LONDON – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan’s former wife RehamKhan has once again hit out at the cricket-turned-politician, accusing himof promoting hate politics in Pakistan. Speaking to WION, Reham Khanfurther said that marrying Imran Khan was the biggest mistake of her life.
When asked about Imran Khan being the frontrunner ahead of Pakistan generalelections, scheduled for Wednesday, Reham said that if the PTI chiefbecomes the Prime Minister, Pakistan will be driven to an “extreme end”.
Referring to Imran Khan as an extremist, Reham said that Pakistan will soonbe “labelled as an extremist nation” if the PTI is voted to power.
On allegations of the Pakistani Army and ISI backing the candidature ofImran Khan as the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the journalist pointed thatthe PTI chief had himself acknowledged that country’s spy agency wasinterfering in the elections. She said, “Imran Khan is acting like Army’sfangirl”.
She, however, added that no party or leader has ever come to power inPakistan without the support of Army or ISI. “Nobody has come to power inPakistan without the support of the establishment and if Imran comes topower he will come up that way too,” said Reham.
According to Reham, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) president Bilawal BhuttoZardari has emerged as a “breath of fresh air” in the run up to thePakistan general elections. She said that while Bilawal had been making allthe right moves and speaking against hate politics, Imran Khan wasindulging in hate politics.
“Imran is not doing that, he is indulging in hate politics. His speechesare not decent enough to be printed in our textbooks,” Reham told WION.
She termed Pakistan general elections as a “set up” and added that nomatter who is chosen to power, the country will have a “compromiseddemocracy”.
