In his recent article, \u201c&#8221;Yes, the Russian ambassador met Trump\u2019s team. So?That\u2019s what we diplomats do\u201d Haqqani wrote \u201cThe relationships I forged with members of Obama\u2019s campaign team also led to closer cooperation between Pakistan and the United States in fighting terrorism over the 31\/2 years I served as ambassador. These connections eventually enabled the United States to discover and eliminate bin Laden without depending on Pakistan\u2019s intelligence service or military, which were suspected of sympathy toward Islamist militants.\u201d In other words, he confessed that he facilitated CIA spies to launch operation inside Pakistani territory.<br \/>\nOsama was killed in Pakistan or not is a different story as US has not given any proof to it but Haqqani\u2019s article and confession depicts the nefarious role played by a Pakistani Ambassador in defaming its country. Moreover, the writing of an article in renowned US daily is a clear indication of his loyalties with his masters in CIA, who want to keep the issue of OBL killing live by publishing the story time and again as they did in case of alleged proliferation by AQ Khan.<br \/>\nAppointing a man of duplicitous character as Pakistan\u2019s ambassador to US was a serious blow to Pakistan\u2019s relations with superpower. And HussainHaqqani exploited the granted opportunity at its fullest. Haqqani is known for shifting loyalties even in Pakistani politics. He began to develop a coherent argument against the military\u2019s dominance of Pakistani politics. He was in student politics some 43 years ago, affiliated with the IslamiJamiat-e-Talaba (IJT); he praised General ZiaulHaq in the 1980s as a young journalist before working for Nawaz Sharif. He switched sides and became close to Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari, ending up as Pakistan\u2019s ambassador to the US after a stint in exile during the Musharraf years. His appointment as ambassador to US by PPP was nothing less than a treason again Pakistan. During his tenure, he not only ruined his bilateral ties between two allies but facilitated RAW\/ CIA to carry out nefarious activities inside Pakistan.<br \/>\nIn an article titled, \u201cWhy Are We Sending This Attack Helicopter to Pakistan?\u201dHaqqani wrote for the WSJ, \u201cinstead of being deployed against jihadists, American weapons will end up being used to fight or menace India and perceived domestic enemies\u201d. To which Pakistan may have asked, who\u2019s \u2018we\u2019? Of late, Pakistan\u2019s former ambassador to the US has become the US\u2019s ambassador to Pakistan \u2014 if that ambassador were a nagging neocon with an axe to grind. But he can\u2019t be even termed as US Ambassador to Pakistan because mostly US ambassadors to Pakistan have portrayed a positive image of Pakistan in their statements and writings. For instance, Cameron Munter and Robin Raphel always praised Pakistan for playing a positive role at regional and global level.<br \/>\nThough he was nominated as Pakistan\u2019s ambassador to US and his job was to enhance bilateral ties between two countries, instead Haqqani played at the hands of CIA\/ RAW to spoil bilateral relations between Pakistan and US. According to media reports, he granted Pakistani visa to hundreds of CIA agents within a few days. Vali Nasr in his renowned book, Dispensable Nation has noted that there is more CIA presence and lesser diplomatic US presence in Pakistan.<br \/>\nAfter his removal as ambassador from US, he has been playing openly in the hands of Indians. He frequently visits India and attends seminars and conferences, where his only purpose is to deliver anti-Pakistan speeches. His academic critique of Pakistan\u2019s state ideology, and defence and foreign policies must be ridiculed as that of an opportunist, who now works either for the Americans or the Indians, or possibly both. Haqqani is a turncoat and a traitor whose nationality must be revoked by government of Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Khan In his latest article published in leading US daily, \u201cThe Washington Post\u201d, Pakistan\u2019s ex-ambassador to US,HussainHaqqaniappointed by Pakistan People\u2019s Party leadership, has successfully libeledPakistan at behest of his masters in RAW and CIA.
