ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, the wife of ex-prime minister Imran Khan, has decided to file a criminal case against Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz for defamation, Pakistan Tehkreek-e-Insaf senior leader Fawad Chaudhry said on Tuesday.
Fawad Chaudhry said in a press conference that Maryam Nawaz alleged that Bushra Bibi was taking bribes to get official papers signed by the authorities during the previous PTI government.
He said she has never participated in political activities and was only seen visiting shelter homes.
Fawad said that even though Bushra Bibi is apolitical, Maryam continued to hurl accusations against her.
Maryam Nawaz’s allegations
Maryam Nawaz has repeatedly accused Bushra Bibi of receiving bribes — including a diamond set in return for using her influence during Imran Khan-led government.
She had alleged that Bushra Bibi’s close friend Farhat Shehzadi remained actively involved in running the affairs of the Usman Buzdar-led Punjab government. She would also receive bribes for official postings and transfers of the officials.
