Haqqani to return tonight

Pakistan's Ambassador to US Hussain Haqqani

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani has departed from US and will arrive in Islamabad tonight, according to local media sources.
A source confirmed to Pakistan Today that the government had been asked to summon Hussain Haqqani to Pakistan for a “briefing” to establish the authenticity of the ‘memo’ and trace its origin.
It was alleged that Hussain Haqqani delivered ‘secret memo’ sent by President Asif Ali Zardari to the US administration seeking help against a possible military coup.
Earlier, Haqqani had written a letter to President Zardari and offered to resign from his post over the issue of the memo, which was reportedly sent to Mike Mullen.
Haqqani said that he offered his resignation to send a message to those trying for destabilising democracy.
He added that he had neither written a memo nor he delivered any letter. “The memo was just an excuse and democracy was the real target” Haqqani said.
While talking to a local television channel yesterday, Hussain Haqqani said that he can not travel immediately as doctor has ordered him to rest due to health problems.
