Separately, the PTI called on the Supreme Court to investigate the “phone tapping” of PTI leaders, including former prime minister Imran Khan. Shireen Mazari issued a warning that leaking the contents of a conversation between former prime minister Imran Khan and his principal secretary would be against the Official Secrets Act.
Security Line Of Imran Khan’s home
Even though the security line of Imran Khan’s home was also tapped, she claimed that phone tapping falls under the category of contempt of court because journalist Ansar Abbasi had hinted that a telephone audio of Imran Khan and Azam Khan, then his principal secretary, would be leaked.
Speaking at a press conference alongside PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry, Ms. Mazari stated that the act of tapping phones would be comparable to contempt of court in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Benazir Bhutto case. She claimed that the “plot” that led to Mr. Khan’s removal from office was concealed by listening in on his phone calls.
Phone Tapping Is Illegal & Only Intelligence Agencies Can Do It
Phone tapping is “illegal and only intelligence agencies can do it because they had the means and the technical ability” to record calls, according to Ms. Mazari. She questioned how much the United States “aided in the phone taping.” Ms. Mazari was pointing to a claim made by Imran Khan that the US was involved in the overthrow of his government.
She claimed that the government and others in positions of authority were leaking the phone calls because they were “afraid of the tremendous power shows” put on by Imran Khan’s PTI and the “lack of corruption evidence” against the former prime minister.
