ISLAMABAD – After Dawn Leaks another controversy has been stirred by Dawn Newspaper regarding the China Pakistan Economic Corridor Project CPEC, which is being termed as Dawn Leaks 2.
Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Monday refuted a Dawn article which claimed to reveal the “original plan of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)” and termed it ‘Dawn Leaks II’.
The Dawn’s article claimed that the documents have been released to the public for the first time and disclosed the “real Chinese intentions and priorities are in Pakistan for the next decade and a half, details that have not been discussed in public thus far.”
Ahsan Iqbal, the person who is at the heart of everything that is CPEC, was quick to refute it. “I am appalled by Dawn Leak II. CPEC long-term plan story based on working documents to distort final draft taken up with NDRC yesterday in Beijing,” the planning minister said.

The minister said that Dawn had not approached him or his ministry for fact-checking. “Definite angling in story to malign CPEC by promoting fears,” he added.
CDB study referred to as Long Term Plan in Dawn story is factually incorrect. Definite angling in story to malign CPEC by promoting fears.
