Punjab government spokesperson Uzma Bukhari criticized Bushra Bibi, wife of PTI founder Imran Khan, for her role in organizing a protest scheduled for November 24. Bukhari claimed Bushra's actions contradict her "apolitical" stance, as she directed party members to mobilize large crowds. The Islamabad administration has imposed Section 144 to prevent gatherings ahead of the protest. The police have requested 9,000 additional personnel to manage potential unrest, indicating concerns over clashes between PTI supporters and law enforcement. In a leaked audio, Bushra Bibi urged PTI lawmakers to document the protest and ensure public participation. She emphasized the need for alternative communication methods during potential internet disruptions and instructed party members to avoid arrests.
