PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz enters 2022 with a newly leaked audio. In the new audio, Maryam Nawaz is conversing with PML-N leader Pervaiz Rasheed, discussing top media journalists who are against PML-N.
According to the audio, the two PML-N leaders noted how journalists Hassan Nisar and Irshad Bhatti use crass words against PML-N.
“Another one, Mazhar Abbas’ conversations also have a tilt against us. More often than not he spins our conversations and makes fun of them,” Pervaiz Rasheed added. Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz agreed with him throughout.
“There is no one there who can be called our spokesperson,” Pervaiz Rasheed said.

Interestingly, Pervaiz Rasheed also recalled how Pakistani journalist Hafeez Ullah Niazi was removed for speaking against the now Prime Minister Imran Khan. He termed the removal of Hafeez Ullah Niazi an “injustice.”
On this note, Maryam Nawaz said that she will ask the reasons for Niazi’s removal.
To clarify, the two PML-N leaders were voicing concern over the fact that the media company had employed journalists who were very critical of PML-N. Meanwhile, it had fired those who were against Imran Khan. Terming this “biasness,” Maryam Nawaz assured Pervaiz Rasheed that she will look into the matter.

@arsched my dear, it was a basket of fruit and this came only once. In comparison to this @JahangirKTareen had regularly been sending crates of Mangoes to me. Aftab Sherpao Sahib had sent me GURR from his farm only two days ago; expecting the same from Asfandyar Wali as well.
