Wikileaks issue is very latest, while the efforts are since first day when Blackberry Devices were offered to Govt. Officials free of cost. It’s a good decision for Information Security in National Interest by the Cabinet Division.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2" lang=EN-GB><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
