Bushra Bibi, wife of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, faced a tense situation during a protest in Islamabad on November 26. A spokesperson claimed shots were fired at her vehicle and a chemical substance was thrown on it, but police denied using live ammunition. The protest aimed to demand Khan's release, but it faced criticism for its location. The event was abruptly postponed on November 27, resulting in nearly 1,000 arrests and leading to resignations within the party's leadership. Following the protest, Bushra Bibi reportedly did not meet with anyone for two days. The party is now dealing with internal strife and external challenges, including a potential ban and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
