Will the DAWN leaks Commission report find the actual ‘Leak’?
Global Village Space |
The interior ministry has confirmed that the Dawn Leaks inquiry report would be officially submitted on Wednesday, to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and then upon his go-ahead will be made public. It is being reported that the inquiry report revealed that the investigation body did not find any ‘solid proofs’ against the then Information Minister, Pervez Rasheed, who earlier resigned, for not managing the media and allowing such information to be printed. The report, allegedly, names Mr. Fatemi as one of the individuals responsible for leaking news to the Dawn reporter, Cyril Almeida, along with the Principal Information Officer, Rao Tehsin.
Earlier today in Washington, the Finance minister, Ishaq Dar, said that the government is considering replacing Tariq Fatemi, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs. “Albeit, the inquiry report did not recommend dismissal or removal but even if he is removed then it should not be assumed a big issue, ” he said this when talking to media in Washington, where he is attending IMF and other donor meetings.
However, on Tuesday, TV news outlets reported that Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs (SAPM) Tariq Fatemi, as clearly saying that he would not be resigning and taking the blame for being the ‘leak’ after the Dawn Leaks

For the last several days, media outlets have been reporting the leaked contents of the report; and the fact that the committee investigating the scandal had recommended Mr. Fatemi’s and Rao Tehseen’s removal. This speculation was denounced a couple of days ago by the Foreign Office which had released a statement defending Mr. Fatemi and called these reports “malicious propaganda”.
Background on Dawn Leaks
