Rejecting a challan submitted by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday demanded the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the cipher case.
In a statement issued Saturday, the PTI spokesperson said that the challan submitted against party chairman Imran Khan and vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi was ‘meaningless and bogus as cipher case”.
Moreover, the spokesperson maintained, the cipher was still present in its original state in the Foreign Office. “Cipher’s presence proves the allegations levelled against the former prime minister [Imran Khan] as baseless,” he added.
“The then federal cabinet declassified the cipher under its powers”, the spokesman noted, claiming that Official Secrets Act cannot be applied in this case.
