Govt decides to conduct forensic audit of Shaukat Tarin audio leaks: Azam Nazeer

ISLAMABAD, Aug 31 (APP):Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar on Wednesday said that the federal government had decided to conduct forensic audit of former finance minister Shaukat Tarin’s audio leaks.
Addressing a press conference, the law minister said that consultation with the interior and law ministries were underway regarding forensic audit of audio.
He said that the government had decided on a forensic audit of the audio conversations and once the consultative process was completed, it would be acted upon and action taken as per the law.
He said that legal action would be taken against those who raised their hands against the state or spoke against its interests.
The Minister said that the former finance minister’s conversation and direction amounted to hypocrisy and sedition against the state and its interests. The government ministers undertook oaths at the time of appointment in which they pledged to only follow the law in discharging their duties instead of listening to anyone else, he added.
He said that it seemed the KPK finance minister strayed from fulfilling his oath after that conversation. Former finance minister Shoukat Tarin, whom this was not expected, crossed all limits and prioritised politics over the state, he added.
