–Reham denies meeting Maryam, receiving money from Shehbaz
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s former wife Reham Khan
has been served with defamation notices by her former husband Ijazur Rehman, former cricketer Wasim Akram, Imran’s close aide Zulfi Bukhari, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa outgoing chief minister Parvez Khattak, PTI’s Hamza Ali Abbasi, Asad Umar, Murad Saeed, Anila Khawaja and four others for publishing “defamatory and malicious” content in her upcoming autobiography.
According to the notice, the manuscript of her purported autobiography titled ‘Reham Khan’ contains a
“litany of malicious, false, incorrect, highly misleading, callous, wanton, tortious, prejudicial, damaging, libellous and defamatory imputations”.
The notice sent by a
law firm representing 12 petitioners adds that “our clients will be seeking full redress through the courts for the serious damage and harm” the book is anticipated to inflict on them.
The notice, mailed to Reham in UK, demands a detailed answer from her within 14 days and will be dismissed if she removes the “malicious content” besides stating her sources.
Reham Khan’s upcoming book has become a source of controversy in both the mainstream and social media. In the book,
Reham has levelled serious allegations against the aforementioned personalities.
It is said to
revolve around her marriage to PTI chief Imran Khan, which ended in a divorce mere 15 months later. The manuscript of her book was leaked online, which irked several PTI leaders who took to Twitter to accuse her of being part of an “agenda” ahead of the upcoming general election.
Earlier, Reham claimed that her former husband Imran Khan did not fulfil requirements of Article 62 and 63 as
he hid their marriage for two months.
REHAM DENIES MEETING MARYAM, RECEIVING MONEY FROM SHEHBAZ:
Meanwhile,
Reham Khan denied an earlier allegation by Fawad Chaudhry of having met Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s political rival Nawaz Sharif.
In an interview to a private television channel, Reham refuted allegations of receiving money from Shehbaz Sharif.
“The accusation of receiving money from Shehbaz is incorrect, I never met him or Maryam,” she said, threatening to take the accusers to court.
Reham also requested Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar to take notice of the issue.
“I cannot understand why PTI is apprehensive about my book,” she said in the interview.
Aiming the guns at her former spouse, Reham said Imran had not complied with Articles 62 and 63, as he had their marriage for two months.
She also criticised Imran over the recent nominations of candidates for caretaker chief minister for Punjab, for which the party has come under fire after it withdrew the name of its proposed candidate Nasir Khosa.
Reham also questioned allegations of writing the book on a hidden agenda. Responding to PTI Spokesman Chaudhry’s claims on Twitter that “the whole book [written by Reham] is an exercise to demolish only real opposition”, she said:
“How will my book affect the outcome of elections.”

So her life started after she married IK?
What is wrong with women in Pakistani politics...they either sound like screaming banshees (on tv shows) or are stupid to a disgusting level...Gulalai comes to mind also!
She was married to him for a further 13 months? Was she shocked about the previous 2 mths of no publicity that she didnt voice during the 13 mths?
Like she doesnt know? Seriously?
Sounds like a "mujhay kiyun nikala scheme"
