New Delhi, Feb 6: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s former wife Reham Khan reportedly left Pakistan, citing threats to her life, on Sunday. Talking to Pakistan’s Geo News channel, Reham alleged that she had been receiving threats through phone calls made to her staff and decided to leave Pakistan.

“My staff was receiving threats since last September but now these have increased, so I’ve decided to leave Pakistan,” Reham told Geo News. She also shared an audio clip in which the coordinator of Reham Khan Foundation informs her how he was  threatened to not coordinate her interviews and events.

She claimed that she had to pull her daughter out of school due to the threats and it had left her extremely distressed. She also alleged that no political party in Pakistan was ready to help or support her. She added that she had been receiving threats since September 2017 but the frequency of such calls had increased in the last few weeks, forcing her to leave Pakistan.

According to Reham, several former Pakistani cricketers, too, had called her asking her to forget Imran Khan and not oppose him. But there is no confirmation if Reham had filed any police complaint. She, however, told Geo News that she neither needed anyone to stand by her nor was she afraid of the threats.

The Ministry of National Health Service said that 68 patients died in the last 24 hours, taking the death toll to 1,838, whereas another 31,198 people have recovered.

It was the third consecutive day when a record number of cases were reported in Pakistan after the Eid holidays and easing of lockdown restrictions at the end of May.

The authorities have conducted 638,323 tests, including a record 22,812 tests in the last 24 hours, the ministry said.

Despite the spike in number of COVID-19 cases, both houses of parliament are scheduled to meet separately on Friday. The Senate session started this morning while the National Assembly will be held in the afternoon, Radio Pakistan reported.

Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani and Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser at a meeting at the parliament house in Islamabad reviewed arrangements made for the two sessions.

Fumigation was also carried out in the parliament house for the safety of the lawmakers and staff.

Earlier, the Opposition rejected the idea of virtual meetings and insisted that the sessions be held in person, noting that it was an important session of parliament because the budget is expected to be presented in the National Assembly in the next week.

The novel coronavirus which first originated from China's Wuhan city in December last year has claimed 391,249 lives and has infected over 6 million people globally, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
