ISLAMABAD ? A Pakistani parliamentarian says the Supreme Court has barred the country's former envoy to the U.S. from leaving, while a commission investigates his role in a memo scandal that led to his resignation.
Khwaja Asif says the court on Thursday ordered former Ambassador Husain Haqqani to remain in the country, and appointed a special commissioner to probe the incident.
Haqqani has been accused of crafting a memo asking the U.S. for help in reining in Pakistan's military, following the American raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May. Asif is one of nine lawmakers who requested an investigation into the allegations.
Haqqani has denied involvement. He said Thursday that he had not been officially notified of the court decision, but that he did not intend to travel.
