The embattled Pakistan Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani has left for Islamabad from Dalas airport, Washington and he is expected to arrive here by Sunday morning, Geo News reported.

How many people will be doomed by the storm triggered by memo sent to former US joint chiefs of staff chairman Mike Mullen is a question filling everybody's mind at the moment.

Pakistan Muslim League-N President Nawaz Sharif on Saturday called for constitution of a commission to probe the secret memo and warned to go to the Supreme Court in case the government failed to do so.

Former advisor National Security Council (NSC) Lt. Gen. (Retd) Mehmood Durrani Saturday termed everything linked to him in Mansoor Ijaz's memo as 'lunacy'.

Talking to Geo News, Durrani clarified that neither did he have any knowledge of the aforementioned memo nor was he consulted in writing its content.

Former army chief General (Retd) Jehangir Karamat also expressed his ignorance regarding the existence of any such memorandum.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that Pakistan's ambassador to Washington, Hussain Haqqani, did not write a letter seeking US help against the country's powerful military.

However, he was involved in communication via text message with an American national, Rehman Malik said.

He said the evidence available was "an exchange of SMS messages and Blackberry messages" and added: "Now we have to see that who initiated these."

Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said Hussain Haqqani had been recalled and that he would soon reach in Islamabad.

Any decision before listening to him would be a mistake, the Prime Minister asserted.

On the other hand, Mansoor Ijaz has provided fresh evidence regarding the Mike Mullen memo. The new evidence also includes proof of his communication with Hussain Haqqani.
