Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his key aide became the center of attention on Wednesday after audio recordings purportedly of his conversation surfaced on social media.
\nIn the alleged audio conversation, Imran Khan and his principal secretary Azam Khan could be heard discussing the US cipher, which the PTI chief claimed led to the ouster of the previous government.
\nIn the around one and half-minute-long audio clip, a voice said to be that of PTI chief, can be heard saying \u201cWe just have to play with it, by hiding the date and without naming US\u201d.
\nThe other man, who is believed to be then principal secretary Azam Khan, stressed holding a meeting on the issue. Azam Khan then advised Imran Khan to craft a new dimension to the party\u2019s narrative about foreign hands toppling the government.
\nThe former principal secretary to PM also advised defiant politician to talk to the then Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and the foreign secretary on the matter.
\nThe ousted premier then exchanged views with Azam Khan to chalk out the narrative for the masses as well as the world leaders.
\nFormer Information Minister and PTI leader Fawad Chaudhary responded to the matter, saying the alleged audio leaks reveal an attempt to hide the US cipher from then Prime Minister Imran Khan.
\nThe development comes days after purported leaked audio clips of government officials including PM Shehbaz Sharif, his cabinet members and Maryam Nawaz.
\nEarlier, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry claimed that conversations of PM have been put up for sale on the dark web, however, the recent leak revealed that the bugging process started before anyone was aware of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
