In a video message shared on PTI’s official X handle, Bushra had alleged that Saudi Arabia had a role in the removal of the PTI government.
She had claimed that during Imran Khan’s visit to Medina, Saudi officials expressed dissatisfaction, allegedly asking the then army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa why Imran had accompanied him.
