A leaked audio recording has surfaced, revealing a conversation between former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lt. Gen. (R) Faiz Hameed and former Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Chairman Absar Alam.
In the leaked audio, Faiz Hameed can be heard pressuring Absar Alam to grant favours, including resolving issues with licenses for two old channels.
In the leaked audio, Faiz Hameed is heard asking Absar Alam why he has not been given any attention, to which Alam responds that he is willing to cooperate.
The conversation takes a menacing turn when Faiz Hameed mentions sending Brigadier Ghaffar to follow up on the matter.
Absar Alam appears surprised by the request, noting that Hameed had never made such a request before.
The ex-ISI chief then insists that they have made numerous requests in the past, expressing a desire for Alam to address this matter directly. He mentions that a Brigadier Ghaffar would be contacting Alam to provide further details.
