Memogate case: Army likely to submit rejoinder tomorrow
The army is likely to submit its rejoinder tomorrow (Wednesday).
The court’s nine-member bench had asked army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha to submit their response to replies submitted by Husain Haqqani, Mansoor Ijaz and the government.
The court had also asked the federal government to refute or affirm – within two days – the positions taken by the ISI and army chief in their earlier replies.
Zardari’s reply
President Asif Ali Zardari will meet Attorney General today and seek legal advice from him regarding his reply to the Supreme Court's notice.
Last week, when the president was unwell, the Attorney General had ruled out the submission of Zardari’s reply in the Memogate case.

A current service chief filing avidavit in a court of law without having it vetted by the Ministry of Defence is the latest model of Parliamentary Democracy! Pakistan can never cease to amuse the world.
The views of the military and the civilian government are diametrically opposite. Let the court investigate the matter, analyse the evidence and then come to a conclusion. Let the chips fall where they may.
Vienna,December 20,2011 Here is the key. The Attorney General represents the government including the President.The CoAs and the head of Inter Services Intelligence,ISI are also expected to go to the Supreme Court by the same channel not through an independent legal representative. The matter is already hot with Asma Jehangir appearing for Mr.Hussain Haqqani and Communist Party of Pakistan represented by its own legal means before the Apex Court.We have to wait and watch with due patience.
