ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah said on Wednesday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chariman Imran Khan's alleged marriage to DawnNews anchor Reham Khan is his personal matter, adding that he should not be questioned on the subject.

Days after the British press broke the news of Imran Khan's alleged marriage to broadcast journalist Reham Khan, the former cricketer had hinted yesterday that an official announcement is in the offing."Marriage is not a crime,” Imran had said at a press conference in Islamabad after his return from London.

A report published in DailyMail had said that Imran Khan confirmed that he had secretly married former BBC weather girl Reham Khan days after his family said he had denied it.

Speaking to media representatives in Islamabad today, opposition leader Shah also said that Imran supported the establishment of military courts more than any other political leader.

The Parliament on Tuesday adopted the 21st Constitutional Amendment Bill and the Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill 2015 aimed to set up constitutionally protected military courts to try civilian terrorism suspects.

In response to a question, Shah said that parliamentarians from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would not table a resolution in the National Assembly over the non-participation of the PTI in Parliament sessions.

Shah said that he had asked the government to include another party for talks with the PTI, adding that the PPP would nominate one of its candidates for the dialogue process. This, he said, would clarify as to who is sincere when it comes to holding negotiations.
