PTI rejects Bushra Bibi's alleged audio leak as 'fabricated'

Rejecting PML-N’s allegations, Shahbaz Gill says such 'fake leaks' have also been exposed in the past

Hours after arch-rivals Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) launched an attack on the former ruling party over the purported audio leak of PTI chief and ex-PM Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, the latter rejected the clip that popped up on social media yesterday as ‘fabricated’.

In the purported audio clip, the former first lady can be heard giving orders to PTI social media head Arsalan Khalid, urging him to accuse the former opposition parties of ‘treason’.

In a Twitter post, PTI stalwart Shahbaz Gill said that such ‘fake audio clips’ had already been exposed in the past.

Gill added that the "fake audio video production" had come forward with another 'fake news', this time linking the former first lady with the fabricated material.

Earlier today, while addressing a presser, PML-N's Attaullah Tarar and Malik Ahmad Khan accused the former premier of tainting the political landscape of the country.

According to them, the audio leak had proved that allegations of treason were used against the party on Bushra's orders.

Shortly after, PTI leader Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan stated that leaking private audio tapes was “immoral, illegal and inhumane”, adding that doing so won't stop Imran Khan's mission.

“Imran Khan is fighting against the servitude of US with full courage and bravery,” Chohan said.

He furthered that Imran had "full confidence" in the participation of millions of citizens of Rawalpindi and Islamabad in the ongoing campaign against the ruling party.

This isn't the first time that an leaked audio has rattled the country's political scene. The two sides -- the PTI and the PML-N -- have recently been leveling accusations of serious nature against each other.

What makes this even daunting is the announcement at the aforesaid presser to issue a red warrant to bring back Farah Khan -- Bushra's close aide -- as the calls to investigate her for her alleged involvement in corruption gain momentum.
