WASHINGTON: Pakistan’s ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani said Thursday that President Asif Ali Zardari would make a decision about his future, Geo News reported.



Haqqani said he offered to resign to send a message to those trying to destabilise democracy.



Speaking on Geo News programme Capital Talk, Haqqani said he had not written a memo nor had he delivered any, adding he had only met Manzoor Ijaz a few times.



“The memo was just an excuse and democracy was the real target” Haqqani said.



The ambassador added that not his job but democracy and Pakistan were dear to him and that he would be coming to country in the next few days.



Earlier Haqqani had written a letter to President Zardari and offered to resign from his post over the issue of a memo, which was reportedly sent to Mike Mullen.



Manzoor Ijaz alleged in a column in the Financial Times last month that a senior Pakistani diplomat asked for assistance in getting a memo from Zardari to Admiral Mike Mullen.
