Who are Kasim and Sulaiman? Speculation about former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s health has intensified as his family has not met or spoken to him for two months. His sisters have repeatedly voiced concerns about an alleged assassination plot inside the jail. Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s sons, Kasim and Sulaiman, have made headlines by demanding proof that he is alive in custody. They fear he may be held in a death cell where, they claim, prison authorities could harm him.
Kasim and Sulaiman often remained out of the limelight. They stay with their mother, Imran Khan's ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith, in the UK. Suddenly, they were forced to come up with the statements due to the uncertainty surrounding their father. Rumours swirling around his health and survival made them come out of their private life.

Who are Kasim and Sulaiman
Kasim and Sulaiman have requested the Pakistan government to allow them to meet their father, but their request has been halted with officials saying their NICOPs, identity cards for overseas Pakistanis, have expired. However, critics argue that the delay is politically motivated, intended to restrict global scrutiny.

Both sons are born and raised in London. Various reports suggest that, they are British citizens through their mother, Jemima Goldsmith. Despite holding Pakistani ties, questions persist in media circles about the legal basis for their NICOP(National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) applications.
Who is Richer- Imran Khan or his sons?
What surprises many Pakistanis is that Imran’s sons are, in fact, wealthier than their father. Many reports suggest that after the death of their maternal grandfather, the billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, both brothers inherited a sizeable trust fund. This wealth, more than Pakistan’s political world, is what truly defines their lifestyle in the UK.
Kasim Khan
Kasim was born on April 10, 1999. He studied Islamic history at the University of Bristol. After that, he started his own digital platform. Recently, he has been more outspoken about politics than his brother. He has used PR campaigns and social media posts to talk about what he describes as his father’s “unlawful isolation."
Sulaiman Isa Khan
Sulaiman is older by a few years. He grew up in London, attended school in Birmingham, and once campaigned for his maternal uncle Jack Goldsmith during a mayoral race, managing the youth wing of his campaign. Tall, fair-skinned and soft-spoken, Sulaiman avoids direct political engagement but is a familiar face in PTI circles from the days when his father was prime minister.
