ISLAMABAD, April 8: Lieutenant General (retd) Tariq Khan on Friday excused himself from heading the probe commission announced by the federal government to probe the alleged lettergate which reportedly points towards regime change in Pakistan through a ‘no-confidence vote.’
Well-informed sources said that Lt General retired Tariq Khan excused himself from heading the commission for personal reasons.
Earlier in the day, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had announced the federal cabinet has formed a commission to investigate the alleged foreign conspiracy behind the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader told media that Lieutenant General (retd) Tariq Khan will lead the commission which will probe the alleged “threatening memo.”
Fawad Chaudhry said the commission will look into the lettergate and who the conspiracy hatched within the country.
Earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that he had a letter that carried evidence of a foreign conspiracy to topple his government.
According to the letter, problems for Pakistan will increase, if the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan fails. “We are not happy, everything will be fine, only when the no-trust motion passes.” – TLTP
