LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq has demanded to launch a judicial inquiry of Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) audio leaks, ARY News reported on Wednesday.
The JI chief Sirajul Haq said in a statement that back-to-back audio leaks were creating confusion amongst the masses that the national politics are running on the basis of conspiracy.
He said that Islamabad turned into a circus and the current rulers were damaging the reputation of the country globally through their actions. He added that the accused in corruption cases should not be allowed to assume public offices.
