Reham Khan’s book about Pakistan’s PM-in-waiting has a lot of explosive revelations, some bordering on ludicrous. None of them come close to this one about Reham ‘finding’ her husband doing something with kaali daal.

Trust us, if you love your makhni, you ought to not read beyond this level. However, if you’ve the stomach for it, here’s what Reham wrote: “On a day in November, I’d walk into the bedroom to find my new husband lying naked on a white sheet, rubbing kaali daal (black lentils) all over himself. He laughed in embarrassment as he rubbed them on his genitalia. He then stood up and shook the lentils onto the sheet for Anwarzeb, the home help, to take away. I stood there in shock. Imran explained that Ahad, his brother-in-law, had brought a man with him who had recommended the treatment because he believed someone had done some black magic on Imran.”
She had also told WION that Imran Khan had ‘alienated’ all three of his voter-bases. She had said: “In politics, you must never forget that everything is analysed. Those who are looking to seek power must make wise judgements. In Pakistan, there are three kinds of vote-banks — the right wing vote-bank hasn't liked it; liberals don't like it. And obviously, if you call liberals 'the scum of the country', they will not like it. Moderates, they see this as a non-serious approach and they are very nervous of a man who takes his guidance based on the advice of a soothsayer.So he (Imran), has alienated three vote-banks with this political misadventure.”

Reacting, his former spouse Jemima Goldsmith wrote; “I remember IK’s 1st election in 1997- untested, idealistic & politically naive. I waited up for the call in LHR with 3 mo old Sulaiman, who I had lugged around the country. Eventually he called. “It’s a clean sweep" & after my gasp, “… the other way.” He roared with laughter.”

becoming the single largest party in the country's general elections by leading on 120 seats in an early count of votes even as rival political parties alleged rigging.

While final results are expected in the coming hours, initial outcomes show that the PTI would emerge as the single largest party in the National Assembly. In several cities, PTI supporters rejoiced by waving flags and raising party slogans as results trickled in after the voting on Wednesday.


The 65-year-old former cricketer's PTI was ahead in 120 of 272 contested National Assembly constituencies, while its main rival Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was way behind with 61 seats. The Pakistan People's Party was leading on 40 seats.
