LONDON – Reham Khan, Imran Khan’s former wife claimed that the latter hadfive illegitimate offspring, some of them Indians. After their marriage in2015, while discussing Tyrian White, Imran’s daughter from American heiressSita White, Reham claims Imran had five Indian kids.
She quoted him saying: ““You know she isn’t the only one I have… There are5 in total, that I know of”.
To this Reham asked how he knew, Imran claimed that the mothers told him.He claimed the ‘some were Indians, and the eldest was 34.
He claimed that the mother was overjoyed because she’d been married forages and couldn’t get pregnant. He said: ““Because she was over the moon!She had been married for ages and couldn’t get pregnant. She was overjoyed,promised to keep it a secret, and begged to keep it. So I said OK.””
He claimed the mothers kept quiet, because they didn’t want their marriagesto be destroyed. Officially Imran Khan has declared only two legitimatechildren in his election affidavit.
Interestingly, Reham Khan also asked him to learn from Narendra Modi. Shewrote: “I knew it wasn’t happening. It was all over as we had predicted,but I didn’t have the heart to ever say that after we got married. Iassured him that I would have a green silk suit ready… I would gently andrepeatedly give the example of Modi, the Indian Prime Minister, who wasChief Minister of Gujarat for a decade, and then elected to the top jobbecause his seemingly strong governance record, despite all the othernegative baggage.”
Earlier, in an interview to an CNN18, Khan alleged that her former husbandsought sexual favours for political positions. She also said that in caseImran Khan becomes the Prime Minister of Pakistan, it would be verydangerous for the country.
Extracts of the unreleased book were reportedly leaked by hackers online.Since then, the BBC’s former weather presenter has sought an injunction toprevent further releases.
The buzz created by the book and the sensational allegations by Reham Khancan effectively derail Imran Khan’s chances for any success in the upcominggeneral election in July.
Pakistan will hold a general election on July 25. Pakistan’s government andparliament was dissolved on May 31st and a new interim prime minister andan interim administration have taken over.
The cricketer-turned-politician’s Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, or JusticeParty, is expected to be the main challenger to the ruling party.
The outgoing government of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is only the second tocomplete a five year term in office, which underscores a democratictransition in the nuclear armed nation.
The upcoming election is due to be held at a time of growing politicalinstability, with the ruling PML-N party accusing the powerful military,which has ruled Pakistan for about half its history since independence in1947, of interfering in politics and trying to weaken it.
The military denies involvement in politics.
The interim administration usually does not make any major decisions exceptfor supervising elections until a new government is elected, though it maybe forced to act to shore up the $300 billion economy amid a worseningmacro-economic outlook.
Pakistan’s foreign reserves are rapidly depleting and the current accountdeficit has widened sharply over the past year, prompting many analysts tospeculate Pakistan may need another International Monetary Fund (IMF)bailout.
However, Pakistan is expecting to obtain fresh Chinese loans worth $1-2billion to help it avert a balance of payments crisis, Pakistani governmentsources have said.
