Imran Khan Orders Bushra Bibi to Stay Away from Politics After Controversial Statement
Islamabad:Following the controversy surrounding a recent statement by Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister has reportedly instructed her to refrain from engaging in political matters. The statement in question, which sparked criticism and concern within the PTI leadership, has led to significant internal discussions.
Media reports indicate that after Bushra Bibi’s controversial remark, senior PTI leaders expressed their concerns, prompting Imran Khan to take immediate action. The majority of PTI’s central leadership has distanced itself from the statement, deciding to separate themselves from the controversy.
Sources within PTI revealed that Imran Khan has advised Bushra Bibi to consult with the party leadership before making any public statements or taking any political actions. This guidance comes as part of an effort to ensure that all decisions align with the party’s stance and strategy.
Despite the controversy, it is reported that Bushra Bibi will still be part of the planned protest on November 24. However, she will not play a central role in the event. This decision aims to reduce her direct involvement in the political discourse, allowing the focus to remain on the party’s core leadership.
Meanwhile, after facing backlash for her statement, Bushra Bibi attempted to send a message to Imran Khan through Misal Yusufzai. However, reports suggest that she was unable to meet with the PTI founder during his detention at Adiala Jail, where he is currently being held.
PTI sources also mentioned that Bushra Bibi’s message was edited before being posted, raising questions about how such a significant error could have been overlooked. The internal response from PTI leaders emphasizes the importance of maintaining discipline and cohesion within the party, especially as it navigates the ongoing political challenges.
With tensions running high, the PTI leadership is working to ensure that any further public statements or actions from Bushra Bibi do not cause additional disruptions.
