The parody account of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s wife had followed by more than 39,000 Twitter users.
The tweeters, using the hashtag, took Twitter and the PTI followers to task with their posts.
That was one of the best parody accounts. It is such a shame Reham Khan doesn’t seem to have a sense of humour. #JusticeForParodyReham

Sumaiya Somi bashed the PTI supporters for the account suspension by dedicating a poetry to them while some stated that the account was ‘better’ than Reham Khan’s original one.

Some Twitter users said that the account suspension was against democracy and freedom of speech while other said that the website violated its own policies.
Hey @twitter this is not freedom of speech #JusticeForParodyReham
