Hussain Haqqani, Pakistan’s former Ambassador to the US from April 2008 to Nov 2011, has appeared to be more loyalist to the US and less stalwart to Pakistan in last many years. In Pakistan diplomatic corps he is better known as ‘Washington’s ambassador to Pakistan.’ He, particularly played a major part in Memogate scandal, asking US assistance against the Pakistan military in May 2012. He was exposed by Pakistan premier intelligence agency (ISI). However, the concrete evidence of Pakistani American businessman Mansoor Ijaz has brought the former diplomat to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Now Chief Justice of Pakistan is pressing executive to extradite the man from abroad so as to finalize/decide the long-awaited infamous security issue of Pakistan.
The memo was alleged to have been drafted by Hussain Haqqani at the behest of some important political figure in the country and was delivered to high ranking US official, Mike Mullen. The scandal, taken to the Supreme Court by then opposition leader and former PM of Pakistan Mr. Nawaz Sharif which led to Hussain Haqqani's resignation. Then judicial commission formed to investigate the scandal in 2012, submitted its report to apex Court, holding Hussain Haqqani guilty of authoring the controversial memorandum & adding that the former US envoy was not loyal to the country.
Opposition and treasury political parties of Pakistan condemned his recent column in The Washington Post, in which he has confessed that he had helped the US forces in eliminating Osama bin Laden from Abbottabad Pakistan, without the knowledge of government and the Inter-Services Intelligence.
He said
“Eventually enabled the United States to discover and eliminate bin Laden without depending on Pakistan’s intelligence service or military, which were suspected of sympathy toward Islamist militants.”
Mr. Hussain Haqqani belonged to Pakistan People's Party which has distanced itself from the former ambassador. PPP spokesperson Farhatullah Babar, in a recent statement, said, his party does not agree with Haqqani's opinion or analysis and therefore, connecting his work with the PPP is wrong. Khurshid Shah, while addressing the parliament stated that “We shouldn’t give importance to people who commit treason while sitting abroad.”
Mr. Haqqani is also accused of working for Indian interests. Foreign Minister, Khawaja Asif, during a National Assembly briefing, said that a deal with the United States for the procurement of eight F-16 fighter jets is facing delays due to some ‘lobbyists’ working against us.
He said, " The Indian lobby, with the ‘former envoy’ to the US, is also working against us, saying that these F-16s should not be given to us as it will only be used against India." But despite lobbies’ efforts, Pakistan believes the US is committed to providing us eight F-16 fighter jets because these jets are essentially required during Operation Zarb-e-Azb, anti-terrorist activities. Pakistan is paying back for violation of the set criteria/procedures that allowed people like Mr. Haqqani, to become a top most diplomat. At least now Pakistan political parties must learn to appoint traditional career diplomats in sensitive countries and avoid political appointees without due diligence.
Mr. Haqqani & his wife spared no occasion to spit venom against Pakistan, its institutions, and ideology, particularly, security structure, whether it was the platform of SAATH (South Asians against Terrorism and for Human Rights) or TLDF (Times Literature Festival Delhi) or any event conducted at Carnegie Endowment or Stimson center.
Mr. Haqqani along with his spouse is busy authoring anti-Pakistan books on ‘demand’ like “Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military”, “Magnificent Delusions: Pakistan, the United States and an Epic History of Misunderstandings” and “Purifying the Land of the Pure; Pakistan’s Religious Minorities”. The key content of his speeches and write-ups include; Pakistan is 'dangerous', 'unstable', and 'the land of the intolerant' people. He rather promotes inter provincial hatred, spread despair, and chaos which results in maligning the image of Pakistan.
In an article in the New York Times, Haqqani asked Trump to get tough on Pakistan if he wants to win Afghanistan. No, one can expect such language from former diplomat about his own country. He further blamed his own country by stating that “Although the Taliban are controlling 40 percent of Afghanistan’s territory, they operate from the safety of Pakistan.” He also opined that for Islamabad, the alliance with the United States has been more about securing weapons, diplomatic support & economic aid in its confrontation with India. As per his opinion, India is a peaceful country and Pakistan a troublesome country. He totally forgets and overlooks Pakistan dismemberment by India in 1971, the situation in Indian controlled Kashmir and continuous Indian sponsored terrorism in KPK and Baluchistan.
According to some reports, Haqqani is writing a book with title ‘Reimaging Pakistan: Transforming a Dysfunctional Nuclear state’. Even the Indian Publisher of the book mentions that former Pakistan’s ambassador to the US does not see anything worthwhile in Pakistan, and its institutions, especially Pakistan’s military.
Probably as an award, for his anti-Pakistan activities, all three of his daughters & a son are studying in world top class institutes as American nationals.
Three FIR’s have been lodged against Haqqani in different Police stations of KPK in December last year, for defaming Pakistan & harming its people. These complaints alleged that Hussain Haqqani had issued Pakistani visas to operators and killers of hostile intelligence agencies which caused numerous human losses in KPK. The sections of the Pakistan Penal Code applied by police in the FIRs are 120B (hatching a criminal conspiracy) and 121A (waging a war against Pakistan).
There are also reports that Mr. Haqqani had stolen and misappropriated secret funds. Federal Investigation Agency has also registered a case against Hussain Haqqani for committing, criminal breach of trust, and misuse of authority and embezzlement of funds. The case was registered under Section 3, 4, 409, 420, and 109 of Pakistan Penal Code following an inquiry conducted by the anti-corruption.
We Pakistanis are the biggest victims of terrorism, sacrificed around 70,000 lives, economy & a lot more for the peace in Afghanistan, but the porous Pak-Afghan border allows infiltrators to access each other’s soil very easily, causing Laden’s presence in Pakistan & giving a chance for people like Haqqani to retain US sympathies by misleading American officials.
Last week, Supreme Court of Pakistan issued an arrest warrant for Haqqani. As per reports, he was directed to appear in Memogate case by a three-member bench, formed on 1st Feb 2018 to resume the hearing of most debated Memogate case, involving the former ambassador. Additional Attorney General, Rana Waqar told the court that FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) has made a request to Interpol for a red warrant against Haqqani. He also added that a committee had also been constituted to take up the issue with relevant authorities in the United States.
Now it has become the responsibility of Pakistani media to expose such ‘Mir Jaafar and Mir Sadiq’ on every domestic forum so that greed and lust for power should not overcome the patriotism.
In the end, I want to add a saying for the people like Mr. Hussain Haqqani that “Traitors despised even by those to whom they have rendered service to”
