Multiple cases have been registered in Punjab province of Pakistan against jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi for allegedly speaking against Saudi Arabia, officials said here on Saturday.
At least four cases were registered against Bushra Bibi under the Telegraph Act of 1885 and other provisions on the complaint of citizens who blamed her for inciting religious hatred, misleading the public and attacking a brotherly country, Saudi Arabia, officials said. In a video statement, Bushra Bibi said Khan’s problems began when he visited Madina and was seen coming out of his plane without shoes.

“Soon after Khan’s return, former army chief Bajwa started getting calls Ye tum kya utha key ley aaye ho (whom have you brought)? We are ending the Sharia system in this country and you have brought promoters of Sharia,” she said in the video.
