The Pakistan audio leaks controversy stems from several leaked audio conversations involving Pakistan's prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and former prime minister Imran Khan among others. The leaks began on 24 September 2022, when multiple audio files of purported conversations, allegedly recorded in the Prime Minister's Office, surfaced online. On 28 September 2022, a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting was convened to discuss matters related to national security, including the audio leaks. Skeptics, however, argue that the audio clips are quite obviously doctored, with major cuts and sound dips statements. Sher Zaman, a member of the Pakistan National Assembly, stated on Twitter that "All those gullible enough to believe leaked audios of Imran Khan & other PTI leaders r genuine then should believe this 1 too where Crime MInister is insulting big bro Nawaz & calling him a "fraudiya (fraud)" My advice to PMLN, at least hire a professional to make a doctored recording," posting a doctored video of Shehbaz. Mazari later said the clip has “cut-pasted bits” because she was midway through her sentence and “a different bit of conversation is pasted then the remainder of my sentence”. “Not that there is anything incriminating in entire audio so let PML-N ‘journo’ mouthpieces get their thrills!” she added.
