USA jumps in to defend Hussain Haqqani

[rehman1978]

WASHINGTON DC: US Senators John McCain, Joseph Lieberman and Mark Kirk expressed reservations on the treatment of former Pakistani ambassador Husain Haqqani on Thursday.In a joint press statement, the senators said that they were “increasingly troubled by Ambassador Haqqani’s treatment since he returned home to Pakistan, including the travel ban imposed on him. Like many in Washington, we are closely following Ambassador Haqqani’s case.”
According to the press release, the senators have urged Pakistani authorities to resolve the matter swiftly. The senators asked Pakistan to “prevent the judicial commission investigating Ambassador Haqqani from becoming a political tool for revenge against an honorable man.”
Haqqani had stepped down from his post as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US in December 2011, after Mansoor Ijaz implicated him in the “memogate” scandal. He is currently on the Exit Control List, and is facing proceedings in the courts of Pakistan.
The senators added that the former Pakistani ambassador had served its country honourably in his role as a diplomat. “While we did not always agree with Ambassador Haqqani, and our exchange of views could be spirited at times, we always had the highest respect for him and knew he was serving his nation and government with patriotism and distinction. We regret that the Pakistani people have lost a tough-minded, eloquent, and principled advocate for their nation’s interests now that Ambassador Haqqani has departed Washington.”
The press release further stated that the Pakistani people “can be proud of the service that Ambassador Haqqani has provided Pakistan, and we look forward to the day when he can once again serve the government and people of Pakistan as one of the nation’s finest leaders.”
In a related development, sources confirmed that the former ambassador’s wife and Presidential spokesperson Farahnaz Ispahani was currently in Washington DC.
Earlier on Tuesday, Husain Haqqani expressed fear for his life in an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph.
Haqqani said he fears that he will be murdered if he steps out of his residence as he has been branded a ‘traitor’ by ‘powerful quarters’ – a clear reference to the ISI. He has been residing at the prime minister’s house in Islamabad since his return to Pakistan on his resignation as the Ambassador.
He termed the issue as ‘psychological warfare’ against the government.
“I’m being called a traitor and an American lackey in the media with the clear encouragement of certain powerful quarters even though I’ve not been charged legally with anything.”

Haqqani on Wednesday also challenged the constitution of the judicial commission probing the case.
He held a meeting with his legal team at the office of his former counsel Asma Jehangir wherein it was decided that a review petition will be filed in the Supreme Court over its decision to appoint a probe commission to look into the memo affair.

Its that SH*T attitude that the americans always adopt, when they somehow know better than anyone and everyone including those involved.

Perhaps they should be looking at THEIR treatment of people at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo before telling others how to treat those detained.

Haqqani is only on the exit control list, is there any restriction on his movements, whom he can and cannot meet, him getting legal representation, having access to the media or being deprived of anything, or starved.

So Congressmen wallah types, shut up and get lost

حقانی کس کا سفیر تھا کیا ان کا نہیں تھا ؟

[gazoomartian]

Obviously Haqqani at the PM house is using facilities to communicate and solicit these American kafir senators to make statements.


This is a gross interference in our judicial and political affairs. Ann Patterson should be brought back to Islamabad.

Another notice for 'defiant' Babar

Last Updated On 05 January,2012 About 8 hours ago

SC issues show cause notice to Babar Awan in contempt of court; warns license cancellation.


Surpeme Court has issued another show cause notice to Babar Awan seeking reply by January 9 over comments in which he belittled issuance of court’s contempt notices to him and other PPP colleagues.

During hearing of Presidential reference into reopening of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto murder case, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad asked Babar Awan if he would not respect the government institutions, then who would do.

While reprimanding him, the Supreme Court asked Awan if he wishes to get his license cancelled by giving out such statements.


Chief justice also noted sufficient on-record material which warranted ‘contemptuous’ remarks against the Supreme Court and ordered Secretary Information to submit relevant video clips and paper cuttings.

Sureme Court has decided to hear the Bhutto reference later, terming the case of Babar Awan’s statement as "more important".



PPP leader and federation’s representative in ZAB case, Babar Awan on Wednesday mocked the issuing of contempt notices by the Supreme Court to him and other PPP leaders.


Its only a threat, B Hevan would do well not to ignore.

It is now blatently obvious the whole lot AAZ Gillani, Hevan, Haqqani and Co are all pushing the CJ and Supreme Court as far as possible. The moment of rekoning is upon the Supreme Court, become subservient to the Politicians, or do the right thing and assert your authority, by dismissing the whole lot.

It means that husen haqqani commited it with the support of madari. Its now proved after the statements of these people
