for seven years in the GHQ but never heard a single word about such decisions that were taken by these generals in their personal capacities. The minister also admitted his government's failure in stopping the huge funding to the religious groups and parties being made by some Muslim states.
