In Islamabad, Pakistan, Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, is facing new legal charges. These charges come after she allegedly made inflammatory statements that could incite public hatred. The accusations are being handled under Section 126 of the Telegraph Act of 1885 and other relevant laws.
Bushra Bibi is accused of making provocative remarks against Saudi Arabia, which allegedly contributed to the ouster of her husband, Imran Khan. The charges claim that her statements were made with intent and planning to stir public emotions. Two separate cases have been filed against her, one in Dera Ghazi Khan by a citizen named Ghulam Yaseen, and another in Rajanpur by a citizen named Hakeem.
The PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has responded to the issue. Party spokesperson Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif stated that Bushra Bibi's comments were taken out of context and blamed the media for distorting her words. He clarified that Bushra Bibi did not accuse Saudi Arabia or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of any wrongdoing.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab's Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz have condemned Bushra Bibi's remarks, accusing her of damaging Pakistan's relations with Saudi Arabia. Maryam Nawaz expressed disbelief at how a non-political individual could harm foreign relations.
