Gill denies rumors of PM, Bushra Bibi tiff

First lady's friend also condemns propaganda about personal lives of people

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill on Sunday said that the government has approached the country’s courts against a journalist who issued “insulting and fabricated” statements about first lady Bushra Bibi.

The SAPM said that “strict legal action would be taken against those who spread false news about the first lady”.

A day ago, a journalist had claimed that Bushra Bibi had “gotten into a fight with PM Imran Khan” and had left Bani Gala for Lahore to stay at her friend, Farah Khan’s house. The rumor soon started spreading on social media and WhatsApp groups.

Farah refuted the news of the couple’s alleged fight and separation and denied that the first lady was staying at her place. “I am surprised how someone made this up because Bushra Bibi has not visited Lahore in a long time,” Farah said.

“The first lady is still in Bani Gala with her husband and they have not had any fights.” She said that people’s personal lives should not be dragged into politics and condemned the “fake propaganda” spread about the first lady.
