The core committee of the PTI has condemned the “fresh series of enforced disappearances” of PTI-backed successful independents, claiming that some of these were also being forced to quit the party.

It also expressed concerns over the “serious threats” to the life of party chief Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi during detention at Bani Gala.

In a post on X, the party said the former first lady was being kept in detention at Imran’s Bani Gala residence “against her will”, claiming that she had been given “poisonous food”.
