Bushra Bibi’s ‘baseless’ comments spark controversy; PTI protest faces setback

PTI’s efforts to mobilize protesters for the upcoming rally have largely failed, with party workers choosing to be arrested rather than risk participating in a protest that could expose the party’s collapse.

Despite days of intense efforts by PTI MNAs and MPAs, the protest plans have fizzled out, and even Bushra Bibi’s stern warnings did not have the desired effect.

Bushra Bibi’s recent statements have attracted significant criticism, with questions raised about her courting judges and lawyers despite having no formal role within the party. Critics accuse her of making baseless accusations against Saudi Arabia and claim her comments were made under the influence of outside interests, particularly individuals linked to goldsmiths and Jewish lobbies.

The controversy has escalated with accusations of inciting violence and provoking the judiciary for political gain.

Some have called for legal action against her, arguing that her statements, which include defending Imran Khan and his alleged corruption, are misleading and damaging to Pakistan’s international relations, particularly with Saudi Arabia.
