48% of Pakistan below the poverty line; yet borders remain “secure.” When elite capture drives the state, securitization follows extraction. Secure borders, vulnerable people. The math of hard security never adds up for those at the bottom. #Governance

دعویٰ یہ ہے کہ خیبر پختونخوا میں کچھ نہیں ہوا اور پنجاب ترقی کی نئی منزلیں طے کر رہا ہے۔ جبکہ پچھلے دس سال کے اعداد و شمار بتا رہے ہیں کہ خیبر پختونخوا کی اوسط جی ڈی پی گروتھ 4.6 فیصد اور پنجاب کی صرف 3.0 فیصد رہی ہے۔ شوبازی اور کیمروں کی نمائش کو ترقی کا نام دینا ایک بات ہے اور زمینی حقائق کا سامنا کرنا دوسری بات۔
مزاکراتی کمیٹی کو میرا بھیجا گیا ڈرافٹ یہ ہے جسے میں اپنی قوم کے سامنے رکھ رہا ہوں۔ پوری قوم کو یہ علم ہونا چاہئیے کہ ان میں سے ایک ڈیمانڈ بھی غیر آئینی و قانونی نہیں ہے۔ ہمیں دوسرے درجے کا شہری سمجھا جا رہا ہے۔ ہمارے ساتھ ریاست ہر قابض لوگ سوتیلی ماں جیسا سلوک کر رہی ہے۔ یہ ہمارے ڈیمانڈز تھے، ہیں اور رہیں گے۔
ملک میں سیاسی استحکام، آئین و قانون کی بالادستی، جمہوری عمل کے تسلسل، قومی یکجہتی، امن و امان کے قیام اور تمام سیاسی و قومی معاملات کو باہمی مشاورت اور مذاکرات کے ذریعے حل کرنے کے لیے درج ذیل امور پر اتفاقِ رائے کیا جائے گا:
1۔وزیرِ اعظم پاکستان اور دونوں ایوانوں میں قائدینِ حزبِ اختلاف کے درمیان باقاعدہ ملاقات کا اہتمام کیا جائے گا، جس میں ملک کو درپیش تمام اہم سیاسی، قومی، آئینی، قانونی اور جمہوری معاملات، بالخصوص زیرِ التوا امور، پر تفصیلی تبادلۂ خیال کیا جائے گا۔
فریقین اس امر کے پابند ہوں گے کہ باہمی مشاورت اور مذاکرات کے ذریعے مذکورہ امور کے حل کے لیے دو ماہ کے اندر مؤثر اور قابلِ عمل پیش رفت یقینی بنائی جائے۔
2۔وزیرِ اعظم پاکستان حکومتی اتحاد، پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی اور اپوزیشن جماعتوں کے نمائندگان پر مشتمل ایک مشترکہ سیاسی مذاکراتی کمیٹی تشکیل دیں گے۔
یہ کمیٹی اپوزیشن کے ساتھ قومی و سیاسی معاملات، باہمی اختلافات اور دیگر اہم امور پر مسلسل مذاکرات کرے گی اور باہمی اتفاقِ رائے سے قابلِ عمل حل تلاش کرے گی۔ جمہوریت، سیاست، عدالت اور صحافت کی مکمل آزادی ہوگی۔
کمیٹی اپنے قیام کے بعد ایک ماہ کے اندر مذاکرات اور حل کے حوالے سے قابلِ ذکر پیش رفت یقینی بنائے گی اور اپنی سفارشات متعلقہ قیادت کے سامنے پیش کرے گی۔
3۔ جیل مینول، آئینِ پاکستان اور مروجہ قوانین کے مطابق عمران خان اور بشریٰ بی بی کو حاصل تمام قانونی، انسانی اور طبی حقوق بلاامتیاز فراہم کیے جائیں گے۔
ان کے علاج و معالجے کے سلسلے میں، جہاں قانوناً قابلِ اطلاق ہو، ان کے ذاتی/نامزد ڈاکٹروں کی طبی رائے، ہدایات اور مشوروں کو مدِنظر رکھتے ہوئے ضروری طبی سہولیات اور علاج معالجے کی فراہمی یقینی بنائی جائے گی۔
4۔جیل مینول اور متعلقہ قوانین کے مطابق عمران خان اور بشریٰ بی بی کو اپنے اہلِ خانہ، نامزد وکلاء اور مجاز/نامزد رفقاء سے ملاقات کا حق فراہم کیا جائے گا۔
ملاقاتوں کا انعقاد قانون اور جیل قواعد و ضوابط کے مطابق ہوگا۔ تاہم ملاقات کی سہولت کو کسی بھی فریق کی جانب سے ایسے سیاسی یا دیگر مقاصد کے لیے استعمال نہیں کیا جائے گا جو قانوناً ممنوع ہوں۔
5۔عمران خان، بشریٰ بی بی، خواتین، معمر اور بیمار قیدیوں سمیت تمام زیرِ حراست افراد کی جانب سے سزاؤں کے خلاف دائر درخواستوں اور دیگر قانونی درخواستوں پر آئین و قانون کے مطابق دس دن کے اندر غور کا عمل شروع/مکمل کیا جائے گا، جہاں قانوناً ایسا ممکن ہو۔
تمام مقدمات کا فیصلہ متعلقہ عدالتیں اور قانونی فورمز آئین، قانون، شفاف عدالتی طریقۂ کار اور انصاف کے اصولوں کے مطابق، بلاجواز تاخیر کے بغیر، کریں گے۔
خواتین جو سیاسی قید کاٹ رہی ہیں جن میں بزرگ یاسمین راشد اور بشری بی بی سرفہرست ہے اُن کو انسانی ہمدردی دکھاتے ہوئے جلد رہا کیا جائے۔
6۔خیبر پختونخوا میں جاری دہشت گردی کے خاتمے، عوام کے جان و مال کے تحفظ اور مستقل و پائیدار امن کے قیام کے لیے وفاقی اور صوبائی حکومتوں کے درمیان مؤثر، مسلسل اور بامعنی مشاورت کو یقینی بنایا جائے گا۔
اس مقصد کے لیے موجودہ پالیسیوں اور اقدامات کا باقاعدہ جائزہ لیا جائے گا اور ضرورت کے مطابق ان میں مناسب ترامیم کی جائیں گی۔
وفاقی اور صوبائی حکومت کے مجاز نمائندگان 72 گھنٹوں کے اندر باقاعدہ اجلاس منعقد کرکے باہمی مشاورت سے امن و امان کے قیام کے لیے ایک واضح، جامع اور قابلِ عمل حکمتِ عملی مرتب کریں گے۔
اس حکمتِ عملی پر آئین و قانون کے دائرۂ کار میں رہتے ہوئے عمل درآمد وفاقی اور صوبائی حکومتوں کی مشترکہ ذمہ داری ہوگی۔
7۔ وفاقی حکومت کی جانب سے مذکورہ بالا یقین دہانیوں اور طے شدہ اقدامات پر مؤثر عمل درآمد کی تحریری یقین دہانی کے بعد پاکستان تحریکِ انصاف موجودہ لانگ مارچ کو منسوخ کرنے کا اعلان کرے گی۔
تاہم اگر وفاقی حکومت طے شدہ یقین دہانیوں، مذاکراتی عمل یا آئینی و قانونی تقاضوں کی خلاف ورزی کرے یا مذاکراتی عمل کو بلاجواز تعطل کا شکار کرے تو پاکستان تحریکِ انصاف آئین و قانون کے مطابق اپنے پُرامن، جمہوری اور قانونی احتجاج کے حق کو محفوظ رکھے گی۔
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Message – July 8, 2025
Note: This is a repost of the tweet posted on July 9, 2025.
“When a nation rises for its rights, no force on earth can suppress it. I remain a free man, even in jail, but my nation is trapped in a prison where there is no independent judiciary, no genuine democracy, and no free media. Every Pakistani must rise up for their true freedom!
For two years, I have remained imprisoned solely for the sake of the Pakistani nation, so that no one can enslave you. Now, the time has come for you to stand up for your own freedom and defeat this oppressive system.
I repeatedly called for dialogue in the best interest of the country. But the time for negotiations has now passed. After the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the rule of law, the Constitution, and the very concept of justice have been buried. Any hope of receiving justice from the courts has been completely extinguished. The Pakistani nation now has only one path forward: a nationwide protest movement. Nothing short of this can pull us out of this quagmire of lawlessness.
A complete roadmap for the nationwide movement will be announced this week. I will have completed two full years of unjust imprisonment on August 5th. One that very day our nationwide protest campaign will be at its peak.
There will be no further negotiations of any kind with anyone anymore! The only path forward is mass protest in the streets, so the nation can rid itself of the puppets forcibly imposed upon it as its rulers.
Let me be clear: any officeholder in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf who cannot shoulder the weight of this movement should step aside immediately. Those who have submitted to these oppressors must remember: these very people will eventually crush you, and the people will never forgive you either.
Even leaders like Nelson Mandela and Gandhi were allowed to meet other prisoners, read books, and write. I am enduring a form of solitary confinement where I am locked for 22 hours a day in a 6x8 foot cell. Police officers are forbidden from speaking to me. I have been denied books for the past six months. I am not allowed to speak to my children. My lawyers and colleagues cannot visit me. My family is allowed only a few minutes of visitation each week, and many of them are often denied even that. My personal physician has not been allowed to examine me for the past ten months. Even my access to newspapers and television has been cut off for the last week. Books sent by my family are withheld and kept in the superintendent’s office. My wife is also being held in inhumane conditions in solitary confinement.
Behind all of this is the establishment and its pawns. All of this is being done to break me. But I will continue to stand against tyranny until my very last breath.
We restored the constitutional and legal rights of the tribal areas after decades and provided full resources for reconstruction and development. The current regime not only withheld their rightful funds for three years but is now actively working to roll back their constitutional rights, an action that is utterly condemnable. I commend our parliamentarians and representatives for boycotting these unlawful measures.
As for our Punjab MPAs who were suspended for protesting during the fraudulent government’s budget session, the real reason behind it was that their protest against Maryam Nawaz was intolerable for the regime, although it is a long-standing tradition to protest during budget sessions.”
There is little choice left for the people of Pakistan.
Either remain silent while their chosen leader is imprisoned. Whilst his family is detained, his party is suppressed and justice is denied - or come out peacefully and exercise their fundamental right to protest.
You can arrest families and threaten people with violence. But you cannot imprison 250 million Pakistanis or crush the will of a generation.
No regime is more powerful than its people. The world must watch as the people of Pakistan come together to demonstrate their plea for justice, even in the face of threats of violence.
Inshallah, Pakistan’s future will be decided by its people, not by criminals who rule through fear.
Important Message from Former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail - 22 July 2025
Note: This tweet is based on the tweet from July 24, 2025.
“Never in the history of Pakistan has any political leader been subjected to the treatment that I am currently enduring. Nawaz Sharif committed corruption worth billions and was nevertheless granted every possible comfort in prison. In contrast, never before has the innocent and apolitical spouse of a political figure been imprisoned under such inhumane conditions as those imposed upon Bushra Bibi.
I am enduring the harshest prison term in the country’s history solely for the supremacy of the Constitution and in service of my nation. The level of oppression and authoritarianism is such that even the water I have for ablution is filthy and contaminated with dirt, unfit for any human being. Books sent to me by my family have been withheld for months. Access to television and newspapers has also been suspended. I have spent countless hours re-reading the same old books, but now even those are no longer available.
All my basic human rights have been violated. Even the minimum facilities accorded to ordinary prisoners under the law and the jail manual are denied to me. Despite repeated requests, I have not been allowed to speak to my children. Political meetings have also been restricted; I am only permitted to meet certain ‘choice individuals’, while all other interactions are barred.
I am waging a battle against a 78-year-old system, and my greatest success is that despite unprecedented oppression, the public stands firmly with me.
On February 8th (2024), the people expressed their trust in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf by voting for you even in the absence of an electoral symbol. After such a clear mandate, it is the moral and political responsibility of every party member to become the voice of the people. It will be nothing short of disgraceful and condemnable if PTI leaders waste time on internal conflicts at this critical juncture. Anyone found engaging in factionalism within the party will be expelled. I am fighting for the future of our generations, and every sacrifice I make is for that cause. To create rifts within the party at this time would be a direct betrayal of my mission and vision.
The so-called government formed through Form 47 has crippled the judiciary through the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The way biased judges are now delivering blatantly unjust verdicts under these courts is visible to the entire nation. We must launch a robust campaign to liberate the judiciary, for no nation can survive, let alone progress, without judicial independence.”
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Conversation with Members of his Family - Adiala Jail (July 1, 2025)
Note: This is a repost of the tweet from July 1, 2025.
“Instead of going through the formality of introducing a 27th constitutional amendment through a sham parliament, it would be better to openly declare a monarchy, because what exists today is outright dictatorship, forcibly imposed on the country.
The very foundation of Pakistan was laid on La Ilaha Illallah (There is no god except Allah), a declaration that liberates mankind from all forms of slavery. Our country was freed from British rule through immense sacrifices to establish a nation where every citizen would enjoy personal liberties. But the situation is completely the opposite. A mafia seeks to keep the entire nation enslaved. I am willing to endure solitary confinement in a dark prison cell, but I will never accept slavery. And that is my message to everyone: it is better to choose imprisonment than to live in such bondage. What is the value of freedom if, outside these walls, we are not truly free? Iqbal’s Shaheen (eagle) soars high, it does not live in servitude.
I give this call to the entire nation, especially to the workers and supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: Launch a movement after Ashura against the tyrannical system that has gripped this country. For me, death would be better than accepting a system built on slavery.
Every attempt is being made to suppress my voice so that my message does not reach the people and no one dares to stand up against oppression. But I will resist tyranny until my very last breath. I have complete faith in my Creator that this shadow of injustice will soon be lifted from Pakistan.
There are four pillars integral to any democracy: the right to vote, the rule of law, moral integrity, and a free press. The 26th Constitutional Amendment has effectively dismantled all four:
1. The Right to Vote: A dictator has no need for public mandate; he governs through force. The illegitimate assemblies formed via Forms-47, and the subsequent distribution of reserved seats, have only reinforced the perception among the people that their votes hold no value.
2. The Rule of Law: The judiciary has been reduced to a subordinate department of the government. Courts are packed with handpicked judges, while independent judges have been silenced. This is a hallmark of martial law, not democracy.
3. Moral Fabric of Society: This amendment has buried all ethical values. Individuals who are not true representatives of the people now occupy seats in the assemblies. Horse-trading of assembly members continues with impunity, and even the judiciary operates under the thumb of this mafia.
4. Free Media: Under a dictatorship, the media is bound in chains. Freedom of expression has been entirely curbed. Independent journalists are being targeted, while the rest have been bought off.
Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic and constitutional right. Yet, 26 of our MPAs were suspended for staging a protest in the Punjab Assembly. I commend Ahmad Bhachar and all PTI MPAs who had the courage to challenge these pharaohs. Until our 26 members are reinstated, our elected representatives should hold their own assembly outside. The Form-47-based assemblies do not represent the people, in any case.”
These buffoons can’t help making blunder after after blunder. According to this logic, neither my mother, nor her parents are Jewish… Incredible levels of stupidity.
آئین جہاں جہاز خریدنے کی اجازت دیتا وہاں آئین فری موومنٹ کی بھی اجازت دیتا ہے سیاسی تحریک اور سیاسی ایکٹیویٹی کی بھی اجازت دیتا ہے ۔ آئین یہ بھی کہتا ہے آر او کے کمرے کے بجائے پولنگ اسٹیشن سے جیتنا ہے اور پھر حکومت بنانی ہے جو عوامی مینڈیٹ کی نمائندگی کرے
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in conversation at Adiala Jail - 24 July 2025
Note: This is a repost of the tweet from 24th July 2025
“We have knocked on every door, but no one has listened. I had asked for dialogue only once, and that too was conditional upon commissions to investigate the events of November 26th (2024) and May 9th (2023) being formed. It was Asim Munir who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians on November 26th. I reiterate there is no longer any room for dialogue because this group has completely hijacked the entire system.
I have instructed Barrister Gohar, Salman Akram Raja, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Junaid Akbar to ensure the protest movement runs with full force. The objective of this movement must be the restoration of justice, the supremacy of law, and the protection of the Constitution. If we fail to raise our voices in the streets, this group of oppressors will gradually finish off our parliamentary party as well. I am standing firm; all of you must also stand firm.
Eighty percent of the people of Pakistan stand with me and we are entitled to fight for our rights. I am aware that 90% of the electoral fraud took place between polling and the compilation of results. I campaigned for the implementation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for two years. If EVMs had been used on February 8th (2024), the game would have ended there and then. I still say today: if transparent elections are desired, EVMs must be introduced, and rigging will end once and for all.”
IMRAN KHAN’S LIFE IS NOW CLEARLY IN DANGER!
Imran Khan has repeatedly warned: “They will kill me as they killed Morsi in Egypt.”
Imran Khan was fit and healthy before being placed in complete isolation in October 2025. By the end of December, he began losing sight in one eye. Despite repeatedly informing the jail superintendent he cannot see, he was denied medical attention for nearly two weeks. When a doctor was finally allowed to examine him, Imran Khan was told that the delay had caused permanent damage to his eye. There are at least a dozen CCTV cameras around his cell. The agencies monitoring him knew he could not see in one eye. The treatment was delayed with criminal intention.
Since then, while almost no genuine information is allowed out of Adiala Jail, medical reports and supposed “inside information” about his health have intentionally leaked. By the end of July, social media was suddenly flooded with claims that his health was deteriorating, his hands and lips were trembling, his blood pressure was unstable, and that prolonged isolation was affecting him mentally. These reports were accompanied by fake and AI-generated images portraying him in wheelchairs and hospital beds.
Why is this narrative being created?
Because his captors believed he would not be able to withstand the extremely harsh conditions he was being kept in. They believed he would break, that eventually he would give up on the people of Pakistan and try to save himself.
He did not.
When he refused to give in they subjected him to extreme torture through complete isolation from human contact. Except for irregular weekly visits with his wife who is also in the same jail.
Yet he still stands defiant and because they could not break him, they have now begun creating a fake narrative and fake optics around Imran Khan’s physical and mental health.
On 18 August 2026, the Supreme Court ordered that Imran Khan be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for an independent medical examination and treatment, in the presence of Dr. Uzma Khan and his personal doctor, Dr. Faisal Sultan. The order carried a two-day deadline. He should have been shifted by 20 August. The order has still not been implemented.
What is the government hiding that it is willing to defy the Supreme Court rather than allow an independent medical examination?
We are left with no option but to come out on the streets peacefully with two clear demands:
1. Immediately shift Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for a complete independent medical examination and treatment, in compliance with the Supreme Court orders of August 18, 2026.
2. Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar who has failed to take up Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan’s bail applications for over 22 months in the Al-Qadir case and 9 months in the Toshakhana case should either dispense justice or step aside.

BREAKING NEWS: 22 Former international cricket captains have once again written a letter to Pakistan PM over the treatment for Imran Khan. They first wrote a similar letter in February and this one comes after Pak allegedly didn’t completely comply with SC directions.
They have laid down 3 demands:
1. That the medical board directed by the Supreme Court — including Mr Khan's own doctors — be permitted to complete a full and independent assessment of his health, particularly the reported loss of vision in his right eye.
2. That the weekly family visits reinstated by the Court be honoured without interruption or administrative delay.
3. That whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay.
Three Indians - Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar are among the 22 former captains.
