PM Shehbaz, “audio leaks” jeopardize Pakistan’s reputation
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed that the “audio leaks” had damaged the nation’s reputation abroad since people were reluctant to speak with him due to privacy concerns.
Audio leaks:
The most recent and second leaked recording that had circulated on social media, which is said to have included PM Shehbaz, Rana Sanaullah, Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, and others, discussed the resignations of PTI.
According to reports, PML-N leaders can be heard discussing the resignations of PTI on the recording. They are also discussing whether London will permit the resignations.
A talk about Maryam Nawaz, the vice president of the PML-N, requesting that an Indian power plant be imported for her son-in-law was discussed in a previously leaked audio that had previously gone viral on social media and was purported to be from PM Shehbaz.
