'He is really failing miserably at that.' 'He has a huge responsibility to end these attitudes.He had this responsibility before he was prime minister, and even more so now he is prime minister.
'It's the responsibility to men to be a role model, and to tell young men, particularly in India and Pakistan, that this is not acceptable. 'His hairstyle is copied, the way he speaks is copied, everything he says. Speaking about the damage Imran's comments could cause in Pakistan, Ms Khan said he has a 'responsibility' to set a better example. It's just disrespectful to the women in his life.' 'The woman he is married to now went through divorce in order to get married to him. he is twice divorced himself, the mother of his children is a westernised English lady. 'For him to say that divorce is a problem in the West. 'What I found most upsetting is that he's equating divorce with rape and with not covering up. 'The hypocrisy of it is unforgivable,' she added. She said he made similar comments during their marriage and has given speeches since espousing the same ideas, seemingly without any sense of irony given his past. 'I was shocked, thought he was just clueless and ill-informed.' 'I explained to him, I gave a little bit of detail, and he turns around and says: 'This is all because of Bollywood you know.' 'I looked from him to his chief of staff, I felt awkward that I would be explaining to him. Ms Khan said she mentioned the notorious New Delhi bus rape which happened in neighbouring India not long before, but Imran had no idea about it. Recalling her first meeting with Khan, who was then in political opposition, she said the two had discussed women's issues as something she was passionate about Ms Khan - whose short marriage to Imran crumbled under pressure from family in-fighting, media attacks and her own political ambitions - said the remarks infuriated her but did not come as a surprise. He then praised the Islamic concept of purdah - or modesty - as an antidote to that decline, saying it is important to 'keep temptation in check'. Khan caused fury at the weekend when he suggested during a Q&A session that 'vulgarity' was to blame for rising sexual violence, singling out Bollywood, Hollywood, divorce, and the 'sex, drugs and rock and roll' culture of England in the 70s as examples of moral decline. Reham Khan, the second ex-wife of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran, joined criticism of his remarks on rape today - saying 'the less he speaks the better it will be' She spoke out after Jemima Goldsmith, who was also married to Khan from 1995 until 2004 and has two children with him, tweeted out a passage from the Koran as a rebuke, adding: 'The onus is on men.' Ms Khan also accused her ex-husband of 'using religion, particularly Islam' to secure votes in conservative Pakistan while attacking things such as divorce - despite being twice divorced himself. There need to be lessons given to the Prime Minister.' He should apologise and seek some sort of training. 'If you're in the public domain and you say something like this, it is rape apology, and that is unacceptable,' she said. She went on to dismiss claims from his office that his words were 'misconstrued', saying the remarks are 'nothing new' and that he should publicly apologise for them.
The former BBC presenter - who was keen to point out that Khan is her family name and she did not take her husband's name when they married - also accused her ex-husband of 'failing miserably' in his duty to set a role model for men.
Ms Khan, who was married to the cricketing playboy-turned Pakistani leader between October 2014 and October 2015, told MailOnline that her ex was 'clueless' about women's issues when she met him and described him as a 'hypocrite'. Reham Khan, the second wife of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, has branded him a 'rape apologist' as she lashed out at him for suggesting the way women dress is responsible for rape.
