Transcripts of Blackberry messenger conversations between Hussain Haqqani and Mansoor Ijaz – Part 6
Thursday, November 24th, 2011 6:27:37 by Ali AhmedMI: Hi buddy, I understand you/ your foreign office hacks are commissioning hatchet pieces against me. Unfortunate…. very unfortunate
HH: I will enquire and stop them. There s no need for any of this.
HH: You haven t helped by engaging so much w/ Pak media.
HH: What happened to the silent soldier ?
MI: I issued a statement that was designed to put an end to all of this after Imran Khan s rally nonsense. But be that as it may, I m not going to tolerate character assassination in any of this
HH: I agree
HH: Will do my best to prevent it
MI: Roger that
HH: Focus on your policy message instead of who did what and we can turn this around
MI: Please remind your boss that his beloved wife, who later became a good friend of mine, tried the same bullshit tactics in 1996 when Maleeha was envoy – result: her government was dismissed in Nov 1996.
MI: I m not someone he can mess around with. He better get that message from me and really understand it
HH: My response to Imran was very simple and true: I did not write a treasonous letter and if Imran has a copy, he should present it
HH: I don t think your threatening helps
MI: That s true from my point of view as well. But politicians are politicians
MI: I don t make threats. I state facts. Your boss needs reminding of the facts
HH: Are you sure your side won t deny?
MI: No, maybe they will. But that would also be a mistake. Too much proof on that side as well.
HH: But does "proving" help anything?
HH: Is it not the nature of a private mission that officials deny it?
MI: Don t know. Don t care. My point is simple – I ve said what I was going to. Attacks on my person will not be tolerated. And my statement stands. Stop telling lies about me and I might just stip telling the truth about you
HH: If you were to listen to my advice, you would let this blow over and prove yourself afterwards. You are the one who will outlast the flying shit 🙂
HH: That is usually my strategy: be there when the others have self-destructed or blown over
MI: I ve kept to my word – if everyone wants to call it a fabrication and make me the fall guy, then gloves come off and it s not going to be fun or pretty for anyone
MI: You did something you thought was right outside channels because you felt it would be the most effective way to get the job done. I helped you execute. I haven t thrown you under the bus. But be damn sure I won t let anyone do that to me
HH: I ll do what I can to keep it pretty
HH: I haven t. I won t.
MI: By the way, I know a lot more than you give me credit for about the circumstances that led to May 1 and your role in all that. Just FYI
HH: Honorable ppl stick with one another. Take care.
MI: 😉
HH: I am maintaining silence so pls check with me before reacting if some Pak journo attributes anything to me
MI: It s interesting (and heartening) to see that many of the proposals made in the memo are now being implemented in the bilateral relationship. Very good
