Newsleak used Modi and Israel's language: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday said that the October 6 news leak regarding the high-level security meeting is a sensitive issue and action must be taken against all those who are responsible for the news item which breached national security, ARY News reported.

In an interview with ARY News, Imran Khan claimed that the news item used the same language ‘Modi’ and ‘Israel’ uses against Pakistan’s armed forces.

“People belonging to a certain political class are pretending as if this breach is no big deal but if you see the US presidential elections, Hillary Clinton is facing an inquiry into her emails breaching national security,” said the PTI chief.

He lamented that the controversial news item came at a time that when the army is fighting on all fronts and is stressed due to the cross-border firing, anti-terror war and national security responsibilities.

“The language used was of Narendra Modi, the Israeli lobby, which is against our nuclear program,” said Imran Khan.

The PTI chief added that the delay in investigation makes him think that the ‘Royal Family’ (Sharif Family) is involved in the security breach and a prompt action will lead to the the ruling family.

“They can sacrifice people like Pervaiz Rasheed; but not the Sharif family,” said Imran Khan.
