A petition filed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) which sought a probe into the memogate scandal was admitted by the Supreme Court on Monday. Registrar Office of the apex court accepted the petition after scrutiny. A cause-list is expected to be drawn by the end of this week, after which a date will be scheduled for a hearing. In his petition, Nawaz requested that the court summon the respondents, including President Asif Ali Zardari, former ambassador Husain Haqqani, Mansoor Ijaz, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Inter-Services Intelligence chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha, and demand an explanation. During last week's rally in Faisalabad, Nawaz had said: "If there is not an impartial inquiry into this event with the satisfaction of the people of this country, we will definitely take it up in the Supreme Court." The memogate scandal began when Admiral Mike Mullen confirmed the existence of a controversial memo, allegedly sent by President Zardari via a trusted source. Former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani resigned after being involved in the controversy.
