    Did Khan just confirm Bushra Bibi’s ‘prove them traitors’ audio leak is legit?

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the spur of the moment likely confirmed the audio leak in which his wife Bushra Bibi is allegedly instructing Khan’s former Focal Person for Digital Media, Dr Arslan Khalid, to run a campaign to ‘prove them traitors’.

    “From my house, [Bani Gala] from my secure line, Bushra Begum made a call to someone [Arsalan Khalid] that too was leaked,” said Khan while speaking with journalist Moeed Pirzada on 92 News.

    It is pertinent to mention here that in the alleged leaked audio, Bushra Bibi could be heard saying, “Khan Sahib told you to run a hashtag of treason. I have been getting calls from people that your social media was very active but after a week, it is not. You should have been very active nowadays.”

    She also allegedly said that former PTI leader Aleem Khan and others will talk against her, her friend Farah and Imran Khan as well. “They will make so much fuss and they will also give testimonies of people but you don’t have to make any issue of it. Just link them all with treason,” says Bushra Bibi.

    “I am telling you, you don’t have to discuss this issue with anyone. They are after him [Imran Khan] because of this. But you have to link it with treason.”

    The former first lady allegedly asks Khalid to direct his team to take up the issue of the government not buying oil from Russia and link it with how Imran Khan was being betrayed.

    “You cannot let this matter die down,” Bushra Bibi allegedly says to him, asking him to make a trend so people know that the country and Khan are being betrayed.

    Channel boasts getting construction of first Hindu temple in Islamabad stopped, backtracks later

    A private media outlet that had claimed credit for getting stopped the construction of Islamabad’s first Hindu temple later retracted its story amid severe backlash.

    As per the details, the construction of the first Hindu temple in the federal capital has been stopped by the authorities after fierce opposition from religious hardliners as well as an ally of the ruling party, Chaudhrys of Gujrat’s Pakistan Muslim League (PML).

    The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Friday stopped construction of the boundary wall on the plot meant for the temple citing legal reasons.

    A joint team of the CDA’s enforcement and building control departments reached the site of the temple in Sector H-9/2 and directed workers to stop constructing the boundary wall.

    According to reports, a CDA official said that the building control laws of the civic authority clearly stated that no activity could take place on a plot until the building plan was approved.

    However, according to another CDA official, it was possibly the first time that this clause had been enforced as all owners were allowed to construct boundary walls and ensure possession of their plot while formalities regarding approval of the map continue.

    Meanwhile, a private media outlet, 92 News, claimed the credit for stopping the construction of the temple.

    “Owing to successful efforts of 92 News, the CDA stopped the construction of a temple in Islamabad on Friday,” the news channel said in a report titled “92 News Efforts Bear Fruit As CDA Stops Construction Of Temple In Islamabad“, which has now been retracted.

    Earlier, the construction of the temple had been opposed by religio-political among other right-wing organisations.

    A leading religious school had issued a fatwa against construction of the temple, calling it “un-Islamic”, while parties like Jamiat Ulemae Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) had voiced their concerns over the same for they said it was “against Pakistan’s ideology”.

    PML leader and Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervaiz Elahi had also said that Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and construction of a temple on its soil “was against the very spirit of Islam”.
