12
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Wednesday said there was no record of the alleged memo with the foreign office, FTNews reported.
She further said that American officials never mentioned the existence of the said memo either privately or through official channels.
Briefing the Senate’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Khar said the army and the ISI had been targeted in the alleged memo. She said the time when the memo was supposedly sent was not one when the government was facing any kind of threat from the army and nor was it facing any threat presently.
Khar as the government only had as much information about the alleged memo as the media has been providing.
She moreover stressed that demanding a resignation from Husain Haqqani was imperative in order to carry out a transparent investigation into the subject.
