Who Paid The Diyat Money To The Killed Heirs...?
The mystery shrouding the controversial Diyat deal that brought a dramatic end to the Raymond Davis saga has been compounded by the US denial that it didn’t pay compensation to the victim families. If the US has not made the payment, who did foot the hefty bill then?
“The US government did not pay compensation, and the US position has been vindicated that Raymond Davis had immunity to prosecution,” US Embassy spokesperson Alberto Rodriguez told reporter on Thursday. The reluctance of Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua to offer her comment on US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s remarks that the United States did not pay compensation has further deepened the mystery.
However, sources privy to these developments insisted the Pakistani government solely manipulated the entire game from Diyat payment to indictment, acquittal and rushed-up departure of the killer.
Citing logical sequence of developments relating to Raymond Davis, sources said that four ministries, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Law, Justice and Human Rights and Ministry of Law of the Punjab handled the matter.
Sources believed that the onus lies on either one or two or all of the four ministries handling the Raymond Davis case. However, some of the sources blamed the federal and the provincial law ministries for their direct involvement.
None of official spokespersons for the federal ministries of Interior as well as Law and Justice were available for comments till late at night.
