    Barrister Saif accuses Maryam Nawaz of mistreating Bushra bibi

    Information Advisor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Barrister Saif has claimed on Tuesday that former First Lady Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, is being mistreated in Adiala jail on Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz’s orders.

    Barrister Saif claimed that Bushra Bibi was frisked in jail continuously under the guise of prison check by the police in front of cameras and added that she was also mentally tormented after being forcefully awakened at night, ARY News has reported.

    He said, “Bushra Bibi kay through Imran Khan ko toornay ki koshish ki ja rahi hai.”

    Meanwhile, responding to Barrister Saif’s accusations, Punjab’s Information Minister Azma Bokhari said, “Maryam Nawaz is not even aware of which cell Bushra Bibi is in at Adiala Jail.”

    She further added, “Bushra Bibi can eat eggs, chicken, or chicken broth; Maryam Nawaz doesn’t care.”

    Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokahri expressed concern on Monday over fake content on social media sites in her case and suggested that social media apps should be blocked if they are not regulated.

    Speaking to the media during her appearance at the Lahore High Court (LHC), She said, “Social media platforms are making money in Pakistan but are not accountable to anyone. If social media apps cannot be regulated, they better be shut down.”

    The information minister pointed out that social media was being regulated all over the world except in Pakistan.

    She further added, “Social media cannot be run without regulation. Whenever we talk about regulation of social media, the talk of freedom of speech comes in the way.”

    “Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials complain that they cannot question social media apps due to lack of capacity. This highlights the state of social media affairs in Pakistan, where everyone is free and unaccountable,” Azma Bokhari concluded.
