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.
