Imran Khan expressed his disgust over harsh criticism against Reham Khan by the party workers after the election loss.

He added that she will not run elections on PTI ticket.

“Already has too much on her plate, especially working with street children”, he said she will not attend any PTI function or event. We wanted to challenge the fear factor & get women voters out to vote.

About his sons, the post read, “Some late summer holiday time for the Khan’s; A pleasant surprise for all the well wishers of the family to see Chairman Imran Khan with his boys; Suleiman and Qasim. He pursues it via a political party and I work voluntarily for educating our children”, Reham tweeted.
