Khawaja told The Express Tribune that no matter how many accusations are meted her way, as a strong and diligent woman she would work in politics to improve the country.

Khawaja said that the sole reason she came back from London in 2005 was her love for her country in the wake of a natural disaster.

I came here from #London in 2005 for the love of my country #Pakistan and it's people; and to serve it when facing a natural disaster. I joined #PTI in the same spirit, and that remains my mission today.

Reham had alleged in her new controversial book that Khawaja had an illicit affair with Imran, as well as, exerting enormous control over him.

Others can hurl as many vile allegations as they may do, but like all the brave, hardworking women who strive to serve in politics to better our beautiful country, I'll neither be deterred nor demoralised from carrying out the mission I am here to do.

According to the legal notice served to Reham, the journalist called Khawaja “chief of the harem” in the manuscript of her autobiography.

My parents and my family are proud of me for doing so. My party respects me and values my contribution. #PakistanZindabad !#MorePowerToOurWomen

Imran Ahsan Mirza | 6 years ago | Reply There is no categorical rejection of the allegation. She has dodged the question and skidded to other topics.

Muhammad | 6 years ago | Reply The personality of Imran Khan is fit for the Leader in the opposition, or Chairman NAB or the like. Given his character, definitely not fit for the PM slot. Such decisions are but made elsewhere and by others and not determined by the vote bank.
