With the Wikileaks site taken off-line and its founder Julian Assange getting deeper into problems, his supporters and empathisers are gearing up to garner some support for him. One of his prominent supporters, London-based socialite Jemima Khan, is rumoured to be seeking out support from Indian celebrities as well. Khan is also the former wife of former Pakistani captain Imran Khan.
“Jemima was one of the prominent celebrities attending the rally that was held in London on February 7. She, in fact, opened the speeches at the rally by saying that the (UK) government has cheated its citizens,” informs a source. It was apparently after this rally that Khan decided to get some support from India and Pakistan.
“Being married to Imranhelped Jemima make a lot of friends in India and Pakistan. She has made an appeal to everybody she knows to voice support for Julian. She has sent mails to her friends in the two countries to rally around her for support. The mails have been circulated amongst Bollywood celebrities and her London social circuit,” the source adds.
Khan has already enrolled as one of the founder members of Stop The War Coalition which has been formed to rally more support for Julian Assange.
“We have got to know that Jemima wants influential Indian actors like Amitabh Bachchan or Aamir Khan to join her.But it’s been kept a secret whether they have been contacted or not,” adds the source.
Though Khan couldn’t be contacted for a comment whether she is working towards getting some support from Bollywood, her friend in India confirmed that Jemima is “hopeful” that she’ll managed to get more people to join her in her struggle to get justice for Assange.
