This paper explores the linguistic construal of political identity in Memogate Scandal in Pakistan with a focus on its discursive construction in a way that portrays the main stakeholders: Government, Opposition and the former Pakistani Ambassador to the US. The linguistic choices which are significant to key aspects of identity discourses within a coherent framework reflect the underlying ideology of the journalists. Therefore, deconstructing texts to identify agents helps the analysts to uncover implicit interpretations and biases that media discourses exhibit. The paper draws on two analytical frameworks of discourse analysis i.e., transitivity analysis and kinds of entities (Martin and Rose, 2003). The reason for working with two frameworks is that the former helps in finding entities deployed in different roles on the cline of dynamism (Hasan, 1985) and the latter is done through participant representation at the level of nominal group, classified in three categories - concrete, abstract and metaphoric. The analysis has shown noticeable linguistic resources which help writers to refer to entities in an ideological way; for example, in the government category, the Pakistan leader has been referred as Zardari - a politician vs. the President and Presidency, and the ambassador has been shown likewise. In contrast, entities from the opposition have been deployed in individual capacities like Nawaz, Imran etc.
