Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has endorsed Pakistan Peoples Party’s demand to public Abbottabad Commission report.
Defence Minister in ‘Geo News’ programme, ‘Jirga’, endorsed PPP demand to make Abbottabad Commission report public.
“The report might hurt someone but despite this, it should be made public,” he asserted.
Referring to leaked letter on visa policy during the former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s tenure, he has demanded that the matter of issuing visas directly to Americans against proper policy in the government of Pakistan People’s Party should be handed over to a parliamentary committee.
The Minister also reiterated that there were speculations that former Ambassador of Pakistan to US, Husain Haqqani himself was leaking the documents.
According to the letter, ‘leaked’ to media and signed by Gilani’s Principal Secretary Nargis Sethi, ‘The Ambassador in Washington is empowered to issue visas valid up to one year without the Embassy having to refer each such aforementioned visa application to the concerned authorities in Pakistan.’
Former PM Gilani on Friday said investigations should be conducted into presence of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Pakistan instead of visas issued by Pakistan’s US embassy to Americans.
