“I have to take decision about my own security,” he said.
Haqqani said he would approach the International Court of Justice if a case is registered against him.
“There is no provision in law of the land that requires of me to return to Pakistan,” he said. Haqqani asked why his statement was not recorded through video tape.
He claimed that aim of the memo was strengthening of democracy in Pakistan.
“I am being made a scapegoat,” he said.
