AG denies he represented federation in memo case

Attorney General for Pakistan justice (retd) Maulvi Anwarul Haq has said that he did not represented the federation in memo scandal case but he was appeared in the apex court for legal assistance.

In a written explanation issued on Friday by the spokesman of the Attorney General Office, it is stated that the Supreme Court summoned him in memo scandal case for legal assistance, adding that in TV talk shows it was tried to portrait that I represented the federation in memo scandal, while the court proceeding showed that I appeared in the court on the notice of Supreme Court.
It is worth mentioning here that a nine-members bench of Supreme Court on Thursday conducted initial hearing of the petitions filed for the probe of the memo scandal case, including President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Mian Nawaz Sharif and others and constituted on member commission and appointed former DG FIA Tariq Mehmood Khosa for investigation; meanwhile the government ministers including Firdous Ashiq Awan, Syed Khursihd Shah, Babar Awan and Qamar Zaman Kaira in an emergency press conference said that the decision was made without hearing the federation.
