Bushra Khan leads major protest in Islamabad supporting jailed husband Imran Khan

Bushra Khan, wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, led a major protest in Islamabad this week, rallying thousands in support of her jailed husband. This marked her first public address, where she urged supporters to remain until Khan is released. Bushra, who has kept a low profile since their marriage in 2018, has recently gained prominence within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Following a midnight raid by security forces, the protest was temporarily suspended, and she reportedly fled to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Political analysts suggest Bushra is emerging as a key figure in PTI, despite her desire for privacy. Her leadership during the protests reflects a shift in the party's strategy, as she mobilizes support while Khan remains imprisoned.
