Another audio leak of PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz had surfaced yesterday in which she was allegedly talking to former information minister Pervaiz Rasheed regarding the contacts with the media houses.
In the audio leak, they were allegedly talking about Geo News DN Rana Jawad and senior journalist Nusrat Javed without taking their names that had been sent two baskets as gifts by the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

After the audio leak, Nusrat Javeed is defending himself by responding to the allegations in which he clearly admitted to accepting gifts from different personalities.
On the other hand, Geo News DN Rana Jawad kept a complete silence over the speculations, making the scenario more suspicious when media personalities are being blamed for becoming part of politicians’ propaganda campaigns after receiving gifts.
