Bushra Bibi takes center stage in Pakistan protests supporting Imran Khan
Bushra Bibi, the wife of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has emerged as a prominent figure in recent protests in Pakistan. After her release from jail, she has actively defended her husband and rallied supporters, marking a shift from her previously low-profile role. During protests in Islamabad, Bibi made a direct appeal to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters, urging them to remain steadfast until Khan's return. Her unexpected public appearances have drawn attention, despite the government's crackdown on demonstrations, which resulted in numerous arrests and fatalities. While some view her involvement as a unifying force for the party, it has also sparked internal tensions. Khan has downplayed her political influence, stating she only conveys his messages, while the party maintains she is not a political leader.
