LONDON
Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith has appeared to be pleased with Pakistan Supreme Court’s verdict disqualifying her former husband’s rival Nawaz Sharif as prime minister.
In a series of tweets, Jemima said no civilian Pakistani PM has ever completed its five-year term, but she adds: “InshaAllah the next one will.”
Rephrasing a popular political slogan used by the opposition in Pakistan ‘Go Nawaz Go’, she called it ‘Gone Nawaz Gone’ – indicating expulsion of sitting PM after court orders.
A five-judge Supreme Court bench has disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a unanimous verdict in the Panamagate case, thus cutting short his third stint in power.
Soon after the SC judgement, the PM House issued a terse statement saying that Nawaz Sharif, despite having reservations on the SC’s verdict, has stepped down from his post as the premier.
What is her role in Pakistani politics?
Being an ex-wife is good enough in a region where even concubines wield great power.
INSHALLAH
