Former Pakistani ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani’s rebuttal is only self mockery and a neurotic ‘hung up’ because the stated fact about the fake letter was a part of history and known to many other responsible people, former Intelligence Bureau (IB) director general (DG) Brigadier (r) Imtiaz said on Wednesday.
He said that Haqqani had probably forgotten that he had been once on the pay roll of the stated ‘intelligence henchman’. Imtiaz said that Haqqani’s philosophy of life was replete with changing political loyalties as a saleable commodity. The former IB DG advised Haqqani to recapitulate his tenure as ambassador to Sri Lanka, an appointment earned by him as a reward and his ugly role in collaboration with a retired bureaucrat to fuel the then erupted strife between former president Ghulam Ishaq Khan and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Nawaz Sharif, which resulted in ouster of the democratically-elected government.
