Mansoor Ijaz, the US-based Pakistani businessman, has rejected reports that Zardari was aware of the controversial memo.
According to the media reports, Mansoor Ijaz stepped back from one of his claims and said that President Asif Ali Zardari was unaware of the memo.
He rejected reports claiming that there was some understanding between Zardari and Husain Haqqani regarding the memo sent to Mike Mullen.
Ijaz claimed that the president might have spoken to Husain Haqqani about the pressure on him after the Abbottabad raid, hence asking the latter to help him out in this regard. He rejected the idea of any missing links in the memo chain.
It is pertinent to mention here that in his article published in the “Financial Times”, Ijaz had claimed that he had drafted and delivered a memo to Admiral Mullen with the help of a top diplomat on President Zardari’s instructions.
