An application seeking directions of the Supreme Court to the federation to give a free hand to the chief of army staff in accordance with the law to defend the territories of Pakistan against any foreign aggression including drone attacks was filed on Wednesday. The application was filed by Tariq Asad, who said the ‘memogate’ issue had not cropped up suddenly, but was a step forward to a conspiracy against the sovereignty of Pakistan. He stated that, during the past few years, the government’s high ups, particularly the president and the prime minister and former ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani were cooperating with the US in its evil pursuits against the country.
After the disclosure of memo conspiracy and the removal of their favorite ambassador, the US was provoked against the patriot armed forces of Pakistan, particularly the ISI and the army and consequently in retaliation had attacked the Pakistan Army, he submitted.
