A crowd of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's supporters held a protest outside the residence of former prime minister Imran Khan's ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith's 88-year-old mother in Surrey.
A video shared by Jemima on Twitter showed a man threatening to break into the bedrooms of former prime minister's family members if the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s supporters did not stop holding protests outside the homes of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo and his children.
The screenwriter further asked the British police if such threats were legal.
This is a video of hundreds of men protesting for hours outside my 88 yr old mother’s house in Surrey yesterday.

The man with the tannoy is threatening -
“If Jemima and her children don’t come down here, then we will enter her bedroom.”@metpoliceuk is this legal? https://t.co/0aNE7J0Hmx
Last week, Jemima stated that there were protests outside her house, that her children were being targeted and that she was facing antisemitic abuse on social media.
“Its almost like I’m back in 90’s Lahore,” she wrote, tagging the tweet with the hashtag purana Pakistan (old Pakistan), which was the opposition’s slogan in contrast to Imran’s promise of building a Naya Pakistan (new Pakistan).

Jemima further maintained that it was “surely not legal” that her home address was shared on social media, especially as she was currently dealing with “stalkers”.
And posting a private home address on social media is surely not legal? https://t.co/IcNVTymFdk

Imran was married to Jemima from 1995 to 2004 and together they have two children, Kasim and Sulaiman. Jemima moved to London after her divorce from the ex-premier where she has been living with her sons ever since.
Jemima, daughter of billionaire James Goldsmith, converted to Islam for her marriage to Imran Khan but “was constantly attacked as an insincere Muslim, part because of her Jewish grandfather,” according to a 2004 account in The Guardian.
