No need for commission on so-called 'foreign conspiracy': Marriyum.

ISLAMABAD -- Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Saturday said there was no need for establishing any commission on the so-called foreign conspiracy as the country's premier intelligence agencies had ruled out any such plot against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.

'What is left to be investigated after the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting's press release which clearly pointed out that there was no conspiracy. The premier intelligence agencies have also categorically stated [in the meeting] that they found no such thing [during investigation] which even gives an impression of the conspiracy,' she said while addressing a news conference.

Marriyum said Pakistan's former ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed, who had written and sent the cipher to the PTI government, also informed the NSC that there was no iota of a conspiracy in it.

Imran Khan would not abandon his politics of lies and chaos even if the commission was set up on his request, she said recalling the PTI's hostile political misadventures, mainly sit-ins, after a body was established to probe the election rigging on his demand.

She said Imran Khan had orchestrated the foreign conspiracy drama to cover up his government's failures. 'If a conspiracy was hatched against him, then why did the National Assembly Speaker, who was from your party, let the motion moved, laid, approved and voted upon?' she questioned.

She said the foreign conspiracy narrative propped up just after the PTI's coalition partners announced to quit the alliance due to corruption, deceit, incompetency and hypocrisy of Imran Khan. There was foreign conspiracy until the allied parties stood with the PTI government, she added.

Marriyum asked Imran Khan as to why he did not disclose 'the conspiracy' soon after his government received the telegram from the Pakistani envoy in the US on...
