Parliamentary body receives no response from IjazISLAMABAD: Mansoor Ijaz, the central character in the memo scandal, did not submit his statement to Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS), which met on Tuesday to discuss the controversy. The committee directed the attorney general to apprise it about security arrangements made for the Pakistani-American businessman, at its next meeting tomorrow (Thursday). Mansoor Ijaz on Monday refused to come to Pakistan to testify before a judicial commission probing the memo controversy because of “security threats”. Committee Chairman Senator Mian Raza Rabbani told reporters after the meeting that the committee had received statements of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt General Ahmed Shuja Pasha and former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani. “But no verbal or written response has been received from Mansoor Ijaz,” he added. tanveer ahmed
