The other problem is that precipitating matters would give the Pakistan army an upper hand, even reverse the negative perception about it among ordinary Pakistanis. The Pakistan army could use this as an excuse to move troops from the troubled north-west to the borders with India, complicating matters for the US-led war on terror in Afghanistan. Sources said the Pakistan army has shown it has a different agenda from the government there. While the civilian government was in favour of a meeting between ISI chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha and RAW chief Ashok Chaturvedi, it was rejected by the Pakistani military.
