It is to be noted that the former ambassador Asad Majeed denied Imran’s allegations related to cipher case.
Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) founder and the former prime minister Imran Khan has warned his party candidates to start their election campaigns peacefully or their tickets to contest in the upcoming general elections ahead on February 8, will be seized.
Imran said that the tickets of those candidates who won’t come out for the election campaign would be replaced with others. The former ambassador of Pakistan to America and a witness in the cipher case, Asad Majeed had directed sending a stunt to an official meeting after the diplomatic cable was received.
He further stated that Shah Mahmood Qureshi found the cipher by chance. It was for General retired (R) Bajwa. Every effort was made to quash the cipher. My government was displaced in three weeks after it. If there was no such thing in the cipher why the demarche was sent? Does anyone send it to America?
Khan asserted that in October 2021 General (R) Bajwa had hired Husain Haqqani former Pakistan's ambassador to the US while he was unaware. Haqqani was given $35,000. He tweeted that Imran is Anti-America while Bajwa is with America.
Qureshi expressed gratitude towards the senior politician Javed Hashmi for speaking the truth. Hashmi announced stepping out of the election race and withdrawing in favor of PTI-backed Aamir Dogar, who will contest the February 8 polls from the NA-149 constituency.
“I am throwing my political weight behind the Tehreek-e-Insaf and Imran Khan and withdrawing from the elections” Hashmi said.
