TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARBBC:
Mr Haqqani was summoned to Islamabad last week — he quit after meeting Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders on Tuesday.
“I have requested PM Gilani to accept my resignation as Pakistan ambassador to US,” he said in a Twitter post shortly after the meeting.
… “I have much to contribute to building a new Pakistan free of bigotry and intolerance,” Mr Haqqani said in another Twitter post. “Will focus energies on that.”
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
