Jemima lashes out at PML-N for announcing protest outside her elderly mother’s residence

What has my Mum got to do with Pakistani politics? says PTI Chairman Imran Khan's ex-wife on her Twitter handle

Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-wife of former prime minister Imran Khan, has lashed out at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) over its announcement to stage a protest outside the residence of her elderly mother in Surrey.

“What the hell is wrong with these people [PML-N]? Another mass demonstration announced outside my 88 year old mother’s house this weekend. This is the third time!,” she wrote on her official Twitter handle on Thursday.

What the hell is wrong with these people @pmln_org ? Another mass demonstration announced outside my 88 year old mother’s house this weekend. This is the third time! What has my Mum got to do with Pakistani politics? It’s disruptive for her & a total waste of police time.

She called out the ruling party members for dragging her mother into political affairs saying: “What has my Mum got to do with Pakistani politics? It’s disruptive for her & a total waste of police time.”

Following the ouster of former PM Imran’s government in April this year, PML-N supporters held protests outside the residence of his ex-wife’s mother in Surrey, in response to PTI’s demonstrations outside the residence of former PM Nawaz Sharif in London.

A video shared by Jemima on Twitter showed a man threatening to break into the bedrooms of her house if the PTI supporters did not stop holding protests outside the homes of PML-N supremo Nawaz.

Jemima had stated that her children were being targeted by protesters and that she was facing antisemitic abuse on social media.

“It's 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).

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.
