Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor has said that former Pakistan ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani’s views published in US newspaper vindicate stance of Pakistan’s state institutions.
Earlier this month, Husain Haqqani admitted that with the authorisation of the then elected “civilian leaders” he, as Pakistan’s ambassador to US, had facilitated the presence of large number of CIA operatives in Pakistan to track down Osama bin Laden.
The former ambassador referred to the then president Asif Ali Zardari and prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani as his “civilian leaders”.
“Views of Hussain Haqqani published in a mainstream US newspaper especially his account on issuance of visas vindicate stance of Pakistan’s state institutions,” said the DG ISPR, in a tweet on Wednesday.
“The veracity of concerns about his role in the entire issue also stands confirmed,” Gen Ghafoor added.
