Bushra Bibi's allegations against Saudi Arabia are shameful: Khawaja Asif

Islamabad: Federal Defense Minister Khawaja Asif termed former First Lady Bushra Bibi’s claims about an alleged foreign conspiracy to overthrow her husband PTI founder’s government and the allegations against Saudi Arabia as shameful.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, he said that they had historic relations with Saudi Arabia. 2.8 million Pakistanis are working in Saudi Arabia.

He stated that Bushra Bibi’s allegations against Saudi Arabia are shameful. Making allegations against a friendly country to save politics is a very despicable act. Bushra Bibi made the controversial statement to save the sinking ship of politics.

Asif added that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership also demonstrated religious bankruptcy. These people consider themselves the guardians of religion. Bushra Bibi is calling herself Sharia, she has also insulted religion.

Khawaja Asif added that there is a dispute between the women of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the inheritance of the political party. In the inheritance battle, there are three women on one side and Bushra Bibi on the other.

He said that Qamar Javed Bajwa should personally deny this allegation.

He further said that he did business by taking the watch of the country against which they made a statement. In the Apex Committee, Gandapur said that everyone took gifts from Toshakhana.

Defense minister also added that Gandapur attacks Islamabad and Punjab every day. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a victim of terrorism and no steps have been taken to prevent terrorism.

Khawaja Asif claimed that the leadership of PTI does not want the PTI founder to be released. If he was released, the business of the party leaders would not work.

The Defense Minister said that they had no contact with the PTI whatsoever.
