Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced constitution of a high-powered committee to investigate audio leaks allegedly featuring the conversation of the premier with the high-profile government officials and ruling party leader Maryam Nawaz. However, we did not consider it appropriate to take up this matter in the federal cabinet since the matter involves India. He also asked the media to highlight the content of audio leaks which exposed the corruption of “Imran and his cronies”. The announcement came a day after PM Shehbaz summoned the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting on September 28 to discuss audio leaks. The audios drew sharp criticism from the opposition, which expressed concerns over the security of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
