On Monday, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib openly called out “certain quarters” for pushing “fake stories” about First Lady Bushra Bibi and asked them to stay away from “cheap tactics such as dragging an apolitical woman into politics”. The minister’s remarks come after a report published in The Friday Times last week, suggesting that the first lady was currently living at a friend’s place in Lahore after developing differences with PM Imran Khan. “Trouble seems to be brewing on the home front. It’s no secret that Her Holiness has bolted. She’s said to be sulking in Lahore, at the home of a friend, also known as the Front Woman …,” reads an excerpt from the report.
