KARACHI, Jan 13 A growing number of middle-ranking officers working for the Intelligence Bureau (IB) are desperate to leave the spy agency seeking other options, well-placed sources have told Dawn.
There is a growing feeling within the agency that it stands today “no more than a sarkari ahbaar with its officers collecting reports from TV and friends in journalism”, said an Islamabad-based assistant director at the IB.
“We simply collect these IR (information reports), put them together in the form of a DSR (daily situation report) and forward it to the prime minister,” he said, adding that “journalists are quicker and tend to know more than us anyway”.
