ISLAMABAD – Another audio clip of former prime minister Imran Khan was leaked online on Friday.
In the latest audio leak, Khan can be heard discussing the US cypher and tactics to put pressure on defected party lawmakers.
This is the second audio leaked on Twitter by an account titled “Hacker Boy” in a day.
It earlier released an audio wherein horse-trading in parliament was discussed purportedly by Khan and other party leaders.
The latest audio, which seems to be recorded before Khan was removed from the office of the prime through a no-confidence vote, features a purported conversation among the PTI chief, Asad Umar and Shireen Mazari on the US cypher.
In the audio, a defiant Khan can be heard asking his party leaders to build pressure on the defected PTI lawmakers, who had joined hands with the joint opposition to remove him from the office.

As the video begins, Asad Umar can purportedly be heard as saying: “There’s another thing in hindsight that we’ve taken up with regard to the letter issue, we should have started it at least a week or 10 days ago.”
Imran Khan replies, “This letter, which we are thinking about, has had an impact across the world.”
At this point, Shireen Mazari says: “The Chinese have issued an official statement […] that they condemn America’s interference in our internal affairs.”
Imran Khan: “The strategy is that the public is with us and now we have to channelise this public pressure [this Sunday] and ensure that the pressure reaches such a height that anyone who goes to the [National] Assembly to vote, they are branded for life. But the brand that you’ll assign would be: Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq. You have to spoonfeed people as their minds are already fertile ground and you have to feed them this [narrative].”
The conversation apparently refers to the no-confidence motion, which was tabled by the joint opposition in April to remove Imran Khan from office with the help of PTI dissident lawmakers.
