The leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has expressed serious concerns over the narrative presented by Maryam Riaz Wattoo, the sister of Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi, and her spokesperson Mishal Yousafzai, PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat said on Monday.
Speaking on a local TV show, PTI leader Marwat said that the views emerging from Bushra Bibi’s sister and spokesperson have caused significant unease within the party’s leadership.
He further highlighted that certain individuals within PTI are reportedly connected to former operatives of agencies, creating divisions within the party.
The language and accusations being used have led to widespread frustration and helplessness among the leadership, discouraging members with constant complaints and allegations, he claimed.
Marwat urged PTI’s founder, Imran, to intervene immediately and address the situation, emphasising that this is not the time for internal disputes, as raised by Qasim Suri.
He suggested that instead of hesitating, PTI should have swiftly called for protests across the country and resumed its march to Islamabad.
It is worth noting that Wattoo and Yousafzai recently claimed that Khan places greater trust in Bushra Bibi than in his party’s “compromised” leaders.
Speaking to The Guardian, they alleged that PTI leaders often fail to follow the founder’s directives, prompting Bushra Bibi to step into a more active role.
