LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has finally broken his silence on the marriage controversy in a series of tweets.
Criticising the “malicious campaign”, Imran wrote on his Twitter: “For 3 days I have been wondering have I looted a bank; or money laundered bns in nation’s wealth; or ordered a model-town-like killing spree; or revealed state secrets to India? I have done none of these but discovered I have committed a bigger crime: wanting to get married.”
1. For 3 days I have been wondering have I looted a bank; or money laundered bns in nation's wealth; or ordered a model-town-like killing spree; or revealed state secrets to India? I have done none of these but discovered I have committed a bigger crime: wanting to get married.
