Islamabad: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has accepted that Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani and Interior Minister Rehman Malik offered to share personal data of the country’s citizens with United States.
The views were expressed by PTI while giving an exclusive interview to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Khan said that never has any ruling elite betrayed its people as much as Pakistan’s current ruling class.
“This is the most shameful period of our history,” Imran Khan stressed.
It is noteworthy that WikiLeaks divulged an alleged leaked diplomatic cable according to which Pakistan’s the then Prime Minister and Interior Minister visited the US embassy in Islamabad, and offered to share National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) record.
A front company, International Identity Services, was allegedly set up in the United Kingdom to fetch the record of Pakistan’s NADRA, which holds the personal record of the country’s citizens.
When asked about the leaked cable, Khan said “not only have they done this,” but countless people were handed over to the United States on the mere suspicion of being involved in terrorist activities.
“People have disappeared, people are eliminated,” Khan said.
Imran Khan said that no investigation was launched to know whether these people were guilty or innocent.
