The Islamabad High Court (IHC) gave another opportunity to former prime minister Imran Khan on Thursday to come up with his reply to a petition seeking his disqualification for not mentioning “his daughter Tyrian Jade White” in his nomination papers.
Here are 5 points to know about Imran Khan’s allegedly wedlock daughter from Sita White:
- The girl was allegedly born out of wedlock with Mr. Khan’s former lover Sita White, who took legal action against the former premier in the US, according to the news agency PTI.
- In 1997, a court in California passed a default judgment declaring Tyrian White as Mr. Khan’s daughter after he refused to take a DNA test.
- The former cricketer-turned-politician has failed to acknowledge Tyrian White as his daughter. She lives in London. In June, Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima shared her photo on Twitter on the occasion of Father’s Day.
- The complaint against Mr. Khan refers to an affidavit by him for the bypolls held in August 2022 for nine constituencies in the National Assembly. By not mentioning his daughter’s name, Mr. Khan did not act as “sagacious, righteous, honest and a man of good character in terms of Article 62 of the Constitution,” it said.
- The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief has only acknowledged Sulaiman, 26, and Qasim, 23, as his two sons. They were born to Mr. Khan from his marriage with Jemima Goldsmith in 1995.
