Govt nominee excuses himself from heading 'foreign conspiracy' probe

Lt Gen (r) Tariq Khan
Lt Gen (r) Tariq Khan on Friday excused himself from heading the commission formed by the government to investigate the "letter" purportedly containing details of a "foreign conspiracy" to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan.

In his statement, Gen Khan said said the commission could not last beyond the incumbent government's tenure, which was expected to end in two days.

He said voting on the no-confidence resolution against PM Imran — due to take place tomorrow — would bring into power a new government, which would "dissolve the commission or not cooperate with it, making it dysfunctional".

His statement came a couple of hours after Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the commission, led by the retired general, would investigate all the "characters" behind the no-trust move against PM Imran and expose them in front of the nation.

"It [the commission] will see if the communique exists and whether it contains the threat of regime change. The commission will also disclose the local handlers who were used to take forward this foreign conspiracy," the minister had said.

"Of course, not everyone from the opposition was involved in it. But there were some people who knew what the conspiracy was, who was behind it and where it came from."

He added that the commission would review the aforementioned points within 90 days and form its own investigative teams.
