‘New audio leaks involving SC judge’
Interior minister says Imran Khan can be arrested after LHC verdict rejecting his protective bail in ECP protest case
Islamabad
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that he has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to proceed against former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi over latest audio leaks purportedly involving an apex court judge.
“This audio leak is very embarrassing in which a new ‘minion’ of Imran Khan is involved,” he said at a press conference in Islamabad on Thursday while referring to latest audio leaks purportedly featuring conversation between Elahi and an unidentified person.
During the presser, the interior minister played the censored leaked audio clip in which the PML-Q leader can be purportedly heard discussing about the cases being heard in the Supreme Court which also included the one involving former CCPO Lahore Ghulam Mehmood Dogar.
Referring to the audio leaks, Sanaullah said he censored the leaked audio clips as he did not want to reveal the identity of the superior court judge before forensic analysis.
“How courageously he [Pervaiz Elahi] was managing the country’s top court… I will request the chief justice of Pakistan to take notice of this,” he remarked.
Sanaullah said he has directed the FIA to conduct forensic analysis of the audio clips and then arrest Elahi for interrogation after registering a case against him.
“I have directed the FIA to examine this and take legal opinion on this matter.”
