US cipher is a reality, says PTI

ISLAMABAD – Responding to the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government’s decision to take action against former prime minister Imran Khan over his alleged audio leaks about US cipher, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said that cabinet summary proved that the US cypher is a reality.

Addressing a press conference in Multan on Sunday, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the government accepted their stance on the cipher. He maintained that they never took a step that harmed the national security.

“The government is in a frenzy,” the PTI leader said, adding they were not afraid of an investigation.

PTI leader Shibli Faraz said, “Cipher is a reality.”

He maintained that it was shared by PTI’s government with the then National Assembly speaker and Chief Justice of Pakistan amongst others.

Meanwhile, sharing a copy of the summary prepared by the sub-committee of the cabinet, Fawad Chaudhry pointed out the date of the cypher received to the then government and said that he hoped that PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz “will not change her position on cypher investigation from independent commission”.
