PTI Ban and Governor’s Rule in KP Unlikely, Says Senator Faisal Vawda
Islamabad: Senator Faisal Vawda has stated that he does not foresee a ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) or the imposition of Governor’s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). He claimed that the government has been facilitating PTI, calling it their marketing team. He also criticized the government for mishandling the recent protests.
In an interview, Vawda further stated that a group of seven women, led by the “Murshid” (spiritual guide), was trying to use the death of PTI’s founder, Imran Khan, for political gain over the next fifty years. He pointed out that the very person who is responsible for the downfall of PTI and its founder is the same one who has been manipulating the party’s leadership.
Vawda also accused individuals who had entered into deals with the government, particularly those who had returned to Pakistan after exile, of facing future arrests if they step out of line. He mentioned that during recent protests, it was first Bushra Bibi (Imran Khan’s wife) and Ghulam Sarwar Khan who fled, even though Bushra Bibi had been prepared to sacrifice herself, but footage later revealed her casually walking into a car.
The Senator continued, asserting that if Bushra Bibi visits the PTI founder to provide spiritual water or food, the state will not be responsible for any consequences. He emphasized that the only way to save Imran Khan was by not allowing any meetings with him.
Vawda went on to state that since Bushra Bibi’s entry into Imran Khan’s life, the party has shifted its focus from integrity to corruption, violence, and anti-institutional rhetoric. He further claimed that the real beneficiaries of PTI’s corruption were the “Vultures,” including Bushra Bibi’s family and children.
He concluded by saying that Imran Khan is the true leader of PTI, and no one, not even his wife, has the right to undermine his authority. He questioned why, if the founder ordered a protest at D-Chowk, his wife and close associates fled instead of showing support.
