Islamabad: Hussain Haqqani’s lawyer Asma Jahangir on Tuesday argued in the Supreme Court of Pakistan that the memogate issue was not related to basic human rights and all the petitions should be rejected in this regard as they were not hearable.
A nine-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing the case.
She said that the ISI was not an investigation agency and the spymasters should not probe the matter.
Mrs. Jahangir claimed the ISI had declared Wali Khan and Benazir Bhutto as traitors.
She said that the word memo was not found in Black Berry messages of Mansoor Ijaz. She added that Ijaz had also wrote against Pakistani institutions.
Chief Justice remarked the court would give orders if people moved it. Jahangir said that removing ISI chief and army chief was prime minister’s prerogative and the SC should not interfere.
She said that country’s nuclear programme should be in the control of the president and the prime minister as it was created by the civil ruler not by the army.
