ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif suggested Tuesday that Bushra Bibi’s recent release and departure to Peshawar were more than routine occurrences.
In a message on his social media account, the minister wrote that the tricks of Gandapur are to make tall claims first, hurl threats, disappear from public processions and then appear -- “Aniyan Janiyan” (coming and going).
“Perhaps the entire PTI are in the process of making a fool of themselves. There is an indication of a behind-the-scene story in saying goodbye to Punjab by Begum Sahiba and her camping in the annexe of the Peshawar Chief Minister House. These two personalities give news of a fixed wrestling and some sort of an apology. And this is not happening without the will of the PTI founder,” he wrote. The minister also claimed that all of them are collectively making the workers fools.
Earlier, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said that Bushra’s release is on merit and it has nothing to do with any deal. Likewise, during a news conference in Peshawar, PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram defended the spouse of party founder Imran Khan, saying that Bushra Bibi is a housewife and can live wherever she likes to.
