میمو کیس: ویڈیو کانفرنس کا انتظام
امریکہ کے سابق فوجی سربراہ کو پاکستان کے سابق سفیر کی جانب سے مبینہ طور پر تحریر کیے گئے متنازعہ خط کی تفتیش کرنے والے عدالتی کمیشن کے سربراہ کی ہدایت پر کمرہ عدالت میں ویڈیو کانفرنس کی سہولت فراہم کی جا رہی ہے جس کے ذریعے بیرون ملک رابطہ بھی کیا جا سکے گا۔
کمیشن کے ذرائع نے بی بی سی کو بتایا ہے کہ ابھی یہ واضح نہیں کہ یہ ویڈیو لنک کسی خاص شخصیت کے لیے لگایا جا رہا ہے یا کمیشن کے لیے کسی عمومی ضرورت کے تحت اس کی تنصیب کی جا رہی ہے۔
سپریم کورٹ کے چیف جسٹس افتخار محمد چوہدری نے بلوچستان ہائی کورٹ کے چیف جسٹس قاضی فائز عیسیٰ کی سربراہی میں یہ کمیشن متنازعہ مراسلے کی تفتیش کے لیے قائم کیا تھا۔
گزشتہ ہفتے کمیشن کے پہلے اجلاس میں متنازعہ خط کے مبینہ تحریر کنندہ سابق سفیر حسین حقانی پیش ہوئے تھے اور انہوں نے اپنا بیان ریکارڈ کروایا تھا۔
کہا جا رہا تھا کہ اس سکینڈل کے ایک اور مرکزی کردار منصور اعجاز جنہوں نے حسین حقانی پر ایڈمرل مائیک مولن کے نام مراسلہ تحریر کرنے کا الزام عائد کیا تھا، وہ کمیشن کے دوسرے اجلاس میں پیش ہوں گے جو سولہ جنوری کو منعقد ہونا ہے۔
تاہم کمیشن کے ذرائع کا کہنا ہے کہ منصور اعجاز کی جانب سے ابھی تک اس اجلاس میں شرکت کی تصدیق نہیں کی گئی۔
منصور اعجاز کے وکیل اکرم شیخ نے کمیشن کے سامنے اپنے مؤکل کی زندگی کو لاحق خطرات کا ذکر کیا تھا جس پر کمیشن نے انہیں مکمل تحفظ فراہم کرنے کی ہدایات جاری کی تھیں۔
کمیشن ذرائع کے مطابق حکام کمرہ عدالت میں بین الاقوامی ویڈیو لنک کا انتظام کر رہے ہیں جس کے ممکنہ استعمال کے بارے میں کوئی بات یقینی نہیں ہے کیونکہ منصور اعجاز کے علاوہ بعض دیگر امریکی حکام بھی اس مقدمے میں فریق ہیں جنہوں نے اپنے تحریری بیانات پاکستانی عدالت کے سامنے پیش کیے تھے۔
ذرائع امکان ظاہر کر رہے ہیں کہ کمیشن ان افسران سے بھی انٹرویو کرنا چاہتا ہے۔
Is Pakistan facing a military coup? [Al Jazeera]
Pakistan is facing an unprecedented crisis.
| "The army has never been interested in taking over ... they know the environment for the next martial law is simply not there. The army wants the facts and reality of the Memogate scandal to come to light in one way or the other." - Hamid Nawaz, retired general/military analyst |
Throughout the country's 64-year history, there have always been tensions between civilian governments and the military.
But this time, there is a bitter feud between the government of Asif Ali Zardari, and the generals.

And it is being fought very publicly in the media.
All this in a country with an economy in tailspin; a country at the centre of the West's fight against the Taliban; and of course a country equipped with a nuclear arsenal.

In the latest twist - making things even more acrimonious - Yousuf Reza Gilani, the Pakistani prime minister, has fired retired General Naeem Khalid Lodhi, the country's defence secretary over claims of a coup plot.
How will this battle end? And is the government already so weak and discredited that it may soon fall?

Officials: Pakistani PM called UK, fearing coup
Officials: Pakistani PM called UK, fearing coup
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's prime minister telephoned the top British diplomat in the country this week expressing fears that the Pakistani army might be about to stage a coup, a British official and an official in Islamabad said Friday.
The call, which one official said was "panicky", suggests there was — or perhaps still is — a genuine fear at the highest level of the Pakistani government that army might carry out a coup or support possible moves by the Supreme Court to topple the civilian leadership.
Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gilani asked High Commissioner Adam Thomson for Britain to support his embattled government, according to the officials, who didn't give their names because of the sensitivity of the issue. It's unclear if the British government took any action.
Such is the weakness of state institutions, Pakistani leaders have often looked to foreign powers, especially the United States and Gulf countries, to intervene in domestic affairs, mediate disputes between feuding power centers or "guarantee" agreements between them.
The army, which has staged four coups in Pakistan's history and is believed to consider itself the only true custodian of the country's interests, has never liked the civilian government headed by Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari.
But a scandal that erupted late last year, which centered on an unsigned memo sent to Washington asking for its help in heading off a supposed coup following the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, has brought the army and civilian government into near-open confrontation.
While most analysts say army chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has little appetite for a coup, they say the generals may be happy to allow the Supreme Court to dismiss the government by "constitutional means."
A Supreme Court commission is probing the memo affair, which in theory could lead to Zardari's ouster.
The court has also ordered the government to open corruption investigations into Zardari dating back years. The government has refused. Earlier this week, the court said it could dismiss Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gilani over the case. Judges are convening Monday for what could be a decisive session.
While its lawmakers are widely seen as both corrupt and ineffectual, they — unlike the army and the judges — have some legitimacy because they were elected to office. Pakistan history of successive military coups and interference in the democratic process by the courts and the army are main cause of the country's current malaise, proponents of democracy say.
The nuclear-armed country is facing a host of problems, among them near economic collapse and a virulent al-Qaida- and Taliban-led insurgency. The fight against the militant has been complicated by allegations that the country's main Inter-Services Intelligence is supporting some of the insurgents.
On Friday, a government-appointed commission investigating the unsolved murder of a journalist last year said that the ISI needed to be more "law-abiding." The report did not find enough evidence to name any perpetrators in the death of Saleem Shahzad, who was killed after he told friends he had been threatened by the ISI.
The commission called on the ISI to be made more accountable to the government through internal reviews and oversight by parliament. It said its interactions with reporters should be closely monitored.
Also Friday, militants assaulted a police station in the northwestern city of Peshawar, shooting dead three officers and wounding nine others, said police officer Saeed Khan.
The Pakistani Taliban have carried out hundreds of attacks on the country's army and other security forces since 2007. The attack came a day after militants armed with guns and grenades killed four Pakistani soldiers in an ambush in the South Waziristan tribal area.
