Pak NSC approves constitution of high-level committee to probe embarrassing audio leaks

Islamabad, Sep 28 (PTI) A high-level security meeting in Pakistan on Wednesday approved the formation of a high-powered committee to probe the embarrassing audio leaks from the Prime Minister's Office that have triggered a controversy and demands for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's resignation.
