LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Barrister ZafarullahKhan on Tuesday stated that the way Jemima Khan was criticised by thenation was a shameful move on its part.
Talking in a program on a private news channel, the PML-N leader said thisnation is under the debt of Jemima.
“I am ashamed of what we did with Imran Khan’s former wife Jemima Khan.”
“Although I have political differences with PTI, but our people did wrongwith Jemima and I am ashamed of it,” he said, adding we criticised her bycalling her a Jew although Prophet (PBUH) has allowed marriage with a Jewwoman.
“Secondly, if she said that she is Muslim, we are no one to dismiss that,”Khan said.
The barrister further said that he considers Jemima Khan an honourable ladyfor two main reasons.
“Even after her divorce with Imran Khan, she handed over the affidavit ofBani Gala residence to PTI chief stating that she bought this property andafter their separation, she cannot keep it,” PML-N leader said, adding thatthis shows her grace.
Explaining the second reason, he said the daughter Seeta White-who isallegedly the illegitimate daughter of Imran Khan is being brought up byJemima. “Because her father and Seeta White’s father are close friends,” hesaid, adding if anyone has done anything wrong with her, it should not havebeen done.
