ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) stalwart and the opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed on Monday called former Pakistan ambassador to Washington Hussain Haqqani a traitor, a day after the former envoy sparked controversy with a Washington Post article in which he said he had facilitated presence of CIA operatives in Pakistan by acting under the authorization of PPP government.
Haqqani wrote that presence of CIA operatives helped track down al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Ladin without the knowledge of Pakistani military.
Khursheed Shah said Haqqani’s statement was not worthy of being debated in parliament. “This man is issuing statement in an effort to gain attention of new US administration,” said he, reffering to Haqqani, a former member of the PPP.
Khursheed Shah said people who are born on Pakistani soil and then commits treason after going to US should not be accorded much importance.
