Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday the “false narrative” of PTI Chairman Imran Khan — declaring the incumbent government a “product of conspiracy” — had been totally shattered after the recent audio leak.
“Imran Niazi wasted five months of the nation by concocting lies and propaganda about his successor government, however, his own audio leak exposed his fraudulence,” PM Shehbaz said in his address at the foundation-stone laying ceremony of the Bhara Kahu Bypass project.
The prime minister said Khan blamed politicians as traitors, however, in reality, it was he who “betrayed the nation”.
“Imran’s lies about an ‘imported government’ are, in fact, a conspiracy against the entire nation,” he said, stressing the need for people to understand the reality of a liar.
An alleged sound bite of the former prime minister allegedly telling his then-principal secretary Azam Khan to “play” with the US cypher came to the fore earlier this week.
In the audio allegedly featuring Khan, Azam can allegedly be heard talking about the cypher, which Khan — time and again — has claimed mentions the “threat” to remove his government.
Following the leaked audio, Interior Minister Sanaullah — during a press conference in Islamabad — said that if Khan’s audio is real, then he should be exposed before the nation.
Last week, two audios allegedly featuring PM Shehbaz had leaked. The first audio contained a discussion regarding PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz asking for a power plant from India to be imported for her son-in-law.
The second alleged audio of Sanaullah, Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and others was also leaked, and it contained a discussion regarding PTI’s resignations.
