Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan‘s wife Bushra Bibi issued a video message regarding the party’s Nov 24 protest call, urging PTI workers and supporters to participate in the much-hyped protest, which has been dubbed ‘final or do-or-die’ against the government.
Creating a new controversy, she claimed that propaganda began against them following their visit to Madinah in Saudi Arabia.
According to her, former Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa began receiving calls where he was told that Khan was not acceptable to them.
The PTI founder’s wife went on to add the calls were followed by her character assassination and Khan being called a ‘Jewish agent.’
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi reiterated that no protest will be allowed in the federal capital as Belarus president along with a 65-member delegation is set for a state visit to Pakistan on November 24 and 25.
During a talk with the media after appearing before the Islamabad High Court, Naqvi categorically denied the reports about ongoing talks between the federal government and PTI founder Imran Khan regarding the Nov 24 protest.
The interior minister said that although he favors negotiations with the Opposition Party, he asserted that talks and threats do not go together.
