Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar and former Governor and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s lawyer, Khawaja Tariq Rahim’s alleged audio leak has surfaced on the internet.
In the alleged audio clip both Nisar and Rahim are talking about Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz.
The transcript of audio is as follows;
Nisar: Asalam o alikum sir.
Rahim: Waalikum Aasalaam, Sir we need to … need … need… to give a proper answer. We should file a case against her what she says. This woman [Maryam Nawaz] who speaks.
Nisar: Sir I have thought something for her.

Rahim: Yes, yes.
Nisar: I recalled the words of the elder Tarar Saab. He used to say that when dogs bark some people stand afar.
Rahim: This is also okay. You have given a good answer to ARY.
Nisar then went on to praise himself and said that he thankfully is very courageous, and can bear anything. He further adds that he will not get confused or go in depression.
Nisar: Whenever I need you for help, I will ask.
Rahim: You just have to tell me and I will do accordingly.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemning the audio tweeted, “Society, especially women, should strongly condemn this speech and abusive thinking about women. Only collective condemnation can stop this negative thinking in the society.”
سابق چیف جسٹس ثاقب نثار اور PTI وکیل خواجہ طارق رحیم کی آڈیو لیک میں بیٹی مریم نواز کے بارے میں گھٹیا گفتگو انتہائی قابل مذمت ہے۔خواتین کے بارے میں اس لب و لہجے اور گھٹیا سوچ کی معاشرے بالخصوص خواتین کو پر زور مذمت کرنی چاہیے۔ اجتماعی مذمت ہی معاشرے میں یہ منفی سوچ روک سکتی ہے
