    Bushra Bibi, Aleema Khan quarrel at Adiala jail

    Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi and his sister Aleema Khan exchanged harsh words during the Toshakhana case hearing at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, Express Tribune has reported.

    An uproar flared up in the family section of the prison, where women’s voices were heard arguing loudly, interrupting Imran Khan’s conversation with journalists thrice.

    The dispute started after Aleema Khan commented about a female lawyer in court, to which Bushra Bibi and her daughters responded, upon which a heated conversation escalated, and both exchanged hard-hitting words.

    Meanwhile, Bushra Bibi’s granddaughter started crying as the argument unfolded.

    Outside the jail, Aleema talked to journalists to take a swipe at PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat.
    “Imran Khan just shook hands with Sher Afzal Marwat, he did not hug him,” Aleema stated.

    She accused Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa of trying to eliminate PTI and Imran Khan. “As Qazi Faez ends his tenure, the election results will crumble.”
    Faez Isa and Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Amir Farooq are a part of the London agreement plan, which facilitates Nawaz Sharif, she alleged.

    ‘’Faiz was more Bajwa man than PTI and was working for his own benefit,’’ Marwat stated
    While talking about militants resettling in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Marwat claimed. ‘’it was not Imran Khan’s decision alone but the parliament’s, but setting them free after rehabilitation was a mistake.”

    FO spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, addressing a weekly press briefing, recalled that the decision to suspend trade with India was taken after 2019, saying, “This situation remains intact.”

    She also condemned the killing of four Kashmiri youths by Indian occupation forces in the Doda district, emphasising that the brutal act was yet another example of India’s oppression of the Kashmiri people.

  • Why did Jemima Khan block all emails from Pakistanis?

    Why did Jemima Khan block all emails from Pakistanis?

    Social activist and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima Khan has revealed that she had to block emails from Pakistan due to cyber-harassment.

    Jemima posted a statement on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), blaming Imran Khan’s opponents for allegedly harassing her.

    She wrote, “To friends in Pakistan legitimately trying to contact me. I have had to block all emails from Pakistan thanks to a cyber harassment operation, no doubt instigated by PTI’s desperate opponents. As Twitter/ X is banned in Pakistan by said desperate opponents, only those with VPNs will see this.”

    “Pakistani politics… the gift that keeps giving, even after leaving the country 20 years ago.”

    Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supporters have staged protests outside Jemima Goldsmith’s mother’s house in the preceding few years as PTI supporters staged daily protests outside Nawaz Sharif’s home.

    PML-N supporters said it was retaliation for the PTI’s frequent protests outside Avenfield House, where Nawaz Sharif resided.

    Jemima and Imran are parents to two sons, Sulaiman Isa Khan and Kasim Khan.

    Khan calls Faiz Hameed ‘an asset’ that was wasted

    Founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan, while talking to journalists in Adiala Jail, broke his silence on the recent arrest of former ISI chief Faiz Hameed, saying, “I have no connections with Faiz Hameed’s arrest.”

    On Monday, the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), announced that it had taken Hameed into custody over allegations of land grabbing and stealing valuables from the owner of Top City Housing Society.

    It also stated that court-martial proceedings had been started against the former spymaster, who was once considered very close with former prime minister Khan.

    Khan also criticised this military’s treatment of Gen Faiz, calling him an “asset that was wasted.”

    He suggested that accountability is good but should be “across-the-board accountability.”

    Khan recalled that ex-army chief Gen Bajwa removed Hameed at the behest of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, and after that, a heated exchange occurred between Khan and Bajwa.
