The minister criticised the PTI leader during a press conference held in this location for the audio leak from yesterday.
“The unpleasant thing is that your oath makes you bound to take judgments in the broader national interest when you’re in high constitutional offices, more than the partisan interest,” he remarked.
Imran, he claimed, had played a risky game with the nation. He claimed that former principal secretary Azam Khan ought to have understood that he was a public worker and wasn’t advancing the interests of a political party.
He continued, “He (Azam) should have shut it down and urged the Foreign Office to take the required action as it was its domain. It would have been far better if he (Azam) had made Imran understand that this was not a matter that could be messed with.”
When taking the oath as a member of Parliament or as Prime Minister, Tarar added, they promise that they won’t put their own interests ahead of that of the nation since those in public service must make crucial judgments.
He claimed that Imran Khan’s conspiracy theory had revealed to the public that he put his own interests ahead of that of the country. He continued by saying that the former prime minister acted irresponsibly on the cypher issue.
The Law Minister advised us to make decisions that were in the best interests of the nation. He continued, “The former prime minister played a risky game against the interests of the nation.”
He said that Pakistan and the United States had a long history of diplomatic ties.
He claimed that while the Supreme Court did not deem it appropriate to take action following its ruling, the current government had not yet removed the former prime minister’s letter requesting the creation of a judicial commission to probe the Cipher.
