He said Ali Amin Gandapur, Mahmood Khan, Usman Buzdar and Sohail Afridi are also decisions of Bushra Bibi.
The decision to remove Ali Amin Gandapur was also the decision of Bushra Bibi. No one listens to Barrister Gohar, the former PTI leader said.
To a question, he said, “I have been expelled from the party three times. Now I can meet whoever I want. Nawaz Sharif said that he was happy to meet me. It is difficult for Sohail Afridi to run a protest movement.”
Bushra Bibi exerted significant influence over critical government decisions and high-profile appointments during the tenure of Imran Khan as prime minister, according to a report published by The Economist.
According to senior journalist Owen Bennett-Jones, sources close to Imran Khan’s inner circle claimed that Bushra Bibi played a substantial role in shaping governmental choices, with many alleging that her spiritual influence over Khan led to a perception that his decision-making process had been overshadowed by her guidance.
