Pak Parliamentary Committee to discuss memo scandal soon

Islamabad , Thu, 24 Nov 2011 ANI

Islamabad, Nov 24 (ANI): Pakistan's Parliamentary Committee on National Security would reportedly meet on November 25 under the chairmanship of Senator Raza Rabbani to discuss the Memo Gate scandal, which eventually led to the ouster of Pakistan's Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani.

 

Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League -Nawaz (PML-N) leader Senator Ishaq Dar sent a letter to Senator Raza Rabbani over the scandal, suggesting that the secret issue be discussed in the parliamentary body, the Daily Times reports.

 

He suggested that Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant General Ahemd Shuja Pasha should also be summoned for the meeting to brief the members over the issue.

 

Meanwhile, the US has praised the service Haqqani, whose resignation was accepted yesterday after being accused of urging the Americans to stop the Pakistani military from seizing power following the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

 

Spokesman Mark Toner said the State Department had not yet received a formal notification from Pakistan about Haqqani's resignation and his replacement, but acknowledged Islamabad's appointment of democracy advocate Sherry Rehman as the new envoy.

 

"We certainly look forward to working together with her as we continue to build a strong, cooperative relationship between our two countries. We have appreciated Ambassador Haqqani's strong support for US-Pakistan relations throughout his tenure," Toner added. (ANI)
