A five-page reply was submitted in the SC by Hussain Haqqani pertaining to Memo commission report.

“The commission challenged my loyalty with Pakistan by violating its jurisdiction as it was assigned to probe the Memo gate,” Haqqani said in his written reply.

Despite several prejudice petitions, the Memo Commission held me responsible for Memo gate in his report, he said.
