Reacting to upcoming book of Reham Khan, Imran Khan's ex-wife, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Tuesday alleged that "Raiwind mafia" and Pakistan's former ambassador to United States Husain Haqqani are behind this script.
"I demand Reham Khan to take back the contents of her book within 24 hours and apologize; otherwise, we will take action against her," warned PTI leader Fawad Chauhdhry while addressing a press conference here on Tuesday.
He also urged Election commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of Reham Khan's book and ban it. He said, "I urge the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of the book and ban it."
He also asked the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) to take up the issue "as Reham has attempted to damage the entire family system."
Terming the book a part of "Raiwind scheme," Fawad Chaudhry said the book was supported by Husain Haqqani. "We know how the Raiwind mafia operates," he claimed.
He said that recent picture of Reham Khan and Haqqani is in front of everyone. He said, "In 1990, Husain Haqqani also did a press conference with Mustafa Khar before Tehmina Durrani's book 'My Feudal Lord' was published."
The PTI spokesperson said that Reham's upcoming book "has been facilitated by Haqqani network." Chaudhry said, "Federal Investigating Agency (FIA)'s cyber crime wing should investigate the emails of Ahsan Iqbal sent to Reham Khan." He said that there are also reports of a meeting between Maryam Nawaz and Reham. "No woman can even think of getting her young adult children to edit this sort of material that this book contains," he added. "Reham said that she penned the book while sitting with her young son and daughter but the contents of the book are shocking and damaging of the entire family system of Pakistan," the PTI leader said.
The PTI leader said, "Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and company claim adding 11,000MW electricity to the system. I think they have taken it back with them. Nawaz Sharif should start his election campaign with an apology." He added that Shahbaz Sharif had asked to change his name if he failed to fulfil his claims. "Shahbaz Sharif's name should now be changed to Shabana or whatever," he added. "Nawaz should apologies to the nation for all the fake promises he made," the PTI leader added. The PTI leader also urged Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to take notice of the "gossip shows" being aired on television.
"Everyone is gossiping on TV and Reham and everyone else is enjoying it," he said.
He further questioned how Reham had been living a "princess's life" while not earning any money. "What is her source of income?" he asked while alleging that Reham is no longer employed.
"She has been divorced for three years and has been snapped at five-star hotels and islands in Istanbul but where from she is getting this money," he asked.
He also quoted Salman Ahmed as alleging that Reham received 100,000 pounds sterling from Shahbaz Sharif.
Questioning the timing of the book, Chauhdry said, "Reham has been divorced for three years but she decided to publish the book two months before the upcoming election."
Fawad Chaudhry said that in 1996, Sita White scandal was brought up as Imran entered politics and now this book has surfaced.
Stating that "everyone associated with Imran becomes famous," Chaudhry said, "Even Imran's dog Sheru is popular on social media."
PTI Chairman Imran Khan's ex-wife Reham Khan has written a book which is likely to be published before elections. However, the yet-to-be-published book has been making a lot of chatter lately for what Reham has written inside it about ex-husband Imran Khan.
The leaked manuscript of Reham's book has sparked a debate on mainstream and social media because of the allegations made against Imran Khan and his close aides in the book. The book will possibly have some implications for the party during elections.
