Writing for the popular American magazine, Newsweek Mansoor Ijaz has also claimed that Husain Haqqani had changed his BlackBerry handset and pin code three times since May to cover up his involvement in the Memogate scandal. “Maybe he hoped that changing PINs would erase his damning conversations from my handset,” Ijaz wrote, “Unfortunately for him, they remain preserved—now in a bank vault—in exactly their original form on my original device as he and I exchanged them.” According to another television channel report, the US businessman who has made several appearances on television since the memo scandal was revealed as saying that he has never made these claims before.
