Islamabad, June 4 (TNS): Reham Khan claimed on Monday that her former husband Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan did not fulfill requirements of Article 62 and 63, as he hid their marriage for two months, local media reported.

Reham has remained at the centre of controversy after the manuscript of her book was leaked online, which irked several PTI leaders who took to Twitter to accuse her of being part of an “agenda” ahead of the upcoming general elections.

In an interview to a private television channel, Reham also criticized Imran over the recent nominations of candidates for the caretaker chief minister for Punjab, for which the party has come under fire after it withdrew the name of its proposed candidate Nasir Khosa.

“How can a person run a country if he cannot give a name for the caretaker chief minister”.

The former journalist and author also denied an allegation levelled by PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry of having met Maryam Nawaz – daughter of Nawaz Sharif.

“The accusation of receiving money from Shehbaz is incorrect, I never met him or Maryam,” she said, threatening to take the accusers to court.

Reham also requested the Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar to take notice of the issue.

“I cannot understand why Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is apprehensive about my book,” she said in the interview.

Reham questioned allegations of writing the book on a hidden agenda.

Responding to PTI spokesman Chaudhry’s claims on Twitter that “the whole book [written by Reham] is an exercise to demolish only real opposition,” she said: “How will my book affect the outcome of elections.”
