The visits, however, are kept private. </p><p class="">Escorted by his personal guards, Khan usually visits the town at night, pays homage to saint Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar by visiting his shrine and then stays for a few hours at the residence of his hosts who belong to influential Maneka clan with whom he is said to have a spiritual bond. </p><figure class="media one-half palm--one-whole media--right "> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224164249im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2017/08/5982d0f1e1c0b.jpg" alt="Imran Khan is seen at the shrine.— Photo by author"/></div> <figcaption class="media__caption ">Imran Khan is seen at the shrine.— Photo by author</figcaption> </figure> <p> </p><p class="">A source close to the Manekas told this correspondent that during these sojourns Khan Sahib also meets with his spiritual patron, Bushra Bibi, known as Ms Pinki in the area, whenever he finds himself in a difficult situation. </p><p class="">A respected Pir (faith healer) in Pakpattan, Ms Bushra, in her 40s, is the wife of Khawar Farid Maneka, a senior customs official in Islamabad. He is the son of Ghulam Farid Maneka, a seasoned politician and former federal minister. Ms Bushra is from the Wattoo clan, of which the Manekas are a sub-clan.</p><p class="">Imran Khan’s connection with the Manekas was confirmed by PTI leader Naeemul Haq last year when rumours were doing the rounds that the PTI chief had married a UK-based relative of the family on the advice of his Pir, Ms Bushra.</p><p class="">Haq had then denied reports about Khan’s third marriage but confirmed in his tweet that his leader had “spiritual relationship” with the Maneka family. </p><p class="">The source close to the family said Khan Sahib first visited Ms Bushra ahead of the NA-154 (Lodhran) by-poll in 2015 and was very pleased when Jahangir Tareen won the seat according to her prediction. Since then he has been visiting her regularly, the source adds. </p><p class="">Mumtaz Hayat Maneka, a young Aitchisonian from the Maneka clan, said the PTI leader had a lot of reverence for Pinki Bibi as a true follower. </p><p class="">PTI’s Pakpattan Information Secretary Azhar Mahmood Khan said Khan Sahib reached Khawar Farid Maneka’s house on Tuesday evening, stayed there for some hours, visited Baba’s shrine and returned to Islamabad. </p><p class="">The source said Khan was advised by his Pir to visit the shrine after Gulalai’s allegations. </p><p class="">Rao Naseem Hashim, PTI’s senior leader in Pakpattan, said on his personal social media account: “How a person (Imran Khan) can be accused of harassment who was sitting in the shrine of a Pir-i-Kamil with humbleness and respect.”</p><p class=""><em>Published in Dawn, August 3rd, 2017</em></p> </div> </div> <!-- ******** /template/main ******** --> <!-- ******** template/footer ******** --> <div class="template__footer clearfix modifier--open px-1"> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-11"> <div class="ml-0 ml-sm-6 px-0 px-sm-2"> <hr> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> <div class="mt-2 mt-sm-0 clearfix social-container"> <!-- box/social --> <div class="social social--icon social--black social--flat social--facebook social--count float-left mr-1 "> <a onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Share on Facebook', 'width=640, height=536')" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180224164249/https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1349312&amp;display=popup&amp;ref=plugin" target="_blank"><span style="clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);

Author has tried really hard to give an Impression that Imran Khan only visited this remote town to get rid of this scandal. The title says it all. I personally think this issue is brought up to defame Imran Khan. If she had solid evidence of her claim then should have filed an FIR against IK rather than holding a press conference. I have watched an interview of her yesterday, she was jump form one point to other point while defending her allegations and position. There was not a rational argument from her side. I agree there are many problems inside PTI and everybody wants high position. It is good time for Imran khan to think how he is going to manage this otherwise there will be a big problem.
