Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM denies rift with Bushra Bibi amid party tensions

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has denied reports of a rift with Bushra Bibi, stating that claims of discord are unfounded and part of a smear campaign. He emphasized their strong relationship and focus on securing the release of PTI founder Imran Khan. The denial follows tensions during a recent protest in Islamabad, where Gandapur reportedly disagreed with Bushra on the strategy for the sit-in. Despite claims of differences, other PTI leaders have stated that there was no forceful removal of Bushra from the protest site. Gandapur plans to address the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly to discuss the situation and outline future actions. Tensions within the PTI core committee have also been reported, with disagreements over leadership and party direction.
