ISLAMABAD: The PML-N on Wednesday filed a petition regarding the memo issue in the Supreme Court.
The
petition has been filed on behalf of the N-league President Nawaz
Sharif, making President Asif Ali Zardari, Director General
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Ahmed Shuja Pasha, Chief of Army Staff
General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, Hussain Haqqani, Foreign Secretary Salman
Bashir and Mansoor Ijaz as respondents. Earlier sources close to Sharif
family revealed the decision to this effect was taken by the party head
after consultation with the top PML-N leadership.
Though the
party head hurled a deadline of two days to the incumbent for holding an
impartial and thorough probe into a very sensitive issue, it decided to
go ahead with the court option, watching inactivity at the government
side.
On Tuesday, Pakistan Ambassador to Washington Hussain
Haqqani resigned from the post over the memogate issue, during a high
level meeting of Islamabad’s civilian and military leadership. Online
