Rana Sanaullah calls upon CJP, NA Speaker to take notice of new audio leak allegedly featuring PML-Q lawmakers

ISLAMABAD, Jan 17 (SABAH): Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Tuesday urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial and National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to take notice of a new audio leak purportedly featuring PML-Q MNA Hussain Elahi and PML-Q leader Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, where the duo could be heard talking about abducting a lawmaker.

The audio, slightly longer than a minute, started making the rounds on social media on Monday night. In the clip, Hussain and Wajahat are allegedly discussing on a possible vote of confidence in the National Assembly.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has hinted at returning to parliament to ensure that turncoats do not help Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif get a vote of confidence that the party was planning to test the premier with.

Reacting to the leak, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan said that planning the abduction of a woman was condemnable. He stated that PTI chairman Imran Khan and his intent to buy the conscience of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmakers had been exposed before the public.

“Which court will give justice to party chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and MNA Farah Khan. CJP should take note of the audio and this trade of conscience,” Rana Sanaullah tweeted, adding that the NA speaker should do the same.
