Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has formally authorised the Parliamentary Committee on National Security to probe into the “memogate” issue and submit its report to the government. “Instructions have been issued to hand over the memo case to the Parliamentary Committee on National Security,” an official in the PM House told Pakistan Today on Monday. The PM’s office issued a notification in this regard that requested the committee chairman to investigate into the matter.
“It has been desired that the Parliamentary Committee on National Security may conduct a probe on the subject issue,” said an order of the Prime Minister’s Secretariat. On November 22, the prime minister had directed for conducting a detailed investigation at an appropriate level and asked Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani to submit his resignation so that the investigation could be carried out properly. He hoped that all concerned would be afforded sufficient and fair opportunity to present their views and the investigation shall be carried out fairly, objectively and without bias.
Well that is the end of that then. The memo will be buried in endless commitees that we never meet except to have lunch and will therefore never deliver a report.
Democracy is very good at talking things to death. Dictatorships just shoot them.
