Who are these powerful and unknown elements who are intercepting and recording telephone conversations of citizens including high public officials. ?
The former prime minister said this is a grave violation of the privacy guaranteed under Article 14 of the Constitution. Those who leak phone calls on social media through fabrication and manipulation should also be held accountable.

Imran Khan said some of the recently leaked calls were made on what was supposed to be a secure phone line in the prime minister’s office, but they were illegally tapped and tampered with. Apparently, behind such audacious wiretapping are elements who do it without the knowledge of the command and even the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
He added that who are these people who are above the law and beyond the orders of the prime minister of the country and who are carrying out such illegal surveillance, the commission must identify such elements.
