The memogate scandle has lost its thust the day army chief and ISI chiefs turned their eye blind to this issue. Government is not showing any anxiety on this issue. Interior minister Mr .Rehman Malik is quiet and there is nothing unusual in the Governments attitude. It means all is well on both sides(army and government).
Now what is the inside deal , it will not take too long to figure out. It must be an extension of the chiefs. What else could be.

I felt sickened to hear that Mr Haqqani had been allowed by the sitting government to leave Pakistan. What was all this hue and cry about then? It is also shameful that Raymond Davis was allowed similarly to exit Pakistan in surreptitious circumstances and now the Americans are demanding the doctor who sampled DNA for them at Abbotabad to make him a citizen of their country. What are you guys doing there, sitting with bangles on while your country is being sold on the open market by treacherous elements in daylight and in full view of the paralyzed population. Where is all the wisdom of Daniel or the bravado of the armed forces?

Yes, the “Memogate”scandal is a dead issue, but the so called transparency of the Government of Pakistan begs another question. Mr Haqqani came to Pakistan on a “Red” diplomatic Pakistani passport. It is ironic, how he managed to travel abroad within 24 hours! Which passport did he use? If he was issued another “Green” Pakistani Passport, then this was a very special treatment metted out to him.
This facility, normally is not accorded to an ordinary citizen of Pakistan. Astonishingly, he within hours managed to get the American Visa! We note that the Chief of American Mission in Pakstan paid a visit to Mr Haqqani the same day when his name was removed from the Exit Control List. I assume, this was pehaps to say “Shabash” and also to issue him a American Visa.If the Americans deny this, then it appears that Mr Haqqani had an American Nationality? or a Green Card!! In that case he was ineligible to serve as a Pakistani Ambassador.

Pakistani establishment is master in making None-Issues as Real and genuine issues. This fits in current Memogate scandal. I think tussle or height of the moment is not either Mr. Ijaz will allow to land on “Land Of Pure” or not, but tussle going on among civilian and military players. Military establishment doesn’t train in getting herself “answerable” to any elected setup. I think it is in this context one should see the arrival and non arrival of Mr. Ijaz. It would be unfortunate in case civilian set up is roll back before its “logical Time”. If this happens, lot of Mr. Ijaz will appear on scene to defame elected parliamentarian and undermining the role of Parliament. Mr. Ijaz stoppage til this moment tells, “Civilian too becoming strong in current scenario”. I pray for the strengthening of parliamentary system.

I should have thought that it is well known that this case is before the Pak Supreme Court (SC) because an important politician appealed to it. There is no reason why some other important politician should not appeal to the SC concerning the allegation that General Pasha sought support for a military coupe from Saudis.

This whole drama started with MI writting to FT of Lndon and subsequent to the embarrasement the Military of Pakistan began to face after the OSBL was picked up and they did not knew this action by by US. It thus is a cover up to divert the attention the Pakistani were paying on the ineptness of their Military which began to loose its respect. From this the Military got Husain Haqqani to resign but their DG ISI who also secretly met with MI did not. Husain Haqqani was successful in getting support of US for the civilian Govt. and this they achieved in addition to diverion of attenon their criticizem.

Since Mian Nawaz Sharif brought the case before the honourable Court, burdon of proving his allegations is on him.He should bring Mansoor Ijaz to the Court for examination by the Court & Crossexamination by the Acused.The sooner Mian Sahib does so,the better it is for the nation.Otherwise Mian Sahib Sould withdraw the case from the Court,and apologise to the Paistani nation for waisting the Court’s and the Nation’s time.

the crime was never committed if the letter and its contents are taken as a crime. Is there any punishment in our law for the attempted crime? what about those big crimes which were actually committed in our country. Will the court dare to even discuss those and will any body dare to take those to court? should we expect any outcome of the case recently taken up by the court after 15/16 years? Is the memo more important than what happened in Abbotabad last year?
