Coming down strong on the ‘Suisse Secrets’ leaks, which were provided to a German newspaper by a whistleblower, information minister Fawad Chaudhry revealed that the so-called leaks were actually part of a 5th Generation War offensive against honest Pakistani self made generals.
“By dint of hard work, anyone can make huge amounts of money,” said the govt’s chief spokesperson, alluding to the leaks’ inclusion of the late former spymaster Lt Gen Akhtar Abdul Rehman. “Why give the impression that he was somehow corrupt?”
“He was an honest man and set aside some money every month as savings,” he said. “His was peak personal fiscal discipline. Others are lucky if they can save even 12 percent of their monthly pay check. He used to save 3500 per cent of his monthly pay check.”
“That is the discipline that the military instills in you, actually,” he said. “Other officers also save in the 1500+ percent range.”
“Even Lt Colonels can, at times, if they’re posted in the FC or in intel, I swear,” he continued.
“In any case, these so-called leaks have ‘India’ and ‘journalistic due diligence’ written all over them.”
