The stark similarity between the statements delivered by Congress party leaders and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan have been quite visible in recent months.
It is notable here that supernatural claims and rumours about Bushra Bibi are quite common in Pakistan. Bushra Bibi is known as ‘Pinky Peerni’, a living saint-woman with special powers.
Khan specifically requested the United States to initiate a dialogue with the Taliban government in Afghanistan saying if the US does not take the lead, Pakistan will be most affected by it.
Khan was quoted by BBC as saying, "I think they (Taliban) will allow women to go to schools. The idea that women should not be educated is just not Islamic. It has nothing to do with religion."
Pandora Papers show many senior Pakistani leaders who are part of Imran Khan's government have undisclosed assets and trusts holding millions of dollars of hidden wealth abroad.
