ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan finally broke his silence on his marriage controversy in a series of tweets on Tuesday. 

"For 3 days I have been wondering have I looted a bank; or money laundered bns in nation's wealth; or ordered a model-town-like killing spree; or revealed state secrets to India? I have done none of these but discovered I have committed a bigger crime: wanting to get married," wrote the PTI chief in the first of six tweets on the subject. 

Imran Khan has proposed marriage to Bushra Maneka: PTI

PTI rebuts reports of party chief Imran Khan's third marriage, says he has proposed marriage to a woman named Bushra Maneka

The News reported on Saturday that Imran has secretly married on January 1 ? for the third time ? a woman he used to visit for spiritual guidance.

The PTI on Sunday rebutted the reports but said he has only proposed marriage to Bushra Maneka, a spiritual leader based in Punjab. 

Criticising the "malicious campaign", Imran expressed concern for his children and the "very conservative" family of Bushra. 

The PTI chief also vowed to never go down to the level of exposing the sordid details of the Sharifs' personal lives, which he claimed to know the details of. 

In the end, the PTI chairman pleaded his supporters and well-wishers to pray that he [Imran] finds "personal happiness" which, "except for a few years", he has been deprived of.
