Haqqani's Blackmail





Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States Mr. Husain Haqqani is an insecure man these days.  Members of his own government as well as the opposition are gunning for his head as the prime suspect in the Kerry-Lugar bill fiasco were anti-Pakistan clauses were inserted in an aid bill.  There are reports his own government has reached a secret deal with the military to quietly ease the man out of his power seat. 


Ever the consummate media manipulater [ex-journalist, professor and an admirable social climber], Mr. Haqqani tried to send a message to the Pakistani establishment through a prestigious American platform: If I am fired, I will reveal ugly and embarrassing secrets.


When The Nation picked up the story, he slapped the respected daily newspaper with a defamation lawsuit worth Rs. One billion.


So what is it that has really unsettled the man who has President Zardari's ear, and rubs shoulders with the powerful in Washington?  Read on ...

  2. Actually Pakistan is being presently ruled by political filth more popularly known as Meer Jafar/Meer Sadiq class of politicians who are always prepared to auction Pakistan's integrity/sovereignty/solidarity/solemnity & development at any price they can attract the auctioneer to pay for it. If Haqqani is brave enough to threaten the govt it means he's also a member of the group of political filth having many secrets linked with Pakistan's auctioneers which he can also auction at a high rate & presently it is the seat at which he's sitting and trying to auction Pakistan. If this seat is gone then all his future plans are gone & he's ready to gamble for this seat at any cost whether it may be Pakistan's sovereignty.
