Punjab Opposition Leader Raja Riaz on Monday demanded registering a treason case against US national Mansoor Ijaz for his anti Pakistan lobbying, saying that by refusing to appear before the memo commission, Mansoor has proved that he wants to spread anarchy in the country.
Talking to journalists at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) after submitting his application to the judicial commission, Riaz said that stern action must be taken against Mansoor who had accepted playing a role to topple the PPP-led government in 1996 and also hatched a conspiracy against the country’s agency by writing against it this time around. “A case of high treason should be registered against Mansoor because he is a liar and conspirator against Pakistan,” Riaz alleged. Replying to a question that the army chief and ISI chief had also submitted affidavits in court testifying the US national’s claim, the Punjab opposition leader said that he did not read their affidavits but Ijaz was surely contriving against the PPP’s democratic government.
