Islamabad (Newsman): Pakistan Tehreek – e – Insaf (PTI) has distanced itself from Bushra Bibi’s rare outburst wherein she hurled allegations on Saudi Arabia for ouster of Imran Khan from the power.
PTI spokesman, Barrister Saif, in a statement issued to media on Friday morning, clarified that Bushra Bibi’s last day’s statement does not reflect PTI policy and it could be taken as her personnel opinion.
Barrister Saif added that PTI founder Imran Khan, chairman Gohar Khan and the spokesman are authorised to issue any party policy statement. Barrister Saif’s clarification has come in the context of Bushra Bibi’s first political statement issued ahead of November 24 protest call.
Bushra Bibj, in her statement, had alleged that Imran Khan’s visit to Saudi Arabia barefoot as premier cost him the rule.
