“Bring people to protest or get kicked out of party,” Bushra Bibi tells PTI leaders

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, stepped up her involvement in politics as a member of the party’s consultation committee, confirmed sources. 

The sources revealed that the development came under the direction of party founder Imran Khan. 

Geo News quoted party sources, saying, “Bushra Bibi participated in the meeting that oversaw the protest preparation set to be held on November 24 and directed the office bearers and party leaders regarding the Islamabad march."

“Former first lady directed the MNAs and MPAs to bring at least 10,000 and 5,000 workers, respectively, for march to Islamabad from their constituencies,” sources revealed.

Moreover, she also warned, “If MNAs and MPAs fail to bring workers, and if any leader is arrested prior to the protest will no longer be considered a member of PTI,” sources privy to the meeting quoted Bushra Bibi. 

In contrast, Imran Khan’s counsel, Faisal Chaudhary, denied the rumours regarding Bushra Bibi’s participation in politics, although he admitted that she was communicating Imran Khan’s messages to the party leaders, as they were not being allowed to meet the former prime minister in Adiala Jail. 

However, in spite of the odds between the founder and officer bearers in the party regarding the announcement of the protest date with consultation, they were preparing for the march to Islamabad to end Imran Khan’s incarceration and against the 26th amendment implemented last month after approval of a majority of votes.
