Several cases have been registered in Pakistan's Punjab province against former Prime Minister Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, who has been jailed for allegedly speaking against Saudi Arabia, officials said on Saturday.

At least four complaints were filed against Bushra Bibi under the Telegraph Act of 1885 and other citizen complaint provisions accusing him of inciting religious hatred, misleading the public and attacking a sister country , Saudi Arabia, officials said.

In a video statement, Bushra Bibi said Khan's problems began during his visit to Medina and he was seen exiting his plane without shoes.

She claimed that the then army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa received calls after the incident. Soon after Khan's return, Bajwa started receiving calls Ye tum kya utha key laa aaye ho (who have you brought)? We are ending the sharia system in this country and you have brought in sharia promoters,” she said, referring to Khan's September 2018 visit, in the video released Thursday.

Incarcerated in Adiala prison since last year, Khan, 72, however, defended his wife on Friday and said “she did not mention Saudi Arabia at all” in the video, hours after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, and former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa flayed Bushra Bibi for his comments.

These multiple cases were recorded in Dera Ghazi Khan, Gujranwala, Multan, Rajanpur and Muzaffarghar districts of Punjab after Prime Minister Sharif criticized Bushra Biwi on Friday.

As the controversy heated up the political atmosphere in the country, Sharif and many other leaders and ministers of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) said strong action would be taken against those trying to sabotage Pakistani-Saudi relations .

The video aimed to motivate supporters of the Khan Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party to join Sunday's protest in Islamabad, but instead sparked controversy due to the indirect reference to Saudi Arabia's alleged role in his ouster of power.

Saudi Arabia and China have been two of Pakistan's biggest supporters, helping it overcome the economic crisis.

However, in the 9:27 min video, also available on PTI's official X account, Bushra Biwi did not name any country.

Besides defending his wife, Khan in a post on PTI's official X-account, also claimed that the fall of his government was orchestrated by Bajwa and accused him of preventing investigations into the alleged plot.

Prime Minister Sharif, at a ceremony in Islamabad on Friday, warned that propaganda targeting Saudi Arabia was against the national interest.

A statement was issued yesterday that I believe there can be no greater enmity against Pakistan than spewing venom against the country which has never demanded anything in return and has always opened its doors to Pakistan,” he said in an apparent reference to Bushra. Bibis remarks.

General Bajwa was too quick to refute Bushra Bibis' claims and termed his statement to the media as lies, “wondering how a friendly country could interfere in the internal affairs of Pakistan.

Defense Minister Asif Khawaja, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Information Minister Atta Tarar also criticized his remarks.

Not just the ruling party's coalition leaders, Khan's wife's claim surprised even PTI leaders and they are now questioning the controversial statement, issued ahead of the party's Sunday rally in Islamabad.
