ISLAMABAD: Mansoor Ijaz’s continuous press statements to influence
the Memogate Commission are unfortunate and must be seen with disdain by
the Pakistani nation, said a spokesman for the legal team of Pakistan’s
former Ambassador Husain Haqqani.
Reacting to a press statement
issued by Mansoor Ijaz, the real conspirator behind Memogate, the
spokesman said that Mansoor had consistently failed in his objective of
creating rift between different institutions of Pakistani state and was
playing last desperate act to influence the mindset of the Pakistani
people as well as the honorable judicial commission, he said on Tuesday.
“Mansoor has presented to the Judicial Commission whatever he
believes to be facts, but to us most of that consists of fabrication,
imagination and Mansoor’s attention grabbing antics. A great example of
that are his so called transcripts of Pakistan’s Air Traffic Control and
the communication between two high offices of Pakistan on May 2 last
year,” the spokesman said and added that even a cursory glance at his so
called evidence only proves that Mansoor has great story telling
skills.
“He is best advised to keep these stories for his grand
children as soon no one in the world will be ready to listen to his
fiction pandered as truth,” he added.
The spokesman took great
exception to Mansoor’s unsolicited advice to Husain Haqqani on how to
present his position in the Judicial Commission.
He further
added that Mansoor’s problem was that he believed that his financial,
moral and credit problems all rest on the conclusion of ‘Memogate’
investigation according to his own wishes.
He unfortunately for
himself is mistaken as his story’s gaping holes will be exposed within
the first ten minutes when our side starts cross questioning him. He
further commented,
“His statements only throw light on him more as a star of Stupidisco music video than a serious person.”
The
spokesman again reminded that the honorable judicial commission had
barred respondents from commenting on the proceedings of the commission
and wondered whether Mansoor Ijaz was enjoying this liberty to issue
statements due to his belief that Pakistani judicial authorities cannot
stop him as he is beyond their jurisdiction. Online
