Pakistan is known NATO ally of United States. The Ambassador of Pakistan therefore is a very important player in Washington. He has full access to the top people both in the State Department and in Pantagon. This is particularly true due to the ongoing operations for mutual benefit being conducted by the USA and Pakistan in Afghanistan.
When Ambassador Haqqani had direct access to the powers in Washington, why would he go through another player of dubious character for such a sensitive matter of such a message seeking intervention of Washington against the Pakistan Army in Islamabad?
It is therefore very surprising that Ijaz Mansoor claims that former Ambassador Haqqani, instead of verbally informing directly Admiral Mullen, or Hillary Clinton etc. will use the channel of a third party to seek help against the military coup planned by Pak Army. That too of an American citizen of Pakistani origin with an unsigned letter whose parentage is not known!
When Ambassador Haqqani had direct access to the powers in Washington, why would he go through another player of dubious character for such a sensitive matter seeking intervention of Washington against the Pakistan Army in Islamabad?
It is obvious that the dirty tricks department of the ISI on behalf of Pakistan Army has planted this document through Ijaz Mansoor since they are desperate that President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani (who they don’t like) be removed from their position. Mansoor also conveniently met ISI Chief in Europe recently!
Also if one observes the sequence of events in respect of Imran Khan and his propping up by the crowds in his rallies with the help of irregular forces (jihadis) of the Pak Army, Musharraf’s plan to return by end of January and to participate in the elections clearly show that ISI with the blessings of General Kayani is playing a major role to ensure that early elections are called and individuals supported by them take over as the President and the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Who will be more conducive than Imran Khan as Prime Minister and Musharraf in Islamabad helping General Kayani to somehow restore the relationship with America. In case, Haqqani was guilty he would not have returned to Islamabad as he would be imprisoned.. Haqqani is not liked by Musharraf.
In the unfolding drama of Memogate logically it appears General Kayani, Shuza Pasha, Musharraf (who is close enough to Kayani and wants to resettle in Islamabad), Pakistan Army and ISI with Imran Khan are on the same page.
“¦will Chief Justice of Pakistan, who cannot stand President Zardari (it is obvious the dirty trick played by ISI against the present civil government ) will be able to deliver justice in fair and professional manner?
Yesterday, i.e. on 15 January 2012, Imran Khan has retracted his statements against America and India as also he and Musharraf have joined hands to fight elections together.
The points in Memogate are listed below:
“In the event Washington’s direct intervention behind the scenes can be secured through your personal communication with Kayani (he will likely listen only to you at this moment) to stand down the Pakistani military-intelligence establishment, the new national security team is prepared, with full backing of the civilian apparatus, to do the following:
- President of Pakistan will order an independent inquiry into the allegations that Pakistan harbored and offered assistance to UBL and other senior Qaeda operatives. The White House can suggest names of independent investigators to populate the panel, along the lines of the bipartisan 9-11 Commission, for example.
- The inquiry will be accountable and independent, and result in findings of tangible value to the US government and the American people that identify with exacting detail those elements responsible for harboring and aiding UBL inside and close to the inner ring of influence in Pakistan s Government (civilian, intelligence directorates and military). It is certain that the UBL Commission will result in immediate termination of active service officers in the appropriate government offices and agencies found responsible for complicity in assisting UBL.
- The new national security team will implement a policy of either handing over those left in the leadership of Al Qaeda or other affiliated terrorist groups who are still on Pakistani soil, including Ayman Al Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and Sirajuddin Haqqani, or giving US military forces a “green light” to conduct the necessary operations to capture or kill them on Pakistani soil. This “carte blanche” guarantee is not without political risks, but should demonstrate the new group s commitment to rooting out bad elements on our soil. This commitment has the backing of the top echelon on the civilian side of our house, and we will insure necessary collateral support.
- One of the great fears of the military-intelligence establishment is that with your stealth capabilities to enter and exit Pakistani airspace at will, Pakistan s nuclear assets are now legitimate targets. The new national security team is prepared, with full backing of the Pakistani government – initially civilian but eventually all three power centers – to develop an acceptable framework of discipline for the nuclear program. This effort was begun under the previous military regime, with acceptable results. We are prepared to reactivate those ideas and build on them in a way that brings Pakistan s nuclear assets under a more verifiable, transparent regime.
- The new national security team will eliminate Section S of the ISI charged with maintaining relations to the Taliban, Haqqani network, etc. This will dramatically improve relations with Afghanistan.
- We are prepared to cooperate fully under the new national security team s guidance with the Indian government on bringing all perpetrators of Pakistani origin to account for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, whether outside government or inside any part of the government, including its intelligence agencies. This includes handing over those against whom sufficient evidence exists of guilt to the Indian security services.”
The above points appears totally fake – no one writes down such issues!
Therefore, will Chief Justice of Pakistan, who cannot stand President Zardari will be able to deliver justice in fair and professional manner?
Please wait...
