Research in Motion (RIM), the Canada-based Blackberry phone service provider, has reportedly refused to release the records of phone calls and text messages between Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz and former Pakistan Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani, both embroiled in the raging memogate scandal rocking the country, according to media reports.
The judicial commission investigating the scandal had asked the government to send a formal request to RIM through the Canadian High Commission in Islamabad to obtain the records of conversation exchanged between the duo.
The Attorney General of Pakistan had sent in a sealed letter to the company asking for the release of data.
RIM told the commission that its privacy laws strictly prohibited disclosure of a customer’s data to any other party without the customer’s consent.

  1. That should not be a problem. Both Husain Haqqani and Mansoor Ijaz can give a signed consent asking RIM to release the relevant information.

  2. Failure to give consent is a sure sign that one has something to hide. The claim that Haqqani's cell phone has been "lost" points in the same direction.

  3. RIM can give information on BBM messages and the cell-phone service provider for Mr Haqqani's BlackBerry in US can provide text messages and audio records of his conversations with Mansoor Ijaz and others can likewise be made available on Mr Haqqani's authorization. I am sure Mr Haqqani wishes to co-operate. All he needs to do is to back-up his words with appropriate actions.
