According to a senior member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa regularly cautioned former prime minister Imran Khan that the PM Office was “not secure” for critical meetings.
The army leader informed Imran Khan that the topics we discuss here are recorded and afterwards released, according to former information minister Fawad Chaudhry, who was speaking to Geo News TV. Gen Bajwa also reportedly requested that Khan fix PM House using cutting-edge technology.
Chaudhry asserted that General Bajwa had stated that Nawaz Sharif left the PM House when he wanted to speak with him about a crucial matter.
Under the leadership of Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the army’s former chief, the rooms of their headquarters were protected with cutting-edge technology, Chaudhry claimed.
Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, launched a high-level investigation into the matter this week after audio snippets of him and his Cabinet colleagues gained widespread attention.
If the inquiry reveals that the hacking (of the phone calls) was done from overseas, Chaudhry remarked, “I won’t be shocked.”
No matter whether the prime minister is—Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, or Imran Khan—the hacking of the PM Office is unacceptable, he stated.
According to Chaudhry, he opposes tapping the phones of the prime minister.
The PTI leader reaffirmed the call of his party for the government to launch an inquiry into the issue. He questioned why the Pakistani Supreme Court and the administration were unwilling to launch an investigation into the encryption.
On September 28, a voice clip purportedly depicting Imran Khan asking his former main secretary Azam Khan to “play” with the US encryption surfaced.
