Former first lady's diary makes 'eye-opening revelations'

Bushra Bibi dictated PTI govt, brainwashed former prime minister

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Some pages of a diary allegedly attributed to former prime minister’s wife Bushra Bibi have made revelations that the former first lady used to dictate and run the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government. 

The excerpts from the diary, though sketchy, reveal who would put pressure and how the pressure would be exerted on the judiciary, the army and the government. Everything was recorded in the diary allegedly by Bushra Bibi. 

The former first lady allegedly brainwashed the PTI chairman through prayers and for this purpose, the former prime minister was convinced to use certain words (as part of indoctrination). 

The diary reveals that Bushra Bibi would instruct the PTI chairman which words he would use and how these would be used to pray. 

It says the judiciary should be pressurised to prevent it from giving any adverse decision. The writing proved that Bushra kept giving political dictation to the PTI chairman.

Bushra's diary further reveals her efforts to help her husband "handle someone". 

“How the government, establishment and judiciary will be pressurised,” a report says about the diary contents without elaborating on it. 

Bushra, the report says, continued to make political and strategic decisions for the PTI and the chairman made sure all these decisions were implemented in letter and spirit. It implies the prime minister was under complete control of his wife. 

In the diary, retired Gen Bajwa has been mentioned in code word ‘uncle’.  It's written in the diary that preparations should be made to close down the city if Governor’s Rule was imposed, says the report. 

Some of the pages of the diary were torn by Bushra Bibi, it adds.
