'No excuse' for what was done on cipher issue: Ishaq Dar
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Saturday while reacting to another alleged audio leak purportedly featuring party leaders Asad Umar and Shah Mahmood Qureshi discussing the much-touted "threat cipher" with Imran Khan and the ex-principal secretary, said that there has been a serious security breach in Pakistan on the issue of cipher, adding that there is no excuse for what was done on the cipher issue.
Addressing a press conference flanked by PML-N top brass, Ishaq said Imran Khan took the support of cipher and created his own story, but Imran’s plan came out from audio leaks, adding that he did the violation of official secret act. His [Imran Khan] agenda is to destroy Pakistan, adding that he had destroyed it economically and put the country on the verge of bankruptcy, Dar took a jibe on the PTI supremo.
"Now it has been proved that the conspiracy was done by PTI and not by the government because the evidence is in front of us. If we do not act on this serious matter, then it means we will fail in our constitutional responsibility," Dar said.
The Finance Minister added that there has been a serious security breach in Pakistan on the cipher issue and there is no excuse for what was done on this issue.
