Hussain Haqqani? - Marianna Baabar
That the MOU is not Afghanistan and Pakistan specific was also revealed by a television interview of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who said that it was 'regional’ in essence, not to mention the fact that the initial draft was submitted by Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani. “This unsolicited initiative of the Pakistan envoy has not been received well in certain powerful circles of Rawalpindi-Islamabad,” said a source.
According to one top state functionary, who requested not to be identified, “This must be the only government which does not listen at all and one wonders whether it is Ambassador Hussain Haqqani and Richard Holbrook who are in charge of Pakistan’s destiny. There is complimentarily between Pakistan and Indian products entering in Afghanistan. Such goods are mainly plastic products, steel and hardware goods, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, petroleum related products, vehicles (truck, buses, tractors etc), electronics and appliances, stationary items, pipes and tubes etc”, he said.
