Ambassador’s resignation

Letter November 17, 2011
Sadly, I see Pakistan being led by establishments ‘boys’ like Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi in near future.

LONDON: The offer to resign by Pakistan’s ambassador to America, Husain Haqqani, is a bad thing for democracy and a huge win for the establishment. Ambassador Haqqani has been one of our best ambassadors and really fought hard to make Pakistan’s case in Washington. Sadly, I see Pakistan being led by establishments ‘boys’ like Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the near future. Democracy will be taking a step backwards once again.
