Closing of NA could destroy evidence: PPPP

ISLAMABAD: The PPPP Sunday feared that evidence of camera scandal could be destroyed by closing National Assembly Secretariat on the pretext of disinfection. “There is a fear that evidence of the camera scandal would likely be destroyed by suspending National Assembly activities on the pretext of disinfection of the House,” said PPPP’s Central Information Secretary Shazia Marri while reacting to decision of closing National Assembly Secretariat for two days for disinfection purposes. She said Imran Khan was trying to save those who were involved in the installation of cameras in the Senate hall during Senate chairman elections. She said the government could also remove the CCTV footages by closing the Parliament.

She said installation of spy cameras to identify the voters during Senate polls is bigger scandal than Watergate and in this connection a fair and transparent probe should also be conducted. She questioned the government that why aren’t the names of the responsible persons who were involved in installation of cameras brought in front of the nation if the CCTV footages are available as evidence? She further said Prime Minister Imran Khan is trying to save those who installed cameras in the Senate hall.
