The minister said “The audio leak has exposed how a big game had been played with Pakistan’s security”, he said.

“Imran Khan is responsible for everything, Imran wants the atomic bomb to be dropped on Pakistan if he is not in power. His agenda is to destroy Pakistan, as he had already destroyed it economically,” he said.
Dar said that the country was put on the verge of default and efforts are being made to prevent this destruction.
He further said that national security breach is not allowed in any country, this is such a serious matter.
" The cipher is property of Prime Minister House but is missing, Shahbaz Sharif asked the principal secretary where it is, and the Principal Secretary replied that Imran Khan had taken the cipher away.
Now it has been proved that the conspiracy was done by PTI and not by the government while the National Security and Cabinet have also met in this regard, they will take this matter to its logical end. If we do not act on demand, we fail in our constitutional responsibility, he maintained.
Ishaq Dar said the country’s economy will get better in the coming days
