Bushra Bibi's close friend Farah Khan flies to Dubai

Farah Khan was repeatedly accused of being involved in ‘corruption’ by opposition leaders

Farah Khan, a close acquaintance of former first lady Bushra Bibi, has left for Dubai following the dissolution of the National Assembly in the wake of the no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

In addition to Farah, other leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have also started to leave for abroad, Express News reported.

According to sources in the PTI, Farah left for Dubai today (Sunday), adding that her husband also resides in the Emirati state.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as well as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice-President Maryam Nawaz mentioned Farah Khan several times recently and accused her of being involved in corruption.

Responding to the accusations, outgoing prime minister Imran's close aide Shehbaz Gill had said that Maryam had begun to target Bushra's friend after she couldn't find the grounds to criticise her.
