Bushra Ansari takes a U-turn after hurling bribe allegations on Nawaz Sharif

Bushra Ansari has taken a U-turn after hurling bribe allegations at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.

It started as popular TV personality Bushra Ansari spoke at the 16th Aalmi Urdu Conference at Arts Council Karachi.

Bushra Ansari shared a story from her past about her father, Ahmad Bashir, saying he was allegedly offered a bribe on behalf of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, without naming the party.

After the video of the statement went viral, Bushra Ansari came under massive backlash.

However, taking to social media, Bushra has issued a clarification, saying that whatever she said was true, however, people made a big deal out of it.

Urging people to not make a big deal out of her statement, Bushra Ansari said she respects all political leaders.

“The thing is, Nawaz Sharif may not have sent that person to my father. There are many people in the party and they [make their own decisions]. However, a person from PML-N had offered a bribe to my father. I did not say that Nawaz Sharif had sent him,” the actor said.

“Every government had made some compromises starting from Zia-ul-Haq, Pervez Musharraf or Zardari. Every government made compromises and mistakes and we dealt with it and are still dealing with them,” she added.

Bushra Ansari went on to add that Nawaz Sharif is her leader and his government had done some very good things during his tenure.

“Like I said he [Nawaz] changed Punjab. […] I don’t want anyone to affiliate me with any party or against any party. Whatever it is, Nawaz Sharif is our leader,” she added.
