PTI calls for trial of military secretary of ex-PM Imran

Author: Agencies

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan Monday called for the trial of former prime minister Imran Khan’s military secretary in the diplomatic cable case. Talking to journalists outside the Parliament House, Ayub, alongside PTI’s newly elected chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, said that keeping the cipher documents safe was the responsibility of the then-prime minister’s military secretary. “If the case is to proceed, it should be proceeded against these persons [military secretary].” In January 2024, PTI founder Imran and party’s senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi were sentenced to 10 years, each, in the cipher case. Speaking on the occasion, the PTI leader demanded a “judicial inquiry” into the ciphergate case. Commenting on the PPP chairman’s address in the lower house of parliament, Ayub said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari used unparliamentary words today. “Bilawal Bhutto does not know the cipher’s mechanism.” For his part, Barrister Gohar said that the party wanted to move forward, despite problems. Slamming the eight-party ruling alliance, the PTI leader said that they themselves were “crises” and added that they could not steer the country out of the crises.
