Another purported audio of Bushra Bibi comes to light
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Another purported audio of Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, has come to the fore.
The audio leak emerged days after an alleged audio clip of PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi and former special assistant to prime minister Zulfi Bukhari’s conversation about the sale of expensive wristwatches gifted to the former premier by world leaders.
In the latest leaked audio, Bushra Bibi can be heard grouching at Bani Gala’s administrator Inam Khan for taking pictures of Toshakhana gifts and lashed out at him for not taking permission from her.
The former first lady informed the former Bani Gala administrator, "From now on, you won t visit [my] house and stay where you are with those images."
In the earlier audio, Zulfi Bukhari was heard greeting Bushra Bibi and calling her “Murshid”. In reply, she asked about the caller’s wellbeing. She can also be heard saying that she has some watches of the former premier and that she wants him (Bukhari) to sell these as they are no longer in use. Mr Bukhari says he will sell these.
Later, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zulfikar Bukhari on Thursday declared the alleged audio leak involving former first lady Bushra Bibi "fake" and demanded its forensic anlaysis. "Earlier, it was reported that the watch had been sold to a man, Umer Zahoor, but after serving him legal notice, a new story emerged. Mr Bukhari added that college students could also create audio like this. He said he was prepared to pay for the forensic analysis of the alleged audio.

Inaam: Assalamoalaikum
Bushra Bibi: Waalaikum salam. Did you ask Akbar to make its photographs of the items that came from the Toshakhana?
Inaam: No, I didn’t
Bushra Bibi: Then why were the photographs made? Photos of things that come inside the house shouldn’t be made. Photos should only be made of the things going outside the house.
Inaam: It was just that…
Bushra Bibi: Why are photos being made of things which are coming to me?
Inaam: No, I… I didn’t ask to…
