Another alleged audio of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been leaked on Friday, purportedly featuring him and his former ministers Asad Umar and Shireen Mazari discussing the United States (US) cipher once again.
Context of the audio:
Asad Umar: Another point is, in hindsight, that whatever we are doing now should have been done at least ten days ago.
Imran Khan: The impact of this letter is far-reaching and it has reached all over the world, more than we expected.
Shireen Mazari: The Chinese have issued an official statement, condemning US intervention in the internal affairs of Pakistan.
Imran Khan: The public is with us and we must ensure that the pressure must be at such a height that whoever goes to the assembly for voting must be branded for life and you have to brand them as Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq. You have to spoon-feed people as their minds are currently fertile grounds.
Both the former ministers can be heard agreeing with their party chief. Earlier in the day, another audio clip leaked that suggested Khan was involved in horse trading during his tenure at the country’s highest office.
It is pertinent to mention here that this alleged audio leak is part three of PTI’s audio leak series regarding the US cipher.
In the previous US cipher audio leaks, Imran Khan when he was Prime Minister, is directing his close aides not to take America’s name while talking about the US cipher in public.
The PTI chief also told his then-principal secretary Azam Khan that, “We have to play with it [cipher]”.
‘Making a few moves of my own which we cannot make public’: Khan’s new audio leak
Another alleged audio of former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan was released on Friday, purportedly featuring the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief talking about horse-trading in parliament.
In the audio recording, a voice believed to be Imran’s says: “You have a misunderstanding that now the number game is complete […] don’t think this is over.”
The voice in the audio, allegedly of the PTI chairman, can be heard strategising on horse-trading in parliament.
It is being suggested that the recording is from before the vote of no-confidence against Khan.
Context of audio:
Imran Khan: You are greatly mistaken that the number game is now complete.
Imran Khan: It’s not like that…don’t think that it’s over because 48 hours from now is a long time.
Imran Khan: Big things are happening. I am making some moves of my own which we cannot make public.
Imran Khan: I am buying five, I have five. [We need] to give the message that the five are very important.
Imran Khan: And tell him if he secures five more and it turns to 10, the game will be in our hand.
Imran Khan: The nation is alarmed right now.
Imran Khan: Across the board people want us to win in any way possible, so no one needs to worry if this is right or wrong – whatever the tactic.
Imran Khan: Even if someone breaks one, it will have a big impact.
The audio clip released on Friday is the third such leak featuring the PTI chairman. Last week, an audio clip purportedly revealed a conversation between Imran and then principal secretary Azam Khan about the cipher — shared by Asad Majeed, the then envoy to the US — which Imran has used to peddle his foreign conspiracy narrative.
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry on Friday did not disavow the contents of the latest audio clip but said that “Everyone knows where and how the audios are being made”.
In a tweet, the former minister asked: “By joining together voices such as these will you prove NRO 2 to be valid?”
