Mansoor Ijaz yet to apply for Pakistan visa

January 13, 2012 12:10

The Trinbune, Pakistan reports that it is not a question of if but when Mansoor Ijaz will come to Pakistan.

The central character in the Memogate scandal is likely to not appear before the judicial commission probing the matter on January 16, recent developments suggest.

Akram Sheikh, counsel for the Pakistani-origin American businessman Mansoor Ijaz, at the last hearing on January 9 had said that his client will appear before the panel on January 16.

That appears unlikely given that he has yet to submit a visa request. "We have not received a visa application by Mansoor Ijaz, either at the High Commission in London or any other consulate," Foreign Office Spokesperson Abdul Basit said on Thursday.
