The former premier had been called to appear at FIA headquarters with all the required documents.


Islamabad: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) summoned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman on July 25 (Tuesday) in a “cipher conspiracy” case on Wednesday.
The former premier had been called to appear at FIA headquarters with all the required documents.
The FIA notification warned that the PTI head would face consequences if he failed to appear before the agency.
The development occurred as a result of a statement made by Azam Khan, the former prime minister's personal secretary, in which he referred to the former premier's use of the US cypher as a "conspiracy" to "manipulate for creating a narrative against the state institutions."
In his statement, the former bureaucrat claimed that when he gave the ex-premier the cypher, he was "happy" and termed the language as a "US blunder". The former prime minister allegedly responded by saying that the cable might be used to "create a narrative against the state institutions," according to Azam.
Earlier today, Former Prime Minister's Principal Secretary Azam Khan recorded his confession statement before the Magistrate under Section 164 regarding cypher.
According to details, Azam Khan recorded a statement against Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and termed cypher as a deliberate conspiracy.
The principle secretary told that all the cabinet members were involved in the issue of cypher and all of them were told how the cypher can be used. It has nothing to do with reality, it is only used for political purposes.
Azam Khan further said in his confessional statement that PTI chief created a false and baseless narrative of Cypher by hiding all the facts. Cypher was shown as external conspiracy to avoid no-confidence motion.
His statement told that former prime minister said: “I will change the narrative of people by making a false perception of the cypher”.
Azam Khan stated that Chairman PTI took the cypher from me on March 09 and later lost it. Despite this, he floated the secret letter for personal gain.
