US Conspiracy Against Imran Khan’s Government
ISLAMABAD: In the latest development in the US Cypher saga, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday summoned former prime minister Imran Khan’s principal secretary Azam Khan on October 25.
The case is related to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan’s allegations that US conspired against and toppled his government in March.
On September 28, Imran Khan’s alleged conversation with principal secretary Azam Khan triggered a controversy in which he can be heard speaking about the “US conspiracy” to topple the PTI government.
Play with the cypher issue
In the leaked audio, Khan could be heard directing his then-principal secretary that they should “play with the cypher issue” without taking the name of the United States.
“Let’s play with it,” Imran Khan allegedly said in the audio, to which Azam Khan suggested that they should hold a meeting on the US cypher to bring it on record.
Following a series of leaks released online allegedly featuring Imran Khan and the PTI leaders about the diplomatic cable, the federal cabinet on October 2 decided to formally initiate legal action against the PTI chairman.
As part of its inquiry into the US cypher, the FIA served notice to Azam Khan, directing him to appear before the investigation agency at 1 pm on October 25.
