Former prime minister Imran Khan during an interview on May 30, 2022. SCREENGRABFormer prime minister Imran Khan has criticised the country’s intelligence agencies over the recent audio leaks – purportedly featuring conversations of incumbent and previous high-level government officials including the premier – saying that their primary responsibility is ensuring security rather than indulging in “political engineering”. In an interview with a local TV channel, the PTI chairman said tapping of the prime minister’s secure line and subsequent audio leaks was a “very serious security lapse”. The plethora of audio leaks that have recently emanated from the PMO are worth-pondering, and serious in essence. The meeting, chaired by Imran Khan, was attended by senior leaders including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Pervez Khattak and Yasmin Rashid.
