‘Artificial audio tape was created against me’: Ajmal Wazir

Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government advisor Ajmal Wazir, who stepped down from his post after an audio scandal, said that a conspiracy was hatched against him.

In a statement, Ajmal Wazir said that he was convinced of the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan and would face the charges. Artificial audio tape was created by editing various meetings and briefings.

The basis on which this audio was based was the list of the advertising companies for the TV channel. According to the information rules, the chairman of the steering committee is the Minister of Information. The steering committee had met twice and was chaired by the health minister, said Ajmal Wazir.

Former Information Advisor said that he has nothing to do with the issue for which he is being criticized.

I was an honorary member of the committee, had no decision-making power, he added.
