Govt tapping mobile phones of Judges, family: PTI Spokesman

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Spokesman Fawad Chaudhry said on Friday that the government is tapping mobile phones of judges and their family members.

The PTI leader made the allegation in a video message. “Who traced the Whatsapp call of the Registrar Supreme Court?” he said while referring to the Whatsapp call requesting inclusion of certain members into the JIT.

Fawad Chaudhry said that it was the government’s conspiracy to release the secured Whatsapp call.

“Nawaz Sharif’s government is being confrontational with the judiciary under a well-planned strategy,” he said.

The PTI leader inquired upon whose orders the phones of the important judiciary members are being tapped.

He further said that for the investigation of this matter, different high officials and intelligence agency members should be approached so the matter can be probed.

A rift formed between the government and the judiciary when PML-N leader Nehal Hashmi in his speech threatened the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s unidentified ‘enemies’.
