Former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani attributes the “constant media campaign” against him to ideologically motivated “people full of hate” which would not deter him from arguing in favour of Pakistan’s future as a modern, pluralist nation. “InshaAllah, I have ideas to articulate, books to write and students to teach. In the greater scheme of things, a little noise from people full of hate makes little difference,” he observed confidently when asked if he had been shaken by the memo saga. Talking to Pakistani newsmen in the US capital for the first time since resigning as ambassador, Haqqani made it clear that he was not playing any role in US-Pakistan relations and does not intend to do so while out of office.
