A day after seeking the Supreme Court’s help in probing the memo scandal, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Thursday filed another application in the apex court requesting the court to order the authorities concerned to place Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani on the Exit Control List. Earlier, on Wednesday, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif had asked the court to identify those behind the memorandum scandal and bring them to justice.
In a separate application on Thursday, he requested the court to ensure that Haqqani could not leave Pakistan until the proceedings of the case were completed. He stated that there was a chance that either Haqqani would flee the country or that he would be forced to leave in order to cause problems in the court’s adjudication, for “reasons based on malice to say the least”. Separately, three PML-N parliamentarians from Balochistan also filed a joint petition in the Supreme Court on Thursday against the memo controversy, requesting the court to summon all the respondents to explain their position. The petitioners are MNA Lt Gen (r) Abdul Qadir Baloch, MNA Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan Nasir and MPA Sardar Sanaullah Khan Zehri.
Is it the same Lt Gen Qadir Baluch whose responsibility as DG, Rangers Sindh in 1999 was to keep Nawaz Sharif in custodyin the Hijacking case?
