Srinagar: Yasin
Malik, chairman of the Pro-Azadi Jammu and Kashmir Liberation
Front (JKLF), has sought permission from the Pakistan Supreme
Court to appear before the Memogate probe panel.
Prominent local lawyer, Zaffar Ahmad Shah, has written a letter to
the Pakistan Supreme Court seeking permission for his client,
Malik, to appear before the panel probing the Memogate scandal.
The development came in the wake of disclosures by Pakistani
American businessman Ijaz Mansoor that he had arranged a meeting
between Indian RAW chief C.D. Sahay and Malik at the behest of the
US government.
"It has become necessary for me to keep the record straight and
remove the confusion that has been created in the minds of the
people of South Asia in general and of Jammu and Kashmir in
particular," Malik said defending his decision to seek permission
for appearing before the Memogate panel.
The Pakistan Supreme Court has appointed a three-member panel to
probe the disclosures made by Mansoor - in which he had said a
memo had been sent to Admiral Mike Mullen seeking help from the
Obama administration to avert the military takeover of Pakistan in
the wake of the US special forces strike against Osama bin Laden
in May last year.
