Khawaja Asif supports phone tapping to deal with terrorism in country

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif strongly supports intelligence agencies tapping the phones of citizens, stressing that it is necessary at the moment to fight terrorism in the country.

On the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub criticized tapping citizens’ mobile phones.

“We are in the midst of war against terrorism. I will support phone tapping in the current situation,” the Defense Minister told Arab News.

“When Imran Khan was on good terms with the establishment, every legitimate and illegitimate thing seemed acceptable to him. Today, his followers find the same thing hateful,” Khawaja Asif pointed out.
