Islamabad: Another alleged leaked audio of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan surfaced on social media in which former premier can be heard talking about cypher with party leaders Asad Umar and Shireen Mazari.

In 1:03-minute audio leaked by an unnamed hacker Asad can be heard saying that letter (cypher) issue should have been raised a week or 10 days earlier. To which Imran Khan replies that impact of letter has been felt across world. “What we have done has created an impact, now strategy is to brand and spoon feed public on Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq.

Their (public) minds are already fertile to accept this. We have to brand them (traitors) for life,” Imran can be heard saying. Shireen says that China has issued an official statement condemning US interference in our internal affairs. Imran Khan’s reply: saying that entire world was now talking about it as they had thought. Shireen tells Imran that Chinese officials have also condemned cypher. Earlier in day, an audio surfaced purportedly featuring Imran Khan talking about “buying” MNAs. In audio, a voice attributed to former prime minister can be heard and he is apparently talking about ‘horse-trading’.  Audio starts with Imran purportedly stating “don’t think everything is over”, a possible reference to vote of no confidence in March this year. “From this point onwards, next 48 hours is a long time. Plenty of things are happening and I am also making some moves which we can’t disclose to public,” says voice attributed to PTI Chief. “I am buying five [MNAs], I have five [MNAs],” voice believed to be of Imran’s states. “Nobody should worry and think if this is right or wrong, whatever tactic it is. Breaking even a single [MNA] will make a big difference,” voice attributed to PTI Chief instructs party members.
