ISLAMABAD: Former Principal Secretary and prominent bureaucrat Azam Khan has safely reached his home in Islamabad.
According to reports, Azam Khan reached on Wednesday evening. Azam Khan went missing nearly a month ago and a case was registered over his disappearance at Kohsar police station.
Islamabad Police have registered a kidnapping case of Azam Khan on the complaint of his nephew after he went missing on June 15. The case has been registered under Section 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine a person) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).
Azam’s Khan nephew Muhammad Saeed Khan, told police in an application that his uncle Azam Khan, who is currently residing in Sector F-6/3 with his family went gone missing after leaving his house on June 15 around 7 M.
Azam Khan turned into a witness against the PTI chief and confessed that the diplomatic cypher was used for political purposes to avoid the no-confidence motion and build a narrative of a foreign conspiracy.
In a confessional statement, he said said on March 9, the foreign secretary approached Azam Khan and informed him about the cypher. The foreign secretary also informed that Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi discussed the matter with Imran Khan.
Upon seeing the cypher, Imran termed the language as “US blunder” while saying that the cypher can now be “manipulated for created a narrative against the establishment and opposition.”
Imran Khan told Azam that the cypher can be used to divert general public’s attention towards “foreign involvement” in the no-confidence motion by the opposition.
Imran Khan instructed Azam to hand over the cypher to him which is a clear violation of regulations for handing over official documentation. Azam Khan confessed the cypher copy was retained by Imran Khan who said it was “misplaced”.
He further confessed that Imran Khan said he will use the cypher in front of the public and “twist the narrative” that a foreign conspiracy is being hatched in collusion with local partners and play the “victim card”.
