Chandigarh, July 22

Pakistani Muslim League (Nawaz) vice-president Maryam Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s former wife Jemima Goldsmith were engaged in a Twitter battle.

The controversy started when Imran Khan took a shot at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif attending his grandson Junaid’s polo match in the UK while he was there in 2019 for medical treatment. 

Responding to Imran Khan’s remarks about her son, Maryam Sharif in a rally in PoK said that Khan’s children were being “raised in the lap of Jews”.

“My kids are “being raised in the lap of the Jews,” announced Maryam Sharif today.” She went on to add, “I left Pakistan in 2004 after a decade of anti-semitic attacks by the media and politicians (weekly death threats and protests outside my house). But still, it continues,” she tweeted.

In response, Maryam Nawaz Sharif said that she has no interest in her and that Jemima should blame her ex — a reference to Imran Khan. “I have absolutely no interest in you, your sons, or your personal lives because I have better things to do and say but if your ex drags in families of others out of spite, others will have nastier things to say. You have only your ex to blame.”
