Both Bushra Bibi, CM Gandapur want to lead party’s main caravan from Peshawar
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - The cracks appeared within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) moments before the party’s caravan was scheduled to leave for Islamabad from Peshawar on Sunday.
According to sources, a rift appeared between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and Bushra Bibi the day when party is scheduled to hold protest in Islamabad.
Both Bushra Bibi and CM Gandapur wanted to lead the party’s main caravan from Peshawar.
The sources said that exchange of words were seen between the two bigwigs on Sunday morning.
Ali Amin Gandapur said that Bushra Bibi didn’t have any link with party’s politics and therefore she must stay away from the rally.
Earlier, it was reported yesterday that Bushra Bibi will not participate in the much-important protest call scheduled in Islamabad.

It was confirmed by her spokesperson Mashal Yousafzai on Saturday.
She said that the former first lady wouldn’t participate in Nov 24 protest call of the party as she wasn’t feeling well.
The sources said that Bushra Bibi was active in the party affairs since November 1 while also chairing several meetings in Peshawar.
She also chaired meetings regarding the preparations of party’s protest call in Islamabad for the release of Imran Khan.
The sources said that the PTI founder has sent her a message to stay away from the political activities.
It may be recalled that on November 13, PTI founder Imran Khan issued a “final call” for nationwide protests on November 24, denouncing the "stolen mandate, the unjust arrests of people and the passage of the 26th amendment," which he said has strengthened a “dictatorial regime”.
