LONDON: Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf founder Imran Khan doesn’t trust his party’s senior leadership for diluting and manipulating his instructions and for this reason,

Bushra Bibi is taking centre stage in Pakistani politics for the first time and is expected to become a rallying figure like her husband, Imran Khan

A charred lorry, empty tear gas shells and posters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan - it was all that remained of a massive protest led by Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, that had sent the entire capital into lockdown.

PTI leader also expresses dissatisfaction with decision to let Aleema Khan announce protest instead of Barrister Gohar

Bushra Bibi, the reclusive wife of jailed cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has emerged on the global stage as a key Pakistan protest leader. Quiet has descended on the streets of Islamabad following last week's mass protest march which led to deadly clashes between security forces and the former prime minister's supporters who were demanding his release from prison.

An Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and 94 other individuals in connection with a case related to the PTI protest in Islamabad last week.

In the chaos of protests that turned Pakistan's capital into a battleground, a new figurehead has emerged: Bushra Bibi, the wife of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan. Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was clear about where he apportioned blame for the chaos.

Pakistan this week saw serious turmoil, with supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan defying government lockdowns and violent police opposition to demand the release of jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder.

The team's visit to Peshawar came after an accountability court in a November 22 ruling issued non-bailable warrants against Bibi as she missed eight consecutive hearings.

Bushra Bibi, Imran Khan's wife, has emerged as a key figure in Pakistan's political turmoil, leading protests for his release and solidifying her role as a prominent PTI leader.
