Ansar Abbasi Reveals Shocking Details on Bushra Bibi’s Release and Alleged Deal Conditions

Islamabad: Following the release of Bushra Bibi from Adiala Jail, discussions about potential deals have emerged. Senior journalist and analyst Ansar Abbasi raised eyebrows with his revelations regarding the circumstances surrounding her release. In his recent blog published in “Jang,” Abbasi noted that although the senior leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has denied any deal, claims made by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur suggest otherwise. Gandapur reportedly told party colleagues that he played a role in Bushra Bibi’s release, raising questions about the validity of such claims.
In his blog, Abbasi recounted a conversation with Gandapur, who was evasive about his involvement. However, Gandapur’s spokesperson, Barrister Saif, confirmed that Gandapur indeed mentioned his role in her release. The nature of any agreement with the establishment remains unclear, as does what assurances were made by Gandapur or Imran Khan regarding Bushra Bibi’s release.
Abbasi shared insights from discussions he had concerning the establishment’s perspective, particularly the Islamabad High Court’s decision to grant bail. He mentioned that it was communicated to Gandapur that Bushra Bibi would not be re-arrested upon her release. He speculated that if there was indeed a deal, it might involve a commitment from PTI to avoid direct criticism of the military and its leadership while also refraining from targeting the country’s economy.
In closing, Abbasi emphasized that if any agreements were made regarding Bushra Bibi’s release, they would likely include stipulations on not politicizing economic recovery efforts. He noted that while the PTI could continue to criticize the government, a more lenient approach toward cases involving Imran Khan and other party leaders could alleviate their legal challenges. The coming days will reveal whether the party’s rhetoric shifts, indicating the existence of a potential deal.
