The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has distanced itself from former first lady Bushra Bibi’s claims accusing Saudi Arabia of playing a role in the ouster of her husband, Imran Khan, as prime minister.
The party clarified that her remarks were personal opinions and did not reflect PTI’s official stance.
Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif told a local TV that Bushra Bibi holds no organisational position within PTI and does not have any responsibilities in the party structure.
“Only the party chairman or secretary general can express PTI’s official position,” Saif said.
“Her statement was not issued on behalf of the party, and it is baseless to link her personal views with PTI policy,” he said, dismissing any attempts to associate her views with the party’s policies.
Saif further added: “Bushra Bibi’s viewpoint is her own. She will clarify whether her statement was personal or intended to represent the party’s stance.”
He also clarified that PTI has never issued any statement alleging Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Khan’s removal from office.
