Husain Haqqani is thinking about suing Imran Khan for slander

An ex-diplomat finds it odd that Imran Khan attributes the cause of his fall to someone who has been out of office for 11 years.

Husain Haqqani, the former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, refuted the claims made against him by Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and said that he has sought legal counsel to pursue legal action against the former premier.

The former prime minister charged Gen (retd) Bajwa with using Haqqani’s services for US propaganda at a Sunday meeting with journalists in Lahore.

Additionally, the ousted prime minister said Haqqani ran an attack against him and had been endorsing the former army chief in the US.

It is sad that @ImranKhanPTI continues to invoke my name in matters which do not concern me. Strange that he blames for his downfall someone with no position of power for 11 years, no political party, no army, & no intelligence service. Why is research/writing threatening? ????

Khan made some severe accusations, and Haqqani responded by saying that the PTI leader never gets tired of accusing someone who has been out of a position of authority for 11 years. He claimed that the former prime still uses his name to discuss issues that don’t affect him.

When questioned about legal procedures, the former envoy tweets, “I have requested my lawyers to take action.”

According to sources close to the former ambassador, Haqqani hasn’t been involved in Pakistani politics for a long time. They claimed that Haqqani was employed as a researcher by a US lobbying firm.

The sources continued, “Husain Haqqani is not accountable for his research work.”

According to the sources, Haqqani has never expressed a desire in cooperating with the PTI.

They said, “He has written hundreds of articles, and four books, and will keep writing.”

After the “memogate” controversy, which gained him notoriety in 2011, Haqqani was fired. Months after the US attack in Abbottabad in 2011 on Osama Bin Laden’s hideout, he was accused of requesting US action against Pakistan’s military through the alleged memo amid a widening gap between the civilian and military leadership.

He was also charged with bypassing officials, embezzling money, and granting American citizens visas without following the proper procedures.
