An alleged journal written by Bushra Bibi, wife of the former prime minister and current chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has surfaced, generating a commotion in Pakistani politics.
The diary has sparked a contentious debate over Bushra’s role in influencing the deposed premier’s political decisions because it supposedly contains orders and instructions she allegedly sent to her husband.
Portions of the diary have been broadcast on television and shared on social media, where they have swiftly gone viral. According to the entries, Bushra advised and guided Imran’s political strategy, including decisions concerning the government, the courts, and the military.
Diary entries purportedly written by Bushra present a picture of her orchestrating political strategy for the PTI. She is rumored to have counseled Imran to put pressure on the police, the military, and the courts. According to reports, the journal also details plans for public comments, rallies, and demonstrations to put pressure on the government and establishment.
An important assertion in the diary concerns a prayer Imran was told to perform, which allegedly included words with a rebellious tone. This has prompted inquiries into the relationship between religion and politics.
In addition, Bushra appears to have had a significant role in influencing Imran’s thinking toward the idea of a political revolution, as evidenced by his journal entries. She allegedly warned him that he should be ready to take drastic measures, including the evacuation of entire cities.
It appears from Bushra’s diary that he actively participated in the development of legal strategy by suggesting questions for use by PTI attorneys. The length of the government and the purported goals of those working to destabilize Pakistan came up as common themes in these inquiries.
Skeptics of the diary’s veracity say it could be an attempt to damage Imran’s reputation and the PTI’s standing in the public eye. The timing and origin of these charges have been called into doubt by PTI and Imran’s supporters, who suspect they are politically driven.
Meanwhile, well-known presenter, commentator, and journalist Javed Chaudhry has come up with the information that the widely shared diary is, in fact, Bushra’s.
During a phone call with an Express News anchor, Javed, who claimed to have seen the diary, revealed shocking information about its provenance and contents.
According to Javed’s story, the police raided Imran’s Lahore home in Zaman Park on August 5 and took Bushra’s diary from her.
The journalist claimed personal knowledge of the diary and described it as a green notebook with the year “2020” printed on the front. He explained that the diary had been given to Imran as a gift from a friendly country, and that Imran had then given it to Bushra.
According to rumors, Imran’s diary entries detail everything from party planning methods to his daily schedule.
According to Javed, the journal specifies everything from when time of day Imran should drink water to what time of day he should take milk before bed.
According to the journalist, the diary also features suggested times of day for prayer and petition.
In addition to the five required prayers, Javed mentioned that the journal includes precise directions for the reciting of prayers and the offering of Nafl (voluntary) prayers.
The reporter also claimed to have found passport numbers and rules for Imran’s speeches and news conferences.
The journalist speculated that Bushra’s diaries showed her to have considerable sway over party decisions.
The writings, Javed emphasized, even include directions on how Imran should respond to specific queries and topics during public appearances.
Remarkably, Javed disclosed that the diary encourages a statewide shutdown in the event of a governor rule being implemented in Punjab.
There includes advice on how to interact with lawyers, including a direct reference to Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, and a suggestion that the judiciary should be put under intense pressure to prevent unfavorable verdicts.
In response to skeptics, Javed pointed out that the diary’s writing style is consistent with Bushra’s earlier works, and that the personal information it contains could be checked against other records. He implied that the diary’s financial information, including account numbers, might be verifiable.
