وزیر اعظم عمران خان کے سامنے آرمی چیف اور ان کی ٹیم طالبان کی آبادکاری کا پلان لے کر آئے تو ان کی شرائط میں فاٹا مرجر کی واپسی کے ساتھ ساتھ یہ توہین آمیز شرط بھی شامل تھی کہ ریاست ان کے لیے مکانات تعمیر کرے گی اور یا تو ان کو سیکیوریٹی فراہم کی جائیگی یا ان کو اسلحہ سمیت آنے دیا جائیگا۔ میں نے سوال پوچھا کہ اول تو اس آبادکاری کا اُن ۷۰۰۰ سیکیوریٹی فورسز کے شہدا کے لواحقین کو کیا جواز فراہم کیا جائیگا جن کے عیال کے سروں سے فٹ بال کھیلے گئے، جن کے گلے کاٹے گئے؟ اے پی ایس کے معصوم بچوں کے لواحقین کو کیا جواب دیں گے جنہیں بے دردی سے شہید کیا گیا؟ اُن کے ٹیکس کے پیسوں سے آپ اب اُن کے قاتلوں کی آبادکاری کریں گے؟ جن کے گھروں کو آپ نے باقاعدہ مسجدوں میں یہ اعلانات کر کرکے مسمار کیا کہ یہ وطن دشمن اور قوم کے بیٹوں کے قاتل ہیں ان کے گھر آپ کس منہ سے خود تعمیر کریں گے؟ آرمی چیف اور اُن کی ٹیم کے پاس لفظوں میں ان سوالوں کا کوئی جواب نہیں تھا مگر اُن کی شکست خوردہ باڈی لینگیوج اُن کا وہ جواب تھا جس سے میں نے بہت عرصہ نظریں کترائیں۔ میرے ملک کی فوج کے سربراہ ایک ملیشیا کے ہاتھوں اتنے بے بس تھے یا ہمیشہ کی طرح ڈالری جنگ کی خواہش کے نشے میں اتنے مست تھے کہ اپنے جوانوں کے سر کاٹنے والوں کو ناصرف بنا کسی اکاونٹبلٹی واپسی کا راستہ دینے کی منصوبہ بندی کررہے تھے بلکہ ان کی لاشوں پر ان قاتلوں کے مسکن تعمیر کررہے تھے۔
میرے حوالے سے ان کے اقدامات نئے نہیں۔ گذشتہ کئی سالوں میں میرے خاندان دوستوں اور ساتھیوں کو اغوا، لاپتہ، تشدد کرنے سے گرفتار کرنے، گھر توڑنے کے متعدد واقعات ہوچکے ہیں۔ کل رات ان جرنیلوں کے مسلط کردہ ٹٹو کا بیان سُنا کے ایک ”مفرور” کے گھر کی خواتین سے دست درازی کرنا جائز ہے۔ میں اس تفصیل میں تو جاتا ہی نہیں کہ اِس ”مفرور“ کا اصل جرم کیا ہے مگر کل پہلی مرتبہ اپنی قوم کی زندگیوں کا سوال کرنے والوں سے ”آہنی ہاتھوں سے نبٹنے والی“ فوج کے آرمی چیف اور ان کی ٹیم کا شکست خوردہ انداز یاد کرکے ہنسی آئی۔ سیاسی مخالفین کے گھر توڑنے والوں، نہتی عورتوں پر ہاتھ ڈالنے والوں کا سامنا بندوقوں والوں سے ہوتا ہے تو اپنے اُن جوانوں کے خون کا بھی سودا کر آتے ہیں جن کی قربانیاں قوم کو ازبر کرا کرا کر اپنے ناجائز قبضے کا جواز ڈھونڈتے ہیں۔ خُدا کسی کو بے غیرت دشمن نہ دے۔
For the first time, the original Pakistani cypher — cable I-0678, the document that triggered the removal of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan — released in full by Drop Site.
The classified document, known as a cypher, shows that State Department diplomats had threatened in 2022 that Pakistan would suffer greatly if Khan remained in office, but that “all would be forgiven” if he were removed in a no-confidence vote.
The Biden administration was infuriated over Khan’s refusal to grant rights for U.S. drone bases in Pakistan, as well as his neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.

🇵🇰🇺🇸 The cable that toppled a government is finally public.
On March 7, 2022, Pakistan's ambassador in Washington sat down with U.S. assistant secretary of state Donald Lu. The message was short and clear, remove Imran Khan through a no-confidence vote and Washington will look the other way. "All will be forgiven," the ambassador later recalled. Thirty three days later, Khan was gone.
But this didn't start with that meeting. In June 2021, CIA Director William Burns personally flew to Islamabad to meet Khan. Waited a full day. Khan never showed. Said he'd only speak to his counterpart, meaning Biden, who had been dodging Khan's calls since day one. Burns left with nothing. Weeks later Khan went on record with Axios and just said it out loud, "Absolutely not. There is no way we are going to allow any bases, any sort of action from Pakistani territory into Afghanistan." No diplomatic cushioning, no ambiguity.
Washington had its answer. Pakistan's military had seen enough of their own prime minister.
In July 2021, behind Khan's back, the military quietly put a former CIA Islamabad station chief on retainer as a lobbyist in Washington. The generals were already cutting their own deal.
Then came the moment that sealed it. On February 24, 2022, the exact day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Khan was in Moscow shaking hands with Putin on a long scheduled visit. Biden's national security advisor Sullivan had personally called Islamabad days before urging them to cancel. Khan didn't budge. Pakistan then abstained on the UN vote condemning the invasion. Washington was done.
Weeks later came the Lu meeting. The cable. And then Khan was out.
What followed was a gut punch. Artillery shells started flowing to Ukraine secretly through U.S. defense contractors. American support for Pakistan's IMF lifeline was explicitly tied to keeping that weapons pipeline running. Pakistan got its $3 billion bailout in July 2023. In February 2024 the military brazenly rigged the elections and the U.S. and EU sat on their hands and said nothing.
And Khan? Buried under a never ending conveyor belt of charges, corruption, contempt, national security, one case collapsing only for another to appear. He has been behind bars for nearly 3 years now. His wife still in prison. His party outlawed, stripped of its electoral symbol, barred from even fielding candidates under its own name.
The cypher was always real. They called it fake, jailed the man who leaked it, and hoped everyone would move on. They didn't.
Source: Drop Site News
The story of the cypher points toward one man: General Bajwa.
He misled both Pakistan and the United States — portraying the elected PM to US officials as “anti-US” and hostile to American interests, while inside Pakistan he worked to orchestrate a Vote of No Confidence by engineering alliances and buying loyalties. The objective? Install a compliant puppet setup and secure his own extension. Pakistan paid the price for this extension game.
⚡️ Drop Site News has published for the first time the full Cable I-0678 — the classified Pakistani diplomatic telegram dated March 7, 2022, that Imran Khan has cited as evidence of a U.S.-backed conspiracy to remove him from power.
The cable, sent from Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington to the Foreign Secretary in Islamabad, documents a luncheon meeting between Ambassador Asad Majeed Khan and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu.
According to the cable, Lu told the ambassador that Washington’s grievances with Khan’s government could be set aside if Khan were removed through a no-confidence vote. “I think if the no confidence vote against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington because the Russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the Prime Minister,” Lu said, per the cable.
“Otherwise, I think it will be tough going ahead.”
In his own assessment, the ambassador wrote that Lu “could not have conveyed such a strong demarche without the express approval of the White House” and had “spoken out of turn on Pakistan’s internal political process.”
The cable was marked Secret, No Circulation, and distributed to Pakistan’s Secretary to the Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Chief of Army Staff, Director General of the ISI, and the Director of the SSP Section.
Khan was removed via no-confidence vote on April 9, 2022, six weeks after the meeting. He has been imprisoned since 2023, and has been held in solitary confinement since last year.
🔗 Read the full Drop Site report tracing how the U.S.-Pakistan relationship moved from mutual suspicion to full political embrace at the link below.
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi, along with the entire provincial cabinet, parliamentary leadership, members of National Assembly and members of the Punjab assembly was heading toward Adiala Jail to stand in solidarity with their leader, Imran Khan.
For the past seven months, Imran Khan has been unlawfully subjected to solitary confinement in prison, isolated from his family, denied basic rights, and deliberately cut off from the people of Pakistan. For the last eight months, he has also been denied proper medical treatment despite repeated concerns regarding his health. These actions are not only inhumane, but a blatant violation of constitutional, legal, and fundamental human rights.
After exhausting every democratic and legal avenue, we are left with no choice but to exercise our constitutional right to peaceful assembly in order to raise our voice against this illegitimate, stolen-mandate government and its continued political victimization of Pakistan’s most popular leader.
Our gathering point was nearly one kilometer away from Adiala Jail. Yet despite this peaceful and lawful intention, the police moved to block Imran Khan’s family, the elected representatives of the people, the entire Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet, and the sitting Chief Minister immediately after they exited the motorway en route to Adiala through Rawalpindi. The blocking of an elected Chief Minister and his cabinet is not just an attack on one political party, it is an attack on democracy itself, an insult to the mandate of millions of Pakistanis.
Goosebumps!
The man, the legend, the leader, the warrior, the statesman, Imran Khan!
He is vindicated yet again! Congrats to all Pakistanis standing behind him, you all are on the right side of history.

Message from Imran Khan, Founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, from Adiala Jail
1. I want to remind my nation that there have been two attempts on my life: first in Wazirabad, and then again at the Judicial Complex in Islamabad. The ISI stole the CCTV footage from Wazirabad, and the night before the attack in Islamabad, the ISI had taken control of the area where it happened.
Now they are even more nervous. In their panic, they have made my conditions in jail even tougher. The staff assigned to ensure that my food isn't poisoned has been changed for the fourth time. My cell is as hot as an oven. But despite these challenges, I will not give in or demand any special treatment.
The ISI controls all administrative matters related to my imprisonment. I’m saying it again: if anything happens to me, the Army Chief and DG ISI will be responsible.
There are rats in Bushra Begum’s room. They fall from above when she performs her prayers, and she has been complaining about this for three months. The court has now been informed.
2. I have already explained why the Islamabad rally was postponed. It had nothing to do with contacts with the establishment. This entire government runs on lies; I don’t even read the news about them. I have no contact with the establishment. If we do hold talks with them, it will only be for the sake of the country and the constitution.
3. Just like Israel asks Palestinians to forget about the past, you are asking me to forget the fraudulent elections! Peace and stability come from justice. The people of East Pakistan were seeking justice; they were not against us. Ensure that justice is served before talking about national reconciliation.
Cattle can be herded in a desired direction, not humans. Look at what happened in Bangladesh: the Army Chief, Chief Justice, and Police Chief were all loyal to the Prime Minister, but when the people took to the streets, they won their rights.
Despite everything, on February 8, 2024, in the elections, the nation rejected the false state narrative, especially concerning May 9th.
People admire the armed forces because they are seen as the defenders. Before the February 8th elections, a false flag operation was carried out against the nation, during which our people were subjected to violence and restrictions were imposed on our party. Yet, the people rejected the state narrative and made their stance clear.
An illegitimate Form 47 government has been imposed, which has no interest in institutional reforms. They have only increased borrowing and caused unprecedented inflation. Since all their wealth is stashed abroad, they don’t care whether Pakistan progresses or declines. Large multinational companies and skilled professionals are leaving the country. The CEO of Shaukat Khanum Hospital has informed me that it is becoming increasingly difficult to run the institution as many professionals are leaving. Only a government with a genuine mandate will be able to plan for fundamental reforms.
Anyone critical of the regime is labeled a digital terrorist. When internet services were shut down, people protested, but those in power couldn’t handle the criticism. No one is permitted to even voice their problems. The nation blames a specific institution for this.
I care about my country; my life and death are tied to Pakistan. I don’t have any wealth stashed outside the country, and I will not make dirty deals like Zardari or Nawaz Sharif. What is being done now is akin to suicide.

قاسم خان اقوام متحدہ میں 🚨
میرے والد، عمران خان، تقریباً ایک ہزار دنوں سے قید میں ہیں۔ وہ ایک ایسے نظام کا بنیادی نشانہ ہیں جو اختلافِ رائے کو سیاسی اختلاف نہیں بلکہ ایک سنگین جرم سمجھتا ہے جسے کچل دینا چاہیے

Imran Khan: “All that's left for them now is to murder me – but I'm not afraid to die”
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan writes exclusively for The Telegraph @Telegraph from the prison.
https://t.co/LcY4AU5AOm
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi remain illegally imprisoned and are being subjected to systematic psychological and physical torture through unlawful isolation.
For the past seven months, Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement. He has been denied access to his family, his personal doctors, and even basic human rights including books, which he has not been allowed for the last five months.
At this moment, our primary demand is clear: Imran Khan must immediately be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for comprehensive medical examinations and proper treatment for his eye condition.
Today, the 12th of May, CM Sohail Afridi, along with the entire KP Assembly, members of the Punjab Assembly, members of the National Assembly, and Senators from PTI, will come to Adiala Jail to stand in solidarity with their leader, Imran Khan.
Their presence will highlight the issue both nationally and internationally, the ongoing mistreatment and psychological torture being inflicted upon Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. It is also intended to build pressure on this government (a government brought into power through stolen mandate from Imran Khan) to immediately transfer him to Shifa International Hospital without any further delay.
Our family once again strongly urges Imran Khan’s supporters NOT to come to Adiala Jail today. Police will not arrest elected representatives and Senators, but the supporters remain at serious risk of arrest and mistreatment.
Recorded this video last winter long before 9th May.
And not surprisingly, everything since then has been going according to this script I mentioned in the video.
Will be exposing the conspiracy at 9:45 PM in my address tonight.
چیئرمین عمران خان نے ۹ مئی کے واقعات (جلاؤ گھیراؤ وغیرہ) کی آزادانہ تحقیقات پر اصرار کیا اور پیہم تکرار سے اپنا یہ مطالبہ دہرایا۔
انہوں نے اپنے اس مؤقف کا تسلسل سے اعادہ کیا کہ یہ ایک ”فالس فلیگ آپریشن“ تھا جس کی آڑ میں پاکستان تحریک انصاف کیخلاف بدترین کریک ڈاؤن کی ابتداء کی گئی اور جسے بنیادی انسانی و شہری حقوق پامال کرنے کے ایک جواز کے طور پر استعمال کیا گیا۔
اس ویڈیو میں موجود مناظر ثابت کرتے ہیں کہ کیسے ۹ مئی کا یہ فالس فلیک آپریشن درحقیقت پاکستان تحریک انصاف ہی کے خلاف ایک سازش تھا!

So now the complete London plan is out. Using pretext of violence while I was inside the jail, they have assumed the role of judge, jury and executioner. The Plan now is to humiliate me by putting Bushra begum in jail, and using some sedition law to keep me inside for next ten years.
