The influence of Bushra Bibi, wife of the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in her husband’s politics is much speculated on, however no substantial proof has come to light.

That all changed on Friday, when a private diary, purportedly written by the former First Lady, turned up in news reports.

The diary has shocking revelations, including methods of dealing with the administration, military, and judiciary.

It can be seen clearly from the content of the diary that Bushra Bibi was guiding Chairman Imran Khan in political matters. The matter has generated a debate about the boundaries of spousal involvement in political matters.

The most shocking finding from the diary is that Bushra Bibi made a plan to mold Imran Khan’s mindset through prayers and persuasive language.

Furthermore, it appears that Bushra Bibi was involved in formulating PTI’s political strategy based on passages of her diary that were released. According to the diary entries, Bushra Bibi gave instructions to Chairman PTI about how to pray and what phrases to use in order to create an environment that would support PTI’s goals.

Tactics to put pressure on the military and establishment are mentioned including one sentence that said, “Governer Raj Laga tou Shehr Band Krna Hoga” [If Governor Raj is imposed, cities must be shut down.]

The diary also calls General Bajwa “Mamu” and suggests ways to put pressure on significant figures and organizations.
