The former first lady of Pakistan Bushra Bibi allegedly dictated and supervised the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government.
Lahore: The former first lady of Pakistan Bushra Bibi allegedly dictated and supervised the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government, according to several pages of a diary purportedly written by the former prime minister's wife.
The entries in the diary which has many missing pages disclose a string of “covert moves” aimed at exerting pressure on key state organs.
According to allegations, the former first lady influenced the PTI chairman through prayers, and the former prime minister was persuaded to use specific words (as part of indoctrination) for this reason.
Furthermore, diary reveals her efforts to help her husband "handle someone".
According to the article, Bushra kept making political and strategic decisions for the PTI, and the chairman saw to it that they were all carried out in letter and spirit. It suggests that his wife had total power over the prime minister.
The secret word "uncle" is used in the journal to refer to former COAS Bajwa.
Additionally, it’s written in the diary that preparations should be made to close down the city if Governor’s Rule was imposed, says the report.
