Imran Khan’s oath taking ceremony finally took place yesterday and oh boy, what a thrill it was. The efforts and fights of Khan for 22 years became real and Pakistanis, especially those who voted for him, couldn’t have been happier.
From his former teammates to his friends from across the border, Imran Khan’s oath ceremony was graced with such love. While everyone was over the moon to see their leader finally get the PM-ship, criticism was also extremely high.
From mocking Bushra Bibi’s attire to making fun of the fumbles Khan made during his oath-taking in khaalis Urdu, the mood was ruined and well, let’s just leave that.
Among a few things people were talking about or just asking, the absence of Khan’s sons’ was mentioned as well. Khan has two sons and both of them leave in UK with their mother Jemima Goldsmith. Pretty often, we see them Khan; it is either them in Pakistan or Khan with them in UK.
However, At the Oath Ceremony, His Sons Did Not Come
Not interested which friends of IK are coming to the oath taking ceremony,Jemima and his kids are more important. Hoping to see them there for sure!!She deserves this respect & more!! @PTIofficial @ImranKhanPTI @fawadchaudhry @naeemul_haque @JahangirKTareen @Jemima_Khan

But Reminders of their Involvement Were Shared
And a huge congratulations to Jemima, Sulieman and Qasim.
Jemima was with Imran when he started his political journey, so a big thank-you to her.
May the sons be proud of their father's work as the prime minister of a country that needs lots of dedication and work. @Jemima_Khan— Mehr Tarar (@MehrTarar) August 17, 2018
But People Still Felt Confused On How No Family Member Came to the Ceremony
Bushra bibi, Imran Khan's sisters, his sons. No one from his family is here. It is confusing tbh

Imran Khan's own sons are not at the ceremony. There is no big conspiracy in play here, Amir, many people have not been invited. https://t.co/uTllx3o2Lp

@Jemima_Khan this would be the biggest and happiest day in Imran Khan's life and political struggle… And it would be so hurting for him if his sons won't be with him… We Pakistanis request you for this happiness of our leader plz #PrimeMinister

And Then Jemima Stepped Forward to Clear All the Confusions!
In three tweets, the former wife of Imran Khan shared that the father did not allow his sons to attend the oath ceremony.
Thanks. The boys are very sad not to be there but IK was adamant that they should not come.
— Jemima Goldsmith (@Jemima_Khan) August 17, 2018
Thank you so much. The boys really wanted to be there but their father told them not to come.

They wanted to be there. Their father asked them not to come. ??♀️

Well, given how Imran Khan’s personal life is always subjected to some controversy, it might have been the same thing to do. Neither his sons nor the family of Bushra Bibi was seen attending the oath, so that seems well-balanced to avoid any drama.
Let’s see how the first 100 days of Naya Pakistan go!
