ISLAMABAD
\nAnother audio tape involving PTI chief Imran Khan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Asad Umar discussing how to deal with cypher was leaked on Friday. In the purported leaked audio tape, Imran kept on calling the transcript of the meeting simply a letter, exhibiting his unfamiliarity with the diplomatic jargon.
\nAfter the leak of Imran Khan\u2019s first cypher audio tape, another purported tape emerged on social media in which the former prime minister was talking to then foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, then planning minister Asad Umar and his then principal secretary Azam Khan directing them what they were required to do.
\nThe whole thing has exposed how Imran manipulated the whole situation and spun his tale of lies regarding the American cypher. In the audio tape, a voice believed to be that of Imran Khan can be heard talking with Qureshi.
\nImran Khan tells Qureshi: \u201cShah ji, we want to hold a meeting tomorrow. You, Asad Umar, Azam Khan, foreign secretary and I will attend the meeting. We will tell the meeting that we will secretly have to write the minutes of our own choice. Azam Khan is suggesting writing minutes of the letter.
\nWe should keep its photocopy. This letter came on 8th but the meeting was held on 7th. We must not mention America\u2019s name in any case. No one should utter America\u2019s name.\u201d On this, a voice believed to be that of Asad Umar chipped in correcting Imran that it was not a letter rather it was a transcript of the meeting.
\nThe purported voice of Asad asked Imran: \u201cAre you deliberately calling it a letter? It\u2019s not a letter, it\u2019s transcript of a meeting.\u201d To which the purported voice of Imran replied \u201cIt\u2019s that, transcript of the meeting. Letter or transcript are the same things.\u201d
\nThe PTI chief further said \u201cThe public won\u2019t understand the transcript. We have to say like this in public rallies.\u201d Earlier, in the first audio tape of Imran Khan leaked on Sept 28, he could be heard directing his then principal secretary that they should play with the cypher issue without taking the name of the United States. \u201cLet\u2019s play with it and make it foreign plot,\u201d Imran Khan said.
\nIn the audio clip of around one and a half minutes\u2019 duration, the voice believed to be of Imran can be heard saying \u201cWe just have to play with it, by hiding the date and without naming US\u201d. Azam Khan suggests that a meeting of Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Foreign Secretary should be held where Shah Mahmood Qureshi will be asked to read out the letter.
\n\u201cSo whatever he will tell us, I will type it down and convert it into minutes. After this, we will write the analysis as we deem fit, so it becomes part of the record\u201d, he suggested. Azam Khan further said that in the analysis, \u201cWe will say that the language used in the letter is termed a threat and the minutes of the meeting are in my hand as we can draft them according to our wishes.\u201d
\nAfter listening to his principal secretary\u2019s suggestion, Imran Khan directs him to go ahead with the meeting. Azam further said that foreign secretary should be called to the meeting so that this thing can be highlighted at the bureaucratic level, not just the political one. \u201cYou understand what I\u2019m saying,\u201d he asked Imran Khan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
