Groaning under increasing pressure from the Pakistani army and intelligence service establishment, Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States and close friend of President Asif Ali Zardari has resigned to address the high-level research.
The meeting noted that Ambassador Husain Haqqani has been called to Islamabad to give his viewpoint to the country's leadership on the controversial memo," The Dawn quoted the President's spokesman Farhatullah Babar, as saying.
"It is observed that natural justice demands that the ambassador is given a fair opportunity to give his version on the controversy," he added.
Haqqani would have told President Asif Ali Zardari after being in his position clear to Pakistan that had nothing to do with the notes.
The controversy led to his resignation broke out October 10, 2011, during the Pakistan-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz in an editorial for the Financial Times claimed to have helped deliver the message to Husain Haqqani Mike Mullen in the wake of the raid U.S. military in Abbottabad.
