LONDON – Jemima Goldsmith, former wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, has said that Pakistan’s government caved in to extremist demands to bar Asia Bibi from leaving the country.
Jemima took to Twitter saying, “Not the Naya Pakistan we’d hoped for. 3 days after a defiant & brave speech defending the judiciary, Pakistan’s gov caves in to extremist demands to bar #AsiaBibi from leaving Pak, after she was acquitted of blasphemy- effectively signing her death warrant.”

She went on to say, “Still hoping there’s some plan afoot which we don’t know about.”
Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) wound up sit-ins and protest after reaching an agreement with the government on the matter of Asia Bibi blasphemy case.

Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier advised the groups protesting the Supreme Court’s verdict on Asia Bibi to call off their protests or the state will establish its writ.

Addressing the nation through a video message on Wednesday, the premier lamented that a small section took the streets after the verdict and used foul language and incited general public to revolt against the army chief and judges.
“The despicable language used by a small section of the society against the army, judiciary and the government is deplorable. Such language is used by enemies of the state,” Khan said in his address.
