Shaikh Rasheed-Sharaqpuri chat

In leaked audio that has gone viral on social media, Shaikh Rasheed-Sharaqpuri chat could be heard asking a certain Gul Zaman whether he made a payment to persuade PMLN leader Jalil Sharaqpuri to resign from his seat in the Punjab Assembly. The leak caused tremendous flutter in the political circles, and when Shaikh Rasheed acknowledged the veracity of this tape, though trying to dismiss it as a joke, social media came down heavy on him. Not only did Jalil Sharaqpuri, on oath, vehemently denied receiving the money but also castigated Shaikh Rasheed as a fraud adding that he is Imran Khan’s enemy and is spewing lies at the behest of someone. This leak has come in the backdrop of heightened political tensions in Punjab where Sharaqpuri sent his resignation jeopardising Hamza Shahbaz’s election for CM that is hanging in balance. Interestingly, Gul Zaman confirmed that he had a conversation with Rasheed but pointed out that he had told him not to mentions Sharaqpuri in the conversation. He intriguingly added that his friendship with the PTI candidate for CM Punjab goes back over 25 years giving rise to the implication that he may have been complicit in helping out his friend. TW
