"We're fooked"

"[This is] probably one of the most critical times in our history. We have the most bizarre situation going on in this country," the former premier purportedly told other person in the audio believed to be US congresswoman.

In the 1.57 minutes-long audio leak, the PTI chairman briefed the US politician about his ouster from power and subsequent crackdown on his party workers.

"I received three bullets in one liquidation attempt. My government was removed by ex-army chief army [General Qamar Javed Bajwa] because the military establishment is very powerful here."

"He conspired with people who are in power currently and toppled my government," he alleged in the leaked conversation.

Khan added that his party was facing the "worst crackdown" which, according to him, no democratic party had ever faced in the country’s history.

While requesting Congresswoman Waters to issue a statement in his party’s favour, Khan said: "We would appreciate here because it goes a long way when someone like you Maxine gave a statement."

"All we want is just the rule of law and Constitution and fundamental rights. We just want a statement highlighting [crackdown] and that would really help us when someone like you Maxine speaks up it makes a lot of waves," he added.
