Government Was Not Interested In Providing Adequate Security To His Client-- Akram Sheikh

Mansoor Ijaz’s counsel, Akram Shaikh, in a letter written to Army chief and Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) has complained that government was not providing adequate security to his client Mansoor Ijaz, the protagonist of memogate scandal, a private news channel reported.
Shaikh wrote to Chief of the Army Staff, Ashfaq Parvez Kayani that his client had been issued a visa and was ready to travel to Pakistan, but no assurance had been shared with him regarding his (Mansoor Ijaz’s)) security measures, to be provided by the army at the behest of the judicial commission.
Shaikh, in the letter, also warned that if he failed to find the promised security measures as satisfactory, he’d be obliged to request his client to call off his visit to Pakistan, which only the government would be held responsible for.
Addressing Attorney General of Pakistan, Akram Shaikh, in his letter, warned him of a contempt case for failing to implement court’s order in this regard. He also asked the AGP to keep the interior minister out of Mansoor Ijaz’s security matters.
Shaikh also wrote to AGP that the people who pose a threat to his client were trying to provide him with security, which was unacceptable.
