Reham Khan bashes Hamza Ali Abbasi for tweeting against her upcoming book

Reham Khan bashes Hamza Ali Abbasi for tweeting against her upcoming book

She says he could only have obtained her manuscript through theft or fraud and that he's been bullying her for a year
Updated 02 Jun, 2018

TV host/actor/full-time PTI loyalist Hamza Ali Abbasi surprised Twitter last night when he claimed that he has read the manuscript of Reham Khan's upcoming book.

He described the book in some unflattering terms. No surprises there.

But how did he get his hands on the manuscript? That's what Reham Khan would like to know:

Reham has earlier said about her book that it is mainly about her life as a journalist and mother, but mentioned that PTI chief Imran Khan features in it because he was once a part of her life, "albeit an unpleasant one".

Hamza's tweet unleashed trolls in full force, who accused Reham for furthering the agenda of PTI rival PML-N. But Reham says that she's used to these bullying tactics:

As proof, she even published an alleged email conversation between her and Hamza in which he informs her of PTI's possession of her emails:

Hamza retaliated with what he says is a hacked email exchange between Reham and Interior Minister and PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal:

Whatever the truth behind the matter is, it's been great publicity for Reham's book!

@Irfan Why doesn't she publish it ? Why does she want to publish it on the eve of elections? Isn't there a deliberate plot to malign IK ?

We the public want to know everything, good or bad, about Imran Khan and his party before elections. All voters are of mature age and deserve the right to make their own judgement before casting their votes. They can easily sift through the whole juggernaut of write and wrong and arrive at their decisions, without guidance by the likes of Abbasi & co.

Shows a typical PTI worker's behavior. Threat people if they say anything against their leader. Reminds me of old MQM's culture.

@Irfan She is a strong lady. she has spent ample time in UK so don't say a divorce will wreck havoc on here. and if she is disturbed by divorce(which is Normal and natural) and so does Imran. Don't try to demean her just because she is a women.

Interestingly Reham has hidden her email and not of Hamza. lets assume Hamza was right about here email then most probably it would have same email id. So in case something comes out she can simply deny that

if hamza did this, she should file a proper criminal complaint and than its the duty of law enforcement to investigate the whole thing and than do what is needed. thats all. When the book comes out in the market if IK thinks its just not true he can do the same thing against reham.

It was the darkest day in Imran Khan and PTI's political history when he decided to marry Reham Khan. This was bound to happen. Surprisingly she waited till elections to release her book. This says a lot about her intentions. Now PTI has to wait for the outcome of the second darkest day when Aamir Liaquat joined PTI. Now wait for the second surprise.

It is sad and pathetic to see people washing out their dirty linen in public. Events connected to one’s personal & private life must not be discussed so ballantly and in threadbare details in media, which is beside being disgusting but is revolting too. One feel further degraded to see such exposition coming out after a considerable lapse of time, precisely engineered to be read by everybody during elections. A marriage by all means is a social contract & if it does not work out to the expectation of either party, sanity demands to get out of it as soon as possible. In this case this is what precisely happened. To bring out Skeltons from one’s closet for any rhyme or reason, is an excercise completely in bad taste and one must refrain from it. The rabbit is out of the hat already, & one can feel sorry for this event to be thrashed out for its motive when it is to be used by a rival political party to carry out character assination of the other becoming relevant incoming elections.

Ms Khan claims that her book is about her life as a journalist and mother, and there is reference to her short lived marriage to Imran Khan ' albeit unpleasant'. It would be interesting to note how many people buy her book to read up on her high powered career as a bbc weathergirl, or her indepth and sharp interview skills on the many current affair shows she has hosted! Truth be known, Ms Khan is going to sell her book soley on her 10 month marriage to IK. The timing, and content designed to try and damage his reputation. Well Ms Khan, you should credit the pakistan public with a bit more intelligence. I forsee extracts of the book being published by a uk tabloid.

In any conflict the truth is always the first casualty. IK has behaved in a dignified manner since divorcing her. Since his divorce it has become apparent that he probably made the right decision. Reham Khan has many objectives in her life and is hell bent in achieving them through any means necessary. In contrast Jemima Khan has behaved in an impressive and impeccable manner after her divorce. Both parties should behave in a dignified way after their divorce. Perhaps some people like Reham Khan find it hard to do that; who was completely unknown until she married IK . People have devious agendas and want to fulfill them by any means necessary but hate others exposing their modus operandi!

Hamza Ali Abassi is blackmailing her. It's exactly the sort of vicious tactic PTI accuses its political opponents of using. Now let's see how the top brass deals with this issue. Even IF - a big if - Reham's book indeed has any false allegations, they can point out specific issues with the content and rail against her all they want but threatening to blackmail her is disgusting.

It's a trend to accuse any one any time on social media without giving any evidence. Just like Ms. gulalai , yet didn't hear anything about her filling any complaint against IK.. If there are proofs then she should file complaint without playing. I would say there should be something behind why she(RK) is publishing her book on such crucial moments.
