In a shocking interview, Khawar Maneka, the ex-husband of Bushra Bibi, current wife of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, accused Khan of ruining his 28-year-long marriage under the guise of "peer-muridi," a relationship between a spiritual mentor and follower. Maneka claimed that Khan would visit their house without his consent and was upset about Bushra's interactions with the PTI chief. He even recalled an incident where he asked Khan to leave his house with the help of his aides.

Maneka revealed that Bushra was introduced to Khan by her sister during a protest in Islamabad, and they started meeting frequently. He alleged that Bushra would often chat with Khan secretly using a phone number given to her by a friend at Khan's request. Regarding their divorce, Maneka said that Bushra separated from him six months before her wedding with Khan. Despite his efforts to reconcile, she refused to come back. Maneka claimed that he received a text message from a friend asking him to divorce Bushra, and he sent the divorce papers to her in November 2017.

Just two months later, Khan married Bushra. Maneka's revelations lend credence to the allegations that Khan and Bushra's marriage occurred before the completion of Iddat, a mandatory period of isolation for a divorced woman in Islam. He stated that their divorce was finalized one-and-a-half months before their reported marriage, which was subsequently hidden from the public. The interview exposed the secret meetings and late-night calls between Khan and Bushra, initiated with the help of Bushra's sister. Maneka also claimed that Khan would frequently visit their home without permission, causing turmoil in their household. This explosive interview raises questions about the impact of Khan's spiritual pursuits on his personal life and reignites controversies surrounding his marriages.
