The Supreme Court has issued notices to President Asif Ali Zardari and
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani with regard to the memogate case in
response to a letter that was faxed to the court by a Pakistani residing
in Canada.
The Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has passed the order
that this application be treated as petition under Article 184(3) of the
Constitution as prima facie in this matter threat to the security of
Pakistan and citizens has been alleged.
Notice to the President of Pakistan, Prime Minister of Pakistan, DG
ISI, Hussain Haqqani, Advisor to President, Advisor to Prime Minister
and Attorney General for Pakistan for tomorrow Monday (19-12-2011).
Chief Justice has said in order that the case is to be fixed with the
case already fixed on same subject. The petition has been enclosed with
the main petition.
The notices refer to the letter written by Shafqat Ullah in which the
writer has said in his letter that he was writing in regard to recent
development of Mansoor Ijaz memo handed over to Mike Mullen of USA (ex
army chief) allegedly sponsored by President Asif Ali Zardari, his
government members and our foreign High Commissioner of USA Hussain
Haqqani.
Shafqat Ullah has said that it is an open case now and there is no
conspiracy. He has attached the copies of the news published in various
papers.
Shafqat Ullah has said that as this is directly related to the
security of Pakistan and Armed forces of Pakistan, so it is a matter of
national security and national interest, adding that our national
security s on stake now and politicians are just making fun of each
other by asking so called committees to for inquiry. Committees will
delay the outcomes rater than justice, he added.
Addressing to Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, he has said
that political leaders are not going to take it serious as they are
culprit of the case and the specially the present government will not
take any action on it due to directly involved in this case.
Shafqat has said that if the contents of the letter are true than
each and every Pakistani is at security threat due to present government
and this government is not safeguarding the interests of its own people
and departments but it is securing the interests of other nations or
enemies of Pakistan.
This is an anti state act and how comes a person involved in this
matter is sitting on the key post of Pakistan and is a supreme commander
of Pak armed forces, he said in letter.
Shafqat Ullah has said that his family members are in Army and all
family members are in Pakistan so he feels insecurity from this
government as they can invite the enemies to kill us, adding that being a
citizen of Pakistan I am requesting to you (CJP) to take suo moto
notice on this matte and find the facts to make a clear judgment. SANA
