The memo commission secretary Raja Jawad Hassan Abbas left for London on Sunday to collect evidence material from the lead witness Mansoor Ijaz and help record his statement before the commission through a video link on February 22. Ijaz is likely to record his statement on Wednesday at the Pakistan High Commission. Zahid Bukhari, lawyer of former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani, has also submitted a request to acquire a British visa. The secretary is likely to stay in London until February 24. The enquiry tribunal on February 10 had decided that Ijaz’s statement will be recorded at the Pakistani High Commission in London through video-link after he declined to visit Pakistan citing security reasons.

    • And what does that has to do with the price of eggs in China? Are you just plain stupid? Stay on the subject. Just because he may have made one mistake, does not make everything he claims to be untrue. Lets give him a chance to present evidence and then make comments. Don't just show you lack of knowledge from the get go.

  2. The e-mail Mr Ijaz sent with the memo to General Jones on May 9 is devastating and is in the public record. Mr Ijaz tells General Jones that, noted above, the memo has three authors. Mr Ijaz later identifies the other two ‘authors’ as generals and former ambassadors Jehangir Karamat and Mahmud Durrani. Both generals categorically deny any knowledge or involvement in this affair and General Durrani notes that he never met Mr Ijaz. Mr Ijaz further states that should the general not be able to pass the memo on, the Secretary of the Navy and former Senate Majority Leader will, inferring a close relationship. Ijaz later admits that he did not know the Navy Secretary and Senator Tom Daschle has made no public statement. Finally, the so-called phone call in which the memo was plotted has not been substantiated. If there were any viable evidence, it should have been produced. Mr Ijaz’s last minute refusal to give testimony to the court of inquiry and come to Pakistan is enough to speak about dubious memo. Mansoor Ijaz aimed to get himself in lime light so he remained successful, what is unfortunate in entire ping pong is that we have lost a competent ambassador to Pakistan.
