Cabinet approves sharing 'threat letter' with CJP, Senate chairman, NA speaker

The federal cabinet late Saturday approved sharing the alleged "threat letter" received from the United States with Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, and National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser tonight, sources said.

The federal cabinet's nod, according to sources, was needed as the "threat letter" falls under the Official Secrets Act, 1923.

On March 30, the IHC had hoped the prime minister would not make a "secretive" memo public that, according to the government, "threatens" Pakistan's sovereignty.
