Pakistan Muslim League-nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Saturday claimed that 'remnants' of former spy chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed were still present in the establishment and supporting former Prime Minister Imran Khan. In an informal conversation with reporters in Lahore, the ruling party leader said that no other state institution was backing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman. She also called upon the judiciary to "hold some individuals accountable” following the emergence of audio leaks.

The ruling party leader said the PTI chief was not appearing before the courts on the “pretext of plaster on his leg”. “No one has been given as much leniency as Imran Khan is being given by the judiciary. Despite being caught red-handed, no action is being taken against him. There is no greater injustice than the double standards of justice,” she remarked. "The judiciary has to hold accountable and prevent a couple of characters [from supporting Imran Khan]," she added. Refering to the judiciary, Maryam underscored that institutions do not get weak if a few individuals are held accountable. “Their accountability must be done by the judiciary itself,” she said without taking any names.
