Bushra Bibi
Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, is currently embroiled in legal troubles after two First Information Reports (FIRs) were filed against her under the Telegraph Act of 1885 and other relevant laws.
The cases have been registered in Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur following a controversial video statement that sparked significant backlash.
In her video address, Bushra Bibi claimed that after Imran Khan’s barefoot visit to Medina, calls were made to then-Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa questioning his support for Khan.
She alleged that General Bajwa was informed about efforts to abolish Sharia law in Pakistan, which she asserted led to a campaign against Imran Khan.
Bushra further remarked that the PTI founder was unjustly labeled as a Jewish agent during this period.
The FIR filed in Dera Ghazi Khan, based on a complaint by a citizen named Ghulam Yaseen, accuses Bushra Bibi of making inflammatory statements designed to provoke public unrest.
The document alleges that her video address was part of a deliberate conspiracy aimed at creating chaos and inciting agitation among the public.
Furthermore, the FIR highlights that her comments regarding Saudi Arabia not only undermined foreign policy but also posed a threat to public interest.
Police officials have confirmed that legal proceedings against Bushra Bibi are underway under Section 126 of the Telegraph Act and additional laws.
Authorities have taken her statements seriously, given their potential implications for public order and diplomatic relations.
Meanwhile, sources within the PTI have revealed that the party’s central leadership has chosen to distance itself from Bushra Bibi’s remarks.
Senior party members have expressed concerns over her controversial statements and have reportedly advised her to consult with party officials before making any future comments.
This internal decision underscores the party’s unease with the fallout from her video address.
