Bushra Bibi’s Saudi Remark Sparks Outrage from Government

Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has come under intense criticism from the government following her recent comments about Saudi Arabia. During a public appearance, she made a remark that was widely interpreted as disparaging towards the Kingdom, causing a political storm.

Government officials quickly condemned her statement, with many calling it inappropriate and harmful to Pakistan’s diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia. The foreign office emphasized that the bilateral ties between the two countries are vital, and any remarks that could jeopardize these relations were not in the national interest.

Critics argue that such comments, especially from a high-profile figure like Bushra Bibi, could negatively affect Pakistan’s international standing and its relations with key allies in the region. The government, in its response, expressed strong disapproval of her remarks, reiterating that Pakistan values its friendship with Saudi Arabia and that such jibes would not be tolerated.

This controversy has fueled political tensions, with some opposition figures suggesting that the remarks were an attempt to distract from domestic issues, while others have questioned the former first lady’s role in public discourse.
