Those involved in leaking client and lawyer’s private conversation should be ashamed of their actions, says Khosa
An audio clip, purportedly featuring Bushra Bibi, the wife of Imran Khan, chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his lawyer, Latif Khosa, is circulating on social media, indicating differences within the former prime minister’s family amidst his incarceration. In the audio clip, Bushra and Khosa can be heard discussing their grievances against Khan’s sisters. The former first lady recalls a recent incident when Khan’s sisters raised concerns about the handling of a case related to Khan’s safety in Attock jail. She went on to say that the presence of the sisters created complications.
In October, Bushra had filed a petition in Islamabad High Court (IHC) through Khosa, expressing concerns that her husband could be poisoned in prison. She stated that tampering with her husband’s food could be detrimental to his life, emphasising that Khan is not being provided with the facilities to which he is entitled, as per the prison manual.
In the leaked audio, Bushra disclosed that she informed Khan’s sisters about hiring Khosa as her lawyer for all her cases, particularly those experiencing delays. Khosa responded by saying that Khan’s sisters had accused him of misbehaving with them. Bushra, recounting the sisters’ words, stated, “They said he (Khosa) misbehaved with us that we could never think about someone having the courage to do so”. Despite her advice against visiting Khosa’s office, she noted that Khan’s sisters insisted on doing so.
