Islamabad: Imran Khan's second wife Reham Khan claimed that she fled Pakistan after receiving death threats for speaking out about the cricketer-turned-politician. Reham told a British newspaper that she fled the country after receiving threats of being “blown up.” Individuals seeking to protect Imran Khan’s political career, “told us . . . that anyone who talks about Imran now is going to be blown up,” she said.
Reham reiterated her claim that the relationship between Imran Khan and his third wife Bushra Watoo began while he was still married to her. A British-Pakistani citizen, Reham came back to UK during Christmas to finish her autobiography, which is expected to include revelations about her marriage, after she and her assistant were threatened by individuals seeking to protect Khan’s political career.
Recalling the time when he proposed to her she said, “he sent me a message saying I want to know your parents’ names for my spiritual adviser”. Interestingly, she added, “when we had a spat, he said the spiritual adviser had mixed up the names”. Reham claimed that while she was married to the PTI chairman, he was “very clear” that becoming prime minister of Pakistan was an end in itself for him.
“He’s a sportsman, he has to bring in the trophy,” she said. Reham also said that she feels Imran Khan no longer has a chance of becoming the prime minister.
