LAHORE   -  PML-N leaders on Monday came down hard on Saqib Nisar over the alleged audio clip and demanded the former Chief Justice of Pakistan to explain his position. 

Party president Shehbaz Sharif claimed the audio clip showed how Nawaz and Maryam were targeted as part of a grand scheme to keep them out of political process.  “Time has come to right the wrongs inflicted on them. The nation looks forward to justice system,” he tweeted.

“The emergence of a new audio clip of former Chief Justice shows how Nawaz Sharif & Maryam Nawaz were targeted as part of a grand scheme to keep them out of political process. Time has come to right the wrongs inflicted on them. The nation looks forward to justice system.

PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb shared the screenshots of the forensic report included in the Fact Focus story, commenting: “The report card is present.

Terming the alleged audio clip “serious stuff”, secretary general Ahsan Iqbal called on Nisar to explain his position.  “These tapes provide evidence to what was an open secret in Islamabad.”

“The one who is refusing to recognise his voice today will reject his written judgements too tomorrow,” said former senator Pervaiz Rashid. Questioning the veracity of the audio clip and implying that such clips can be created, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry shared another audio in which a voice strikingly similar to Nawaz’s can be heard bizarrely criticising himself. “What [things] have technology made possible. One example is this,” he tweeted along with the clip.
