'Pak Army, ISI chiefs adopted wrong procedure to reply to SC in Memo Gate case'

Islamabad, Jan 18 (ANI): Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) president Yasin Azad has said that Army chief General Ashfaq Perevz Kayani and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha did not follow the right procedure for filing their replies in the Memo Gate case.

Azad also said that army was subordinate to the prime minister under the constitution, The Dawn reports.

Meanwhile, reports have suggested that Mansoor Ijaz, the Pakistani-American businessman key in the Memo Gate scandal, has received his visa and is expected to arrive at Chaklala Airbase in Pakistan on January 24th to testify in the memo issue.

Although the government claimed that Ijaz will also be given high-level security during his stay in the country, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik yesterday hinted at registering a treason case against him for allegedly playing a role in the fall of a Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government in 1990s, and for maligning the Pakistan Army and the ISI.
