It is pertinent to mention here that the probing commission had earlier given a number of orders and sent out a spate of notices to all respondents of the case, besides seeking the equipment used to communicate over, and then send, the memo in question and also ordered that message records be requested from Research in Motion (RIM) - the Canada-based service provider of BlackBerry Messenger, through which the two Ijaz and former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani allegedly exchanged messages regarding the memo.
Appearing for Mansoor Ijaz, Senior Advocate Akram Sheikh informed the Secretary of Commission that on instruction his client has offered to waive his privacy rights with regard to the two Pin nos, on which he was in communication with Former Ambassador Haqqani and has also prayed that commission may ask Hussain Haqqani also to waive his privacy rights with regard to two Pin nos on which he had been communicating with Sheikh's client.
Sheikh submitted this will make the probe into the matter expeditious and commission shall be able to meet the deadline fixed by the Supreme Court.
He had further prayed the commission to issue direction for issuance of visa to him either to Swiss Embassy or British High Commission London.
The commission has also summoned President Asif Ali Zardari, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (DG-ISI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on January 9. (PPI)
