Imran agreed to changing PTI's protest venue, but Bushra Bibi refused: Barrister Saif

Adviser to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif said on Tuesday the administration had suggested holding the rally on the outskirts of Islamabad and PTI founder Imran khan had initially agreed to this proposal.

Speaking to a private TV channel, Saif said while the party’s announcement focused on D-Chowk, the administration had not granted permission for the venue.

The suggestion to hold the rally on the city’s outskirt was taken to the PTI chairman and he consented. However, the proposal was later rejected by the party members. He said that Bushra Bibi insisted on holding the protest at D-Chowk.

“The release of our chairman must follow due legal process, but the government is influencing these cases unlawfully,” Saif asserted, reiterating that the protests are against the misuse of law to target the PTI leadership.
