Ex-CJP Saqib Nisar says latest audio leak amounts to theft, questions authenticity

PML-N calls for transparency
In a press conference immediately after the audio leak surfaced, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar called the clip “unfortunate”, saying that Nisar should be more careful because of the “perception of the people” about him. “This conversation clearly shows that he is guiding regarding what needs to be done. He can be heard giving references of judgments,” he stated. “This is a very difficult situation.” Tarar went on to say that transparency was important to ensure that the Constitution and law were upheld in the country. “People should be able to trust institutions, especially the judiciary … and this can only happen when there is transparency.” In a tweet, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that he was disappointed to hear the audio, claiming that Nisar had moved way too far in his revenge against PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif. “You took revenge on Nawaz Sharif and sentenced him. How long will you continue to feed on this poison?” he added. https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1650799704261763073&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1749228&sessionId=b7496da22ee4eb0a36ec7ed792f8f96a959d4ebf&siteScreenName=dawn_com&theme=light&widgetsVersion=aaf4084522e3a%3A1674595607486&width=550px The PML-N — especially its chief organiser Maryam Nawaz — has time and again blamed Nisar for disqualifying the party’s Quaid Nawaz Sharif as prime minister in 2017 in the Panama Papers case. Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal said that the “mastermind of the 2017 regime change and judicial martial law conspiracy still conducting the orchestra”. On the other hand, PML-N leader Malik Ahmed Khan said that a suo motu notice should be taken on the recent audio leaks.Audio leaks
Of late, a slew of audio leaks featuring key government and opposition figures — including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PTI Chairman Imran Khan, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, and others — have surfaced on social media. The clips, seemingly featuring informal conversations, had raised serious concerns regarding the security of government offices — particularly the Prime Minister’s Office. PM Shehbaz had termed the surfacing of audio leaks a “very serious lapse” and announced that a high-level committee would be constituted to probe the matter. On the other hand, the PTI had filed a petition in the SC seeking a probe into the audios. Former premier Imran Khan had also written a letter to Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial and other SC judges, and sought “enforcement” of the fundamental rights of the public, including the Constitution’s Article 14 (fundamental right to privacy).« Hussain Haqqani serves legal notice to Imran Khan (Previous News)
