ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali says the constitution clearly addresses the issue of phone tapping.
He emphasises that it is clear that no one’s privacy should be breached.
Speaking to the media at the Parliament House, he noted that while the Supreme Court had set parameters for placing criminal elements under surveillance, the notice issued by the government was a violation of the Constitution.
“We have filed an application in the Supreme Court on phone tapping. I request the apex court to schedule the hearing,” he added.
When a journalist pointed out that Imran Khan, during his tenure as prime minister, claimed that tapping phones was the mandate of the agencies, the chairman denied and said the PTI founder had never made such a statement.
