Mian Khawar Fareed Maneka is a government official who belongs from a politically influential family. In this brief profile we will discuss his personal & political life.
He is the son of former Federal Minister Mr. Ghulam Muhammad Maneka who is known in Pakpattan because of his political career, but unlike his other family members he is known because of his spirituality.
He became known in Pakistani media because of the scandal surrounding Imran Khan’s third marriage with Bushra Maneka, the ex-wife of Mian Khawar.
Khawar Fareed is a BPS-21 government officer who has served as Assistant Collector, Deputy Collector, and additional collector during his tenure in customs. Bushra and Khawar Fareed were married for 30 years and spent a happy married life during which they had 3 daughters & two sons.
Imran Khan came into contact with Mian Khawar Fareed & his wife Bushra Maneka for spiritual matters for which he visited the city of Pakpattan thrice. It is said that Imran Khan took all important decisions after discussions with his spiritual mentor.
The news of Imran Khan’s alleged third marriage went viral on social media where people started discussing not only about Imran Khan but also about Bushra Maneka and her ex-husband Mian Khawar Maneka and the reasons of their divorce.
Mian Khawar is known because of his spirituality and is famously known as ‘Pir Nawab’ to whom many people refer for their spiritual needs and problems. It was the same reason for which PTI chairman contacted the family and met them on several occasions.
Some news channels falsely reported that the differences between the couple started after their interaction with Imran Khan which later resulted in divorce. This forced Mian Khawar to came forward and refute these false allegations.
In a video message he defended his ex-wife and Imran Khan and denied these false rumours which were being spread by mainstream media and newspapers. PTI representatives also denied the rumours and the marriage but later accepted in a Press release that marriage proposal was sent by Imran Khan to Bushra Maneka.
Later on 18 February 2018 the party spokesperson revealed that Imran Khan and Bushara Bibi had married in a small and simple ceremony.
