Government responsible for bringing disrepute to country and military: Bushra Bibi

Speaking to journalists at Adiala jail, Bushra Bibi says 'Every individual within the government as the devil.'

Bushra Bibi, the jailed wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s imprisoned founding leader Imran Khan has said  that the government is responsible for bringing disrepute to the country and its military. 

While having an informal coversation with journalists at Adiala Jail, Bushra Bibi stated that in the afterlife, there are two places: Alim Barzakh, where there are muttaqis, abstainers, and righteous people, while the other is the prison where souls come to Earth, where there is a place where there is a government of devils.

She went on to say that the country is ruled by fraudsters and thieves, and labelled every individual within the government as the devil.

Bushra, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison on January 31 along with Imran in a gift repository case, was confined to a room at Bani Gala which was declared a sub-jail on the order of Islamabad chief commissioner on the same day, January 31. The couple was later acquitted in the case.

Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were later also convicted in the Nikkah Iddat case in February, just days before the general elections.

Earlier during the day, an accountability court in Islamabad had granted bail to Bushra Bibi, in a £190 million corruption case, providing some relief in the ongoing legal battles faced by the former first lady.

However, prison officials stated that she cannot be released due to her conviction in the Iddat case
