Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-wife of the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, lashed back at the PML-N on Friday after the party made an announcement to conduct a protest outside her London home following the PTI government’s ouster.
Earlier on Thursday, the PMLN leader Abid Sher Ali had tweeted that a protest would be staged outside Jemima’s London residence.
He had also shared an image bearing her full address and used derogatory language against the former PM.
“Protests outside my house, targeting my children, anti-Semitic abuse on social media … It’s almost like I’m back in 90s Lahore,” Jemima said in response to Ali.
She also Tweeted the hashtag #PuranaPakistan (old Pakistan).
“He (Imran) has ordered attacks and protests outside [the] homes of his political opponents. He incites hate, homophobia and terrorism on [a] daily basis,” Ali replied to her, mentioning that the former premier is the one to be blamed for the protest.
The PML-N leader added that the protest would be “peaceful and non-violent”.
Hamid Mir’s involvement:
Journalist Hamid Mir also got involved, with words of advice for both the PTI and the PML-N.
“PTI must stop protesting outside the house of (Nawaz Sharif) in London and PML-N should not do the same outside the house of (Jemima). Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones on others,” Mir said.
However, Jemima was not here for the journalist’s reasoning and made clear that she and her children were not involved in Pakistani politics.
