Mr Haqqani thanks another admirer who wrote an email to an American journalist who had questioned the memo`s authenticity. “Thank you. You raised some good points,” he wrote.

“Already contradicted. IT never contacted me or any one I know. Raises Qs abt their credibility,” he wrote about the BBM messages Mr Ijaz had released.

In another message, he thanks an American journalist for describing him as a “patriot without honour in his country”.

In one message, he rejects the rumours surrounding his return to Pakistan as “nonsense of the kind that float around” in such situations in the Pakistani media. “I do not fear arrest & will go home,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Mr Ijaz has confirmed meeting the ISI chief on Oct 22 and giving him transcripts of his communications with Mr Haqqani.

“It is time for Pakistan`s people to learn the whole truth about the leaders they have chosen,” he wrote in a message sent to the media.

“Should the formal inquiry ask me to appear and give evidence, I am prepared to travel to Pakistan and in an appropriately secured environment and give the evidence in my possession, allow forensic examination of my records and ensure that the truth which
I hold is aired in the fullest manner possible,” he wrote.

“I am prepared to face Amb Haqqani, to debate him, to challenge him on his recollection of the facts and to make absolutely sure that neither he nor his superiors are able to distort a truth that was of their own conception.”

In the same message, Mr Ijaz praises Mr Haqqani`s services for Pakistan, saying: “The ambassador has served his country ably and should be proud of his record in helping American lawmakers and officials understand one of the world`s most complex political,
military and religious environments.”

But his achievements did not give the envoy “licence to distort the truth in a matter as grave as this. Amb Haqqani has been a champion of that democracy, and it is now time for the transparency to which he has subscribed in public so often to demonstrate
itself — the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” he concludes.
