ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Wednesday hoped Prime Minister Imran Khan will not make a “secretive” memo public that, according to the government, “threatens” Pakistan’s sovereignty.
In a written order, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said the court is confident that as an elected prime minister, Imran Khan would not disclose any information or act in breach of section 5 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923, or violate the oath taken by him under the Constitution.
“Any decision taken by the Prime Minister has to be in consonance with his obligations under the Official Secrets Act, 1923 and in letter and spirit of the oath of the office,” the written order read.
