ased by the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), purportedly shows the judge allegedly admitting to a lack of evidence against the former prime minister, who was sentenced to seven years in prison by the same judge in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference in December. PML-N VP Maryam Nawaz alleged on Saturday that the video showed the judge saying he was "blackmailed" and coerced into sending her father to prison despite there being no proof of corruption against him.
But the government again raised questions of the authenticity of the controversial video clip, with SAPM Shahzad Akbar saying at the press conference on Monday that a forensic audit should be carried out of the video clip.
He reiterated that the other man in the video, who Maryam described as PML-N worker Nasir Butt, was a convicted criminal who has previously served a prison sentence in Pakistan.
Akbar questioned who had attacked the judiciary in the past, and said judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan had declared these same people members of a 'Sicilian mafia' in a previous verdict.
