Bushra Bibi urges nation to join PTI’s protest for ‘real freedom’

ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, released a video on Thursday urging the entire nation to come out on the streets on November 24 to take part in the Pakistan Tehreeke-e-Insaf’s planned rally in Islamabad.

In the video message, she conveyed Imran Khan’s message, calling on all sections of society, including lawyers and judges, to join the PTI protest. “This is a battle for real freedom,” she said, emphasising Imran Khan’s “commitment to the rule of law.”

Bushra Bibi dismissed rumours of changing the protest date, stating, “November 24 will not be altered unless the PTI chairman himself announces it. Until he addresses the nation, the date remains unchanged.”

Criticizing state institutions, she questioned why police and authorities were “meeting out cruelty to their own children” and urged them to act within the bounds of the constitution. She said that the protest would be peaceful and lawful, but pointed fingers at state institutions of violating the law.

“Is Pakistan only for Imran Khan? Should he be the only one sacrificing?” she asked, adding that the PTI chairman had been confined to a small space for 18 months for advocating for justice and the supremacy of the law.

Bushra Bibi reassured those in power that the PTI founder harbours no intentions of retribution and revenge. “He has vowed to open the doors of forgiveness once in power. Revenge is not in his plan, nor is it liked by Allah,” she said.

Addressing the state intuitions, she urged them to view protesters as their own brothers and sisters. “Do not become oppressors. The children and young people participating in this protest rally are part of your families,” she said.

The video message comes as the PTI gears up for a “do or die” powershow.
