Imran Khan moves SC for investigation of audio leaks

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Thursday moved Supreme Court (SC) seeking an investigation of the PM House audio leaks.

In the petition, the former prime minister requested the honorable court for a judicial commission or Joint Investigation Team (JIT) or a judicial commission to investigate the matter of audio leaks.

The former premier has made the ministries of interior, defence, IT, information, PEMRA, Intelligence Bureau, and FIA the respondents in the petition.

“Declare that the illegal surveillance of the PMO and the release of the surveillance data, especially through the audio leaks, are unconstitutional and in violation of law,” the former prime minister prayed before the court

Imran Khan has also urged the SC to hold the officials behind the audio leaks accountable.

The top court has been prayed to direct the government and all relevant agencies and authorities to take all necessary steps to prevent the release of more audio.
