A new audio leak of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former Punjab minister Syed Samsam Bukhari about May 9 protests dropped another bombshell,

“They held a core committee meeting three days ago in which they planned all this,” Samsam can be heard saying in the purported audio recorded at a private gathering.

“[Shehryar] Afridi and [Qasim] Suri were present in the meeting,” he said and added that Murad Saeed was the “dirtiest person”.

“They designed in the meeting that every protest will be directed against the army,” he said.

“Thank God that I was not there. I have a very good relationship with Yasmeen Rashid,” he added.
