Imran was fast bowler, Bhabi turns out to be 'spin expert': Pervez Rashid

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information, Pervez Rashid on Wednesday said ‘brother’ Imran Khan was a fast bowler while ‘Bhabi’ (sister in law) turned out to be a ‘spin expert’.

The Information Minister expressed these views while commenting on the issue of Reham Khan’s degree about which questions were raised by a British newspaper.

Calling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s wife his ‘Bhabi’, he said: “Bhabi is not only expert at throwing a Googly, she also proved herself a master in doing a ‘Doosra’.”

A report carried by British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’ today, raised questions over the academic credentials of Reham Khan.

According to Reham Khan’s personal website she did a four week placement with the BBC after starting a 'postgraduate course in Broadcast Journalism at North Lindsay College' in Lincolnshire.

When the paper contacted officials at North Lindsey they said such a course was never offered and the college does not teach journalism at all. There was also no record of anyone with Rehman Khan’s name or age having enrolled at the college.

The article was written by Sebastian Shakespeare, the same reporter who disclosed in January that Reham had married PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

Rehamd Khan said: “There should no need to clarify. However I need to put the issue at rest. I categorically state that after completing my BA I undertook a one year postgraduate for a Diploma in Broadcast Media at Grimsby Institute Media Centre. (Code:0506BC34) which ended on 23rd June 2006.”
