Twitter reacts as Reham Khan leaves country amidst threats

Ex-wife of PTI chief told a private news outlet that she had been receiving threats through phone calls

Reham Khan, former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, has reportedly left the country after ‘receiving threats’, a day after the anchor-turned-politician said she would finally break her silence on ‘certain matters’.

According to a private news channel, she had confirmed that she had flown on Sunday evening. Reham told the news outlet that she had been receiving threats through phone calls that were made to her staff.



As always, Pakistan's netizens had their own opinions on the matter.

Some resorted to alleging she was a RAW agent

Although I think trashing your ex and that too unprovoked is kinda odd, but what I find even weirder is talking to an Indian channel about your ex who's a PM aspirant.

No idea what Reham Khan hopes to achieve here.

While others voiced concern for the 'toxic environment against her'

Sad and shocked to find out that @RehamKhan1 had to leave the country in an environment of intimidation and harassment. Shame on those responsible for creating toxic environment against her.

The vicious attack against Reham Khan especially her past which she owns very boldly unlike someone who hasn’t been able to own his daughter.

Sad to learn that @RehamKhan1 had to leave the country because of threats to her life. But I'm glad she's gone before any harm came to her. The attacks on her on social media are disgusting and dangerous.

Many defended the PTI chief

Reham Khan! My leader will not respond to your malicious & frustrated rantings because he respects women. If I were to open my mouth abt your antics & your misdeeds, you will have nowhere to hide.

However, Reham slammed the haters with a perfect tweet!

Decide ker lein kis kee agent hai...koi country chori nahi inhon ney.
I should ask for outstanding salaries. Patriotism ka reward tu sirf galiyan. Thank you
