PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's former wife Jemima Goldsmith have engaged in a bitter Twitter battle over Maryam's antisemitic attack on Imran Khan's children. Maryam Sharif has recently targeted Imran Khan's kids "being raised in the lap of the Jews" referring to the PM's former wife Jemima Goldsmith.
Reacting to the attack, Jemima took to Twitter and wrote that this was the reason she had left Pakistan in 2004. "I left Pakistan in 2004 after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media & politicians (& weekly death threats & protests outside my house). But still it continues," Jemima wrote on Twitter.

Maryam Nawaz Sharif replied to her and said she can only blame her ex, referring to Imran Khan. "I have absolutely no interest in you, your sons or your personal lives because I have better things to do and say but if your ex drags in families of others out of spite, others will have nastier things to say. You have only your ex to blame."

"You need a lot of money to keep a horse and play polo. So tell us where this dear grandson got this money from. It's your [the people's] money!" Imran Khan said, as quoted by the Dawn.
"I didn’t want to bring children into it, but the way you’re talking, you’re going to get a befitting reply..He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, not Goldsmith’s. He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, he’s not being raised in the lap of Jews," Maryam Nawaz said in reply.
