ISLAMABAD: PTI today filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking investigation of the PM House audio leaks.
PTI also urged the court to order criminal charges against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his team for hatching a “criminal conspiracy”.
This week a number of audio leaks surfaced about conversations and meetings at the PM House which have shocked the country and raised questions about the cyber security of the building.
In one of the audios, featuring PM Shehbaz, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and others — contains a discussion regarding PTI’s resignations.
In it, the PML-N leaders can be allegedly heard expressing their opinions over PTI’s resignations. They are also talking about London’s permission to accept the resignations.
The PTI petition stated that the entire discussion revolves around a “criminal strategy/conspiracy” to affect and target the party through piecemeal acceptance of the resignations tendered by PTI’s MNAs on April 11.
The party said that the prime minister admitted the “actuality and existence” of the referred audio leaks.
“It is also important to bring on record that the Information Minister Maryum Aurangzeb and Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan have already admitted the reality of the audio leaks,” the petition stated.
The PTI claimed that the PM and the cabinet members with aid of National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf violated their oath and utterly disregarded the law and the constitution.
The first audio related to PTI was leaked on September 28, in which ex-PM Imran Khan told his then-principal secretary Azam Khan to play with the US cypher.
