The audio leak is being considered an expose on how Maryam Nawaz allegedly made a deal or was involved in “back-channel talks” for Ishaq Dar’s return.
PML-N senior leader Ishaq Dar returned to Pakistan from London after a 5 years long self-imposed exile. Prior to his return, his permanent arrest warrant for the corruption charges was suspended. Tuesday, Ishaq Dar was sworn in as a senator.
Audio leaks fiasco
Due to the recent onslaught of leaked audios, Maryam Nawaz is being accused of interfering in government matters despite holding no public office. In the first audio leak, Maryam Nawaz suggested jacking up fuel prices. In another audio leak, she was insisting on shutting down the previous government’s health program which benefitted millions.

“There goes convict-on-bail again telling Crime Minister what to do and how she has made a deal so Dar’s return won’t be a problem for imported government’s handlers. Crime Minister really is a puppet with more than one source pulling his strings. Nowhere else in the world can a convict run the government,” PTI leader Shireen Mazari tweeted.
