ISLAMABAD: The Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNC) on Thursday decided to summon US businessman of Pakistani origin, Mansoor Ijaz, again on February 10 and asked the authorities concerned to allay his apprehensions about security arrangements.
| I don't think that's possible... |
Briefing the media after meeting of the committee held at the Parliament House, the committee chairman, Senator Raza Rabbani, said that Attorney General of Pakistan Maulvi Anwarul Haq had briefed the committee about the security arrangements made for Mansoor Ijaz during his possible stay in Pakistan.
He said the committee reviewed the statement of the attorney general and reached the conclusion that prima facie the arrangements for the security of Mansoor Ijaz, who was scheduled to appear before the committee, were adequate.
“The committee feels that if Mansoor Ijaz has any apprehensions regarding his security, it may be addressed keeping in view rules and law of the land,” he added.
| And if you can't trust the law of the land in Pakistain, what can you trust? |
Rabbani said the committee has decided to issue a fresh notice to Mansoor Ijaz asking him to appear before it on February 10. The chairman said that the memo commission secretary will also be requested to hand over the notice to Mansoor Ijaz when he would meet him at the airport to collect evidence. |
