Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Danyal Chaudhry on Wednesday said that leaked messages between Rauf Hasan and Jibran Ilyas confirmed that the events of May 9 were a planned conspiracy by Pakistan TehreekeInsaf (PTI).

Talking to a private news channel, he said that these messages show May 9 was not a spontaneous incident, but rather a premeditated action aimed at undermining the army and state institutions.

He said despite PTI’s antistate agenda, their efforts will fail, and under the leadership of the Prime Minister and Army Chief, the country will overcome its security and economic challenges.
