Hey, are the wheels are starting to grind into reverse?
So the Davis "case" belongs to the F.O. and the local gov't violated proper procedures. Pretty much what the Americans have been saying, yes?Islamabad—Former Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi has blamed the Punjab government for mishandling of Raymond Davis issue by registering the FIR without consulting Foreign Office.
“They (the Punjab Government) preferred the local politics over the national interest without sensing the heat of the matter,” Qureshi said in interview he gave to an Urdu language weekly magazine.
The Punjab government should have contacted Foreign Office before registering a case against Raymond Davis, the self-confessed killer of two Pakistanis, he added. According to the weekly, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Mian Raza Rabbani was witness to the fact that he had briefed ministers and other high-ups about the intensity of the matter. Commenting on the issue of custody of this case’s file, he insisted that it belonged to the Foreign Office and not the Interior Ministry. —Online
