Several rumours floated around with regards to Imran Khan‘s third wedding. However, Imran decided to silence the rumours with a series of tweets on Tuesday. He not just agreed upon marrying a faith healer Bushra Maneka but also slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and founder of Geo TV, Mir Shakil Ur Rehman. They had claimed Imran spread the rumours about his third marriage intentionally to popularise his political party. Imran believes there is no crime in expressing desire to marry for the third time.
Imran also explained he sent the proposal to Bushra as he was concerned about his children and did not intend to reveal the matter to the public as she hailed from a conservative family.
Here are the series of tweets from Imran:
1. For 3 days I have been wondering have I looted a bank; or money laundered bns in nation’s wealth; or ordered a model-town-like killing spree; or revealed state secrets to India? I have done none of these but discovered I have committed a bigger crime: wanting to get married.

2. The vicious, gutter media campaign led by NS & MSR mafia does not bother me as respect & humiliation come from Allah Almighty.

3. However, my concern is for my children & the very conservative family of Bushra begum, all of whom have been subjected to this malicious campaign by NS & MSR.

4. NS & MSR can rest assured that their vicious campaign has only strengthened my resolve to fight them all the way.

5. I have known the Sharifs for 40 years and I know all their sordid personal lives but I would never stoop to the level of exposing these sordid details.

6. All I ask of my well wishers and supporters is that they pray I find personal happiness which, except for a few years, I have been deprived of.

Imran was previously married to Jemima Goldsmith and Associated Press (AP) journalist Reham Khan. Bushra is a divorcee. Imran has approached her earlier for spiritual healing.
