Petition on Memogate not court issue: Asma

Asma Jahangir, counsel for former ambassador of Pakistan to US Hussain Haqqani, has declared that petition regarding Memogate was not a court issue, in the very first place.
Talking to media after her 4-hour consultations with Haqqani, she announced that Haqqani had termed the issue as a purely political matter, which could be only presented before a parliament committee.
Asma Jehangir said that the issue was deliberately blown out of proportions, and reminded that the very (American) national, who ignited the whole issue, never belonged to Pakistan in first place.
She also emphasized that the issue did not fall into the preview of the Supreme Court; and not even a judicial commission was required, since a parliamentary committee had already been formed for the purpose.
She also expressed her fears for attempt on Hussain Haqqani’s life, as “we are already receiving threats..”
Asma Jehangir also reminded that Mansoor Ejaz had already confessed that he had never met Haqqani in the first place, stressing that her client was being blamed for the episode, needlessly, and had resigned because he was getting controversial over barrage of allegations.
Expressing her exasperation over being declared as a culprit by Supreme Court “without giving her a chance to explain”, she said that Mian Nawaz Sharif would have to file a FIR and than record his statement in front of a magistrate.
