LAHORE – The former husband of Bushra Maneka, who is rumoured to be Imran Khan’s third wife, has reportedly alleged his married life was disturbed soon after the PTI chairman became her disciple.
“Our thirty-year long happy domestic life was disturbed after Imran became a spiritual disciple of my former wife,” the Geo News quoted Khawar Fareed Maneka as saying on Sunday.
However, within less than an hour, the news channel deleted all the tweets about Mr Maneka making such a claim.
The alleged statement follows a storm sparked by the reports of Imran Khan’s third marriage with Bushra Maneka, a faith healer from Punjab’s Pakpattan district.
The private TV channel also cited Mr Maneka setting the record straight about his separation from his ex-wife.
“There is no truth to the rumours of Bushra obtaining khula (a form of divorce initiated by the wife) from me,” Mr Maneka said, according to the Geo News.
Maneka also “clarified that he granted a divorce to his then-wife three months ago”, the channel claimed.
“Imran proposed to her as soon as her iddat (waiting) period was over.”

It all started after a report by The News claimed that Imran had secretly married his faith healer on January 1.
Earlier in the day, Khan’s party rebutted reports of Imran’s third marriage but said he has proposed marriage to a woman named Bushra Maneka. “To set the record straight, Mr Khan proposed marriage to Ms Bushra Maneka; but Ms Maneka asked for time to make a final decision after consulting her family, including her children,” the PTI said in a communiqué shared on Twitter.

“If and when the proposal is accepted by Ms Maneka for the marriage, Mr Khan will announce it publicly in the proper manner. Till then we request the media to give the two families, especially the children, their privacy,” the statement added.
The party also decided to take legal action against Geo News and its owner, Mir Shakeel-ur-Rehman.
