ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani cleric who solemnised former
prime minister Imran Khan's Nikkah with Bushra Bibi has said that the ceremony
was not conducted in accordance with Islamic Sharia law, according to a media
report on Wednesday.
Mufti Saeed, the cleric who solemnised the couple's
Islamic marriage in 2018, said it occurred during the iddat period of Bushra
Bibi, The Express Tribune newspaper reported.
The iddat period (three months) is a waiting period
that a Muslim woman must observe on account of the death of her husband or the
dissolution of the marriage.
A recent court hearing in Islamabad has shed light on
the controversy surrounding the marriage between the chief of the Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and Bushra, the report added.
The alleged un-Islamic marriage of Khan, now 70, and
Bushra was brought to light by a petition filed by one Muhammad Hanif. The
hearing was presided over by Senior Civil Judge Nasr Minullah Baloch.
Saeed, who serves as the principal of a seminary,
mentioned having a positive relationship with Khan and being a part of his core
committee. He claimed that Khan took him to Lahore's DHA to officiate the
couple's Nikkah in 2018.
According to him, a woman claiming to be Bushra's
sister has assured him that all the Sharia requirements for her marriage had
been fulfilled and that she and Khan were free to wed, the report said.
Saeed stated that he officiated the marriage between
both of them on January 1, 2018, based on the assurance of the woman. Following
the wedding, the couple began living together in Islamabad, he added.
However, Khan contacted him again in February 2018 and
requested him to conduct the Nikkah again, saying that at the time of their
first Nikkah, Bushra's iddat period had not been completed as she was divorced
in November 2017.
Therefore, Khan deemed their first Nikkah to be not in
accordance with Sharia.
Saeed claimed that Khan and Bushra knew the situation
and arranged their Nikkah and marriage ceremony accordingly. He also alleged
that Khan had confided in him that he believed marrying Bushra would lead to
him becoming the prime minister.
He further said that petitioner Muhammad Hanif
approached him after Taraweeh prayers (special night prayers) on the fourth day
of Ramzan and inquired about the marriage of Imran and Bushra, to which he
revealed the details.
The court has adjourned further hearings on the case
until April 19.
Khan, a cricketer-turned-politician became Pakistan's
prime minister in August 2018 and was ousted from power in April 2022. Khan is
the only Pakistani prime minister to be ousted in a no-confidence vote in
Parliament.

Dubai: The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in
Pakistan has released a report on how a woman was turned into a potential
suicide bomber after being brainwashed by a proscribed outfit Balochistan
Liberation Front (BLF)
The CTD with the help of intelligence agencies in
Pakistan have arrested a woman who was believed to be potential suicide bomber
and also recovered a ‘suicide jacket’ from her in Quetta.
The woman, who belonged to BLF, was apprehended in
February while she was carrying a bag with a suicide jacket loaded with five
kilos of explosives.
A CTD spokesperson said that the ‘suicide bomber’ was
planning to attack important installations or security forces in Quetta, but
her bid was foiled.
Brainwashing women and children
According to the report released on Wednesday, the
intelligence-based operation was carried out after the CTD Balochistan and
intelligence agencies had received information that banned terrorist
organisations were luring women and children for their nefarious designs. For
this purpose, they were not only being brainwashed but also being financially
and organisationally supported.
The report further added: “On the basis of this
information, on February17, a woman named Mahal Baloch was arrested with a
suicide jacket.
Banned terrorist group
During investigations, she revealed that her husband
Bibgar was affiliated to the banned terrorist organisation BLF and was killed
along with his brother Baloch Khan in 2016. Later, she, along with her
father-in-law and mother- in- law moved to Karachi.
During her stay in Karachi, she was contacted by the
BLA operatives who lured her to join the organisation and brainwashed her over
her husband’s association with the organisation.
Luring women
Mahal Baloch joined the organisation and moved to
Quetta where she was given the task to lure other women and bring them to
participate in various protest rallies against the government. The organisation
continued to send funds to her family to bear daily living expenses. Mahal
Baloch further revealed in a video confession that her cousin Wasim and her
in-laws are also part of BLF.
Mahal said that a suicide jacket was given to her by
BLF Commander Sharbat Khan only a week before her arrest and she had kept the
jacket hidden in her house. Sharbat Khan had told her that this jacket would
soon be used for an important attack in Quetta. However, timely action by the
CTD foiled her plan to carry out any terrorist activity.

Women Hold “Eid Bazar” in Herat
By Nasir Ahmad Salehi
On the eve of Edi al-Fitr, dozens of women held a
special market, which they call “Eid Bazar,” to sell their handmade crafts.
The sellers said that they are trying to bring the
attention of the people to purchasing domestic products.
“They at least come and visit our products. They see
that women have the perseverance to stand on their own feet,” said Ghuncha Gul
Karimi, a shopkeeper.
“The exhibition is good for women and it brings
opportunities,” said Sara Hassanzada, a shopkeeper.
The Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the
western zone said that improvement of trade in Herat encourages women’s
attention to business.
“The products which are used in Eid—that includes dry
fruits and clothes, are being displayed here,” said Bahnaz Saljoqi, deputy head
of the Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the western zone.
Some of these women expressed happiness over their
market in the recent months.
“My business dropped before, but I have not lost hope
and I was able to save myself from those problems,” said Roya Raufi, a
shopkeeper.
The presence of women was significantly high at the
first day of “Eid Bazar”.
“When we and other women are provided with such an
environment there are no restrictions from the Islamic Emirate on us. We hope
to have further improvements in the future in the business sector,” said
Shabitan, a visitor.
“The holding of such an exhibition can be effective
for the presence of women in society and for preserving the presence of women
in society,” said Samira Ahmadi, a visitor.
Two women-dedicated markets have been open over the
past 6 months in Herat.
According to the Women's Chamber of Commerce and
Industry in the western zone, more than 400 women officially and 1,500 others
unofficially are engaged in business activities in Herat.
