Islamabad sessions court granted Shah Mahmood Qureshis oneday physical remand in a case pertaining to a diplomatic cipher that reportedly went missing from Imran Khans custody . Qureshi has been booked in the case along with Imran under the Official Secrets Act .
Both of them have been accused of sharing the contents of the cipher with unauthorised persons to achieve ulterior motives . The case was registered after an American news outlet The Intercept recently published what was claimed to be the diplomatic cable which had reportedly gone missing from Imrans possession .
The cipher which USbased news website Intercept recently claimed to have obtained and published was waved by former PM Imran at a public gathering days before his ouster from the top office as proof of a conspiracy to remove his government . In a video shared by the PTI from today Quresh is seen speaking to media persons outside the court where he says I have not shared any document of secret nature with any unauthorising person.
The FIR was posted by the Pakistani parliamentarian . In the video he says he has not compromised any code. In a statement, he says ‘I have not compromised a code. I am not a member of the parliamentarian’s government. I have never compromised a secret document.
I’m not a part of the state. I don’t compromise any code’. It is not a secret. I will not compromise a secret’,” he said. I would not compromise anything. I do not compromise. I want to be a member.’ The case’ – Quresha. The case. It’ll not be a criminal.
