ISLAMABAD:  Chairman PTI’s spokesperson Dr Shireen Mazari has said that stories of Reham Khan hitting Imran Khan are absolute lies – and called them “the product of a vicious mind.” In a statement issued here, Ms Mazari regretted that rumours are being given out by the media about the breakup of Chairman Khan’s marriage to Reham Khan. On behalf of the Chairman, she said, “I wish to categorically state that all stories of vast monetary settlements made to Reham Khan are absolutely false and lies deliberately being floated to target Reham Khan and Imran Khan.”

She said no PTI leader was privy to either discussion of Khan’s marriage nor of the divorce. Accusations of party leaders being a cause of the divorce are fabrications, she added. Khan’s spokesperson said the party leadership had always kept out of the Chairman’s personal affairs and continues to do so. “It is unfortunate that the media is floating all manner of rumours and conjectures about the divorce of Imran Khan and Reham Khan at a time when both are going through a difficult personal time as are their families, especially their children,” said Mazari.
