Salman Bashir likely to replace Haqqani as Pak’s US Envoy?

Islamabad, Mar.3 (ANI): Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir is likely to replace Hussain Haqqani as the country’s Ambassador to the United States.

According to sources, Pakistan’s Envoy to China Masood Khan will be replacing Bashir.

The government is not happy with Haqqani’s handling of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s case and has made up its mind to replace him, The Nation reports.

Haqqani had faced severe criticism over the inclusion of some stern conditions in the Kerry Lugar bill, but he somehow succeeded to avert the pressure by using some influential political connections.

However, this time around he is unlikely to prevent himself from being axed from the post, as the Gilani government is under tremendous pressure to sack him after he failed to secure the safe return of Siddiqui, the Al-Qaeda terror suspect who is currently languishing in a US jail and has been charged of firing at US officials in Afghanistan.(ANI)

Haqqani is one of the smartest ambassadors Pakistan ever had. He’s sharp, well spoken and very logical. Don’t judge him just because he’s appointed by Zardari, see how and what he speaks. We will have to acknowledge his contribution especially with Benazir Bhutto. His wife Farahnaz Ispahani stood by BB against Musharraf. He skillfully tackle all bad patch when Pakistan was being depict a failed state. Besides being an Ambassador, he teaches at the Boston University as Associate Professor for International Relations, he is co-chair of a project at Hudson Institute Washington DC. Along with this, he has to his credit hundreds of articles in newspapers, magazines and journals and is regularly involved in research and analysis work pertaining to politics, Islam, government, and others.

I have no doubt about his capabilities but it is the use of those qualities and capabilities that bother me.

The first time this news came it was back in October last year. Who started the gossip/rumours? None other than the Ahmed Quraishi/Zaid Hamid/Pak Alert Press/Pakistan Ka Khuda Hafiz nexus. The Nation also covered it thanks to Shireen Mazari being there.

Who has come with the news again? The Nation and again the same nexus. Reporter is same as always Kaswar Klasara. They certainly hate Haqqani. No hidden love between the sides

Please read little more than the subject...
Hussain Haqqani is a traitor and that was the plan due to his assistance to india in drafting of KL bill but Hussain Haqqani black mailed and openly threatened to leak Zardari's deal with US... hence it all ended.
Now it is only known to sindh daily..... and is just for the purpose of test the pulse of public. He will never be fired.... as he is a black mailer too.

Any how Salman Bashir is another Husain Haqqani.... he has given free hand to to indians to run the blame game.
He is also responsible for appointing undeserving employees in various Pakistani embassies world wide.

I am no fan of him but this is awesome :rofl::rofl::rofl:
We have always allowed for non carrier diplomats to become ambassadors in the US and UK time and again and smaller capitals are frequently occupied by handpicked people but hardly have allow for a non career diplomat to be in Delhi and Beijing because they require careful handling. The US has been directly negotiating with our government for years. Hussain Haqqani isn't drafting american policies let alone helping Indians.

Another awesome point. I nominate you for ambassadorship in Delhi. You seem to have very good negotiating skills and a keen eye to judge the intentions of everybody. :rofl:

Do you even know the procedure the FO has to follow for nominating an ambassador's name to the President?

I think he is doing a very good job. he has a tendency to be a little partisan and always makes the PPP look good not all of pakistan. If he fixes this then i think that he can be a great ambassador.
