Hussain Haqqani says Memogate was just media noise

At one of the events arranged for Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abassi, the central character of the Memogate controversy, after a silence of many years made an appearance. Hussain Haqqani was in Geneva at the same time for the current United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) session.

When approached for his comments, Haqqani said: “Memogate was just media noise, which is why the case has never been decided by the Supreme Court. That it disrupted lives without a conclusion is a sad reflection on how things work in Pakistan. I have moved on”.

“I did nothing wrong, never went into hiding, and have always expressed my opinions publicly. In Geneva, I spoke as a Pakistani to seek justice for many of those who have been alienated from Pakistan so that more tragedies are averted.”

Furthermore the main central character of the Memogate Scandal Mansoor Ijaz, can be seen in the audience at Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) where PM Abbasi answered questions of the audience. He was behind the Memogate scandal which rocked the civilian government of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in 2012.

Exactly when Mansoor Ijaz appeared in Washington DC, his former friend and Pakistan’s then ambassador to Washington Hussain Haqqani was in Geneva, Switzerland’s capital, meeting delegates to the current United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) addressing a seminar on Balochistan, organised by a nationalist group.

Members of Pakistan’s delegation, Dr. Maleeha Lodhi, journalists and local Pakistan-watchers can also be seen in the audience.
