In a significant development, sources indicate that Bushra Bibi’s daughter is likely to be allowed an early meeting with her mother at Adiala Jail, following behind-the-scenes efforts aimed at easing tensions over family visit arrangements.
According to informed sources, the move comes after discreet negotiations and backchannel communications intended to reduce friction regarding jail meetings and related restrictions.

Officials familiar with the matter suggest that, through informal coordination with relevant authorities, there is a strong possibility that the meeting will be facilitated in the near future.
Previously, Bushra Bibi’s daughter was permitted to meet her mother; however, complications reportedly arose after details of that meeting were shared with a family member and later surfaced on social media.
Authorities are said to have viewed the disclosure as a breach of an understanding that such interactions would remain private and not be discussed publicly.
As a result, subsequent requests for meetings faced hurdles, according to sources.
Efforts are also underway to secure meeting access for the sisters of former prime minister Imran Khan, though sources say progress may depend on written assurances that family members will avoid public statements regarding jail visits.
Officials are reportedly seeking commitments that details of such meetings will not be shared publicly, as part of efforts to maintain confidentiality and reduce political sensitivity surrounding the issue.
In a related development, concerns have reportedly been conveyed to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership over recent statements attributed to Sohail Afridi.
Intelligence-related inputs allegedly linked Afridi to remarks perceived as critical of the military, prompting concern in official circles.
Sources claim that these concerns were passed on to senior PTI leadership, including discussions involving party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, who is said to have responded by assuring that appropriate steps would be taken if the allegations are confirmed.
