Mansoor Ijaz should give proof, not statements

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.
