ISLAMABAD-The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) charged the PTI chairman and Shah Mehmood Qureshi, a prominent party leader and former foreign minister, with violating the Official Secrets Act and filed a challan before the special court hearing the case.
According to sources, the country’s top agency has demanded that the court convene a trial and punish the perpetrators through the challan it has presented.
According to the sources, Asad Umar was not nominated in the case, but Azam Khan, the former principal secretary to the then-prime minister, was appointed as an approver.
Azam Khan’s statement, which was recorded under Sections 161 and 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), was also attached to the challan.
According to the challan, the PTI chairman had the cipher in his possession and incorrectly utilized the state secret, as he obtained a copy of the document but did not return.
The new development comes after sources unequivocally indicated that claims of a pact made between the establishment and the PTI were completely untrue, as the erstwhile ruling party has been attempting to extract concessions following the May 9 disaster.
According to the sources, the May 9 incident’s strategists, executors, and managers will suffer legal consequences, a repeat of what the military leadership under Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir stated shortly after the violent activities.
