Interior ministry, Intelligence Bureau deny role in photo leak

ISLAMABAD: A spokesman of Ministry of Interior Monday said a political party put the responsibility of leakage of photo of Hussain Nawaz on Ministry of Interior, which was a baseless and ridiculous allegation.

In a statement, the spokesman said the external security of Federal Judicial Academy (FJA) was job of Islamabad Police while the interior ministry or Islamabad Police had no role in administrative matters of the academy.

Any department or institution of the interior ministry including Islamabad Police had neither access to the offices of JIT nor to its proceedings or film making.

“This is very inappropriate to do politics on a sensitive matter,” he added.

According to this logic, Islamabad Police provided security to Imran Khan, then whatever happened inside the residence of Bani Gala, did it become responsibility of Islamabad Police or the interior ministry? he asked.

Meanwhile, the Intelligence Bureau also denied any role in leaking the picture of premier's son, saying the agency was not a part of the Joint Investigation Team, a panel tasked with investigating the ruling family's business dealings in the light of Supreme Court orders in Panama Papers case.

Quoting officials of the Intelligence Bureau Geo News reported that the agency doesn't not interfere in political affairs and focuses on its professional responsibilities.
