Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar says baseless narrative on cipher damaged Pakistan’s relations with its friendly country.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Thursday, he said it was unfortunate that PTI Chairman used cipher for political gains. He reiterated government’s resolve to carry out investigation of the cipher case strictly in accordance with law. He said enquiry and investigation of the case will be on merit.

The Minister said former Law Minister misused the cipher on the floor of the House. He said government followed the course of law and enquiry was initiated by FIA.
