Supreme Court lawyer Asma Jahangir said the Memo commission proved to be a party as well as a judge of the Memogate scandal. “The delivery of justice does not mean defaming the people,” she said, observing that such commissions were also made in the past and that the history must change now.
Talking to the media on Tuesday, Jahangir said the Memo commission should have heard all the parties on equal grounds and should have searched for facts, instead of confirming any one person as a traitor. She said if Mansoor Aijaz had admitted to writing the memo, there was no point in saying that he was compelled to compose the memo. She said the statement of Mansoor Aijaz was recorded via a video-link but that prejudice was shown in the case of Hussain Haqqani. She stated that if the memo commission case was not included in the cause-list of the Supreme Court, then there was no ground for the commission to take up the case.
