Agencies should investigate the memo game: Haqqani

KARACHI: Pakistan ambassador to US Husain Haqqani said on Monday that he was unable to understand the claims made by American businessman Mansoor Ijaz. He was speaking to Geo News and said that Ijaz calls him a patriot and a liar at the same time.

The ambassador raised many questions and asked that why Mansoor Ijaz sent the memo and who delivered that to Admiral Mike Mullen. And how it was proved that he was the author of that document.

Ambassador Haqqani also said that Mansoor Ijaz has now accepted that President Zardari was unaware of the memo but he had said otherwise when he initiated the entire fiasco.

The ambassador predicted that Ijaz will step back from other claims as well and suggested that agencies should investigate that who is behind the memogate scandal and who can take advantage of the army-establishment clashes.
