bro, a confidential file is confidential. THere is no justification.
No it was not better. No one was threatening, this is something that only PTI fans believe in.
Such communication between embassies is very normal and takes place all the time. The PM doesnt have the right to reveal things to the public if its confidential and needs parliaments approval.
By leaking this info, he broke the ties and ruined relations with US diplomats and govt. Govts around the world spend millions of dollars to develop relations with other countries, these embassies have high cost to run. When you leak confidential information, you end up breaking the trust to the level that US diplomats and US govt officials wont be having any relations or communications through us wasting all investments.
As for the "message", they are normal messages that place, and bigger countries do send such messages as a way of posturing. They are not literal and only dumb people take it literal.
Our 17 grade govt officers and above are educated people, especially the ones in foreign affairs, and they handle these communications. The awaam isnt, and by leaking such confidential info to the awaam, Imran again used his populism to derive support for himself.
No PTI fan here will ever accept it, but Imran did an own goal by revealing it and it comes under state secrets. If the courts allow him to get away with this, than there will be no control on the PMs in future leaking confidential information to the public.
