Bushra Bibi joins Gandapur’s convoy heading towards Islamabad
PESHAWAR, Nov 24 (SABAH): Convoys for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ( PTI) protest are making their way towards Islamabad on Sunday, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur leading a convoy, along with Bushra Bibi, from Peshawar to Swabi.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Waqas Akram confirmed that Bushra Bibi is also part of the PTI protest convoy, and she is traveling in a separate vehicle.
In a post on social media website X, he wrote that the convoy, led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, has already set off towards Islamabad.
He added that Bushra Bibi, traveling alongside party workers, could not leave workers alone at this crucial moment. She emphasised that if PTI expected families to join the workers in the protest, then Imran Khan’s family would be the first to lead by example.
According to Akram, she expressed the confidence that under Imran Khan’s leadership, the goals of the march would be successfully achieved.
Additional convoys from other regions are expected to join Gandapur in Swabi, after which the combined convoys will head towards Islamabad under Gandapur’s leadership.
As the convoys move toward the capital, security has been heightened in Islamabad in preparation for the protest.
Pakistan’s capital was put under a security lockdown on Sunday ahead of protests by supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan calling for his release.
Highways leading to Islamabad through which supporters of Khan, led by members of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, are expected to approach the city and gather near the parliament, have been blocked.
