Multiple cases have been filed against Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, for her comments about Saudi Arabia. At least four cases were registered in Punjab under the Telegraph Act of 1885, following complaints from citizens. Bushra Bibi's remarks, made in a video, suggested that Khan's political troubles began after a visit to Madina. She claimed that the former army chief received calls regarding Khan's actions during that trip. Khan defended his wife, stating she did not mention Saudi Arabia. The controversy has intensified political tensions in Pakistan, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other leaders condemning her comments. They emphasized the importance of maintaining good relations with Saudi Arabia, a key ally for Pakistan.
