Former ambassador of Pakistan to the US, Hussain Haqqani, filed on Tuesday an application in the Supreme Court rejecting the Memo-commission report terming it biased and requesting SC to set aside the memo commission report so that justice would be done and discrimination against him could be rectified.
Central character of the Memo-gate scandal, Hussain Haqqani submitted the application through the lawyer activist Asma Jahangir.
The application has raised questions regarding proceedings of Memo-commission.
In the application to the apex court, Hussain Haqqani took the stance that he has nothing to do with Memo-commission, for it was constituted for achieving specific objectives and presented flawed evidences.
The former ambassador, Hussain Haqqani claimed the report of memo-commission had political basis.
The application maintained that the Supreme Court has not indicted Hussain Haqqani on a formal charge.
Hussain Haqqani has also blamed the Memo-commission for transgressing from its mandate and accusing him on the basis of insufficient proofs.
Why dont you come to Pakistan?
The commission in Memogate was assigned the task to look into the facts for the Apex court to determine if there is a need for a proper trial. Unfortunately the commission didn't give the opportunity to Haqqani to record his statement in London or via video link. Infact the commission constitute those judges which were full of anti PPP sentiments. Everything was pre-planned, the memo affair, Mansoor Ijaz’s statements, formation of commission and its decision and now the final verdict by the court. SC is helpless for they have to obey the orders of its mentors that is establishment. Establishment doesn’t want to hook off Hussain Haqqani because of personal disliking. It is unfortunate that our courts are swaying tail before establishment. The commission in its judgment has been judgmental by declaring Haqqani as disloyal to Pakistan and working against the interest of the country he was representing. Looks like emotions have overcome the rational thinking and is not going to convey a very good impression.
