Daily Times, November 15, 2006
ISLAMABAD: Major (r) Tanvir Hussain Syed, parliamentary defence secretary, disclosed on Tuesday that he was once a member of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LT). “I was a member of the LT and I admit it on the floor of this house,” he told the National Assembly while taking part in a debate on Bajaur and Dargai. The secretary did not explain what role he played in the banned outfit and when he joined it. The retired major claimed that Indian consulates in Afghanistan played a part in the Dargai suicide attack. “The government wanted to resolve all disputes through dialogue, but if someone opens fire on the army, our jawans will reply,” he said. irfan ghauri
