His remarks came after another audio clip allegedly involving a family member of Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial went viral on social media on the last weekend. Fawad referred to the earlier alleged audio leaks of the Prime Minister Office and said that the PTI repeatedly requested the Supreme Court to take note of the leaks but the apex court did not fix their petition for hearing despite passage of many months. He said that after judges, politicians, and government officials, housewives have also become the victim of “this third-class thinking and no one can do anything” about it. Under the fair trial law, illegal phone-tapping is punishable, he added. Earlier on weekend, an audio clip allegedly featuring the mother-in-law of the CJP and the wife of a PTI lawyer went viral on social media wherein both could be heard discussing the ongoing political crisis. Both also can be found discussing the case being heard by the apex court about holding of elections in Punjab. Separately, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan has demanded a forensic analysis of the latest audio clip.
