Bushra Bibi ‘playing key role’ in mobilising workers for PTI’s protest

PESHAWAR: Despite the denial of Bushra Bibi’s involvement in the political fray, party sources have said that the former first lady has been mobilising the rank and file of the party to ensure maximum participation of workers in the upcoming protest on November 24, The News reported on Monday.Sources privy to the developments told the that Chief Minister’s House had become the centre of PTI’s political activities as the party was making preparations for the planned protest, adding that Bushra has held a series of meetings at the CM House with the PTI leaders from Hazara, Malakand, and Balochistan.The development is seemingly contradictory to the “categorical denial” of the ex-first lady’s involvement in politics as communicated by party lawyer Faisal Chaudhry.Quoting the incarcerated PTI founder, the lawyer maintained that the former prime minister had categorically rejected media reports claiming that his wife had formally stepped into politics.”She [Bushra] is neither joining politics nor will she in future,” said Chaudhry to journalists after meeting Khan in Adiala jail last week.
