ISLAMABAD, Sep 30(ABC): In yet another twist and turn of the events, a meeting of the federal cabinet on Friday was informed that the cipher, which PTI referred to as conspiracy to overthrow former prime minister Imran Khan-led govt, has gone missing from PM House record.
A meeting of the federal cabinet under the chairmanship of PM Shehbaz Sharif was held on Friday in which the issue of audio leaks was discussed in detail.
A special committee of the cabinet has been formed to investigate the audios related to the diplomatic cipher in the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and it has been informed that the copy of the cipher is missing from the records of the Prime Minister House.
The cabinet also expressed serious concern over the fact that the audios of the former prime minister, former principal secretary to the prime minister and other persons related to the diplomatic cipher have exposed the criminal conspiracy of the former government and Imran Khan.
The meeting noted that vital national interests were damaged by giving concocted meaning to a diplomatic cypher for political gains and it [the cypher] was stolen after “fraud, forgery and fabrication”.
It was strong violation of the constitutional oath, other related laws and regulations particularly the official secret. It was the act of unpardonable crimes against the state through which political interests were given priority over the vital national interests.
Therefore, it was necessary under the constitution, law and rules to investigate the issue in detail and those found responsible be given severe punishment in accordance with the law.
