PAK-2NDLD MEMO 2 LAST
PTI | 07:01 PM,Jan 30,2012Haqqani, who has denied any involvement in the memo, said Haqqani, who has denied any involvement in the memo, said he plans to travel to the US to join his family there. Ijaz, who made the mysterious memo public, has failed to make two scheduled appearances before the commission, which has given him a final opportunity to depose on February 9. The Attorney General further informed the bench that Canadian firm Research In Motion had refused to hand over data of alleged conversations between Ijaz and Haqqani. RIM had said it would consider the request to hand over this data if the Canadian government writes an application and Ijaz gave a waiver regarding the handing over of data regarding his communications, the Attorney General said. Reacting to top court lifting his travel ban, Haqqani in messages posted on Twitter wrote that the Supreme Court had restored his freedom to travel. "Lest (someone) forgets, I returned and resigned voluntarily to disprove falsehoods," he wrote. Haqqani wrote that he and his counsel would continue to cooperate with the commission. "So far I'm the (only one to) appear before it," he said. Acting on a batch of petitions, the apex court last year formed the commission to probe the alleged memo that had sought US help to stave off a feared military takeover in Pakistan after the killing of Osama bin Laden. The scandal triggered a standoff between the civilian government and the powerful military, which urged the apex court to order an investigation. The government insisted that the probe should be handled by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, which too has summoned Ijaz to appear before it on February 10. PTI RHL ZH SAZ AKJ
