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.”
اڈیالہ جیل میں ناحق قید سابق وزیراعظم عمران خان کی اہل خانہ سے گفتگو (یکم جولائی، ۲۰۲۵)
(نوٹ: یہ ٹویٹ یکم جولائی 2025 کو کی گئی ٹویٹ پر مبنی ہے)
”جعلی پارلیمنٹ کے ذریعے چھبیسویں کے بعد ستائیسویں ترمیم لانے کا تکلف کرنے کی بجائے کھل کر “بادشاہت” ڈکلئیر کر دینی چاہییے، کیونکہ ملک پر اس وقت مکمل طور پر ڈکٹیٹرشپ مسلط ہے-
پاکستان کی بنیاد “لا الہ الا اللہ” ہے- یہ کلمہ انسان کو ہر قسم کی غلامی سے آزادی دیتا ہے- پاکستان کو بڑی قربانیاں دے کر انگریز سے آزاد کروایا گیا تاکہ ایک ایسا ملک بنے جہاں ہر شہری کو شخصی آزادی حاصل ہو- مگر یہاں حالات بالکل برعکس ہیں اور ایک مافیا پوری قوم کو غلامی میں مبتلا رکھنا چاہتا ہے۔ میں جیل کی کال کوٹھڑی میں رہ لوں گا لیکن غلامی قبول نہیں کروں گا۔ میرا تمام لوگوں کو پیغام ہے کہ سب کو ایسی غلامی پر قید کو ترجیح دینی چاہیئے کیونکہ جب ہم باہر آزاد ہی نہیں ہیں تو پھر ایسی رہائی کا کیا فائدہ؟ علامہ اقبال کا شاہین اونچا اڑتا ہے، وہ کسی کا غلام بن کر نہیں رہتا-
پوری قوم خصوصاً تحریک انصاف کے ورکرز اور سپورٹرز کو پیغام دیتا ہوں کہ ملک میں جاری ظلم کے نظام کے خلاف تحریک کا آغاز کریں۔ میرے لیے اس غلامی کے نظام کو قبول کرنے سے بہتر موت ہے۔
میری آواز ہر طرح سے دبائی جا ر��ی ہے تا کہ لوگوں تک میرا پیغام نہ پہنچ سکے اور جبر کے خلاف کوئی کھڑا ہونے والا نہ بچے۔ لیکن میں آخری سانس تک ظلم کے خلاف کھڑا رہوں گا- اور میرا اپنے ��ب پر یقین ہے کہ پاکستان سے ظلم کا سایہ جلد ختم ہو گا-
جمہوریت میں چار چیزوں کی بہت اہمیت ہوتی ہے: ووٹ کا حق، قانون کی حکمرانی، اخلاقیات اور آزاد میڈیا- چھبیسویں آئینی ترمیم نے ان چاروں کو ختم کر کے رکھ دیا ہے-
۱: ووٹ کا حق: جب ایک ڈکٹیٹر آتا ہے تو اسے ووٹ کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی تو وہ ڈنڈے کے زور پر ملک چلاتا ہے- جس طرح فارم 47 والی اسمبلیاں بنائی گئیں اور اب مخصوص نشستیں بانٹی گئیں اس سے عوام کو یہ احساس دلایا گیا ہے کہ ان کے ووٹ کی کوئی اہمیت نہیں ہے۔
۲: قانون کی حکمرانی: عدلیہ کو حکومت کے ایک ذیلی محکمے میں تبدیل کر دیا گیا ہے۔ عدالتیں اپنی مرضی کے ججز سے بھر دی گئی ہیں ا��ر آزاد ججز کے ہاتھ پاؤں باندھ دئیے گئے ہیں- ایسا صرف مارشل لاء میں ہی ہوتا ہے۔
۳: معاشرے کی اخلاقیات: اس ترمیم سے معاشرے میں اخلاقیات دفن کر دی گئی ہیں۔ اسمبلیوں میں ایسے لوگ بٹھا دئیے گئے ہیں جو عوام کے منتخب ��مائندے نہیں ہیں- ارکان اسمبلی کی کھلے عام خرید و فروخت جاری ہے- اور عدلیہ بھی اسی مافیا کے انگوٹھے کے نیچے ہے-
۴: آزاد میڈیا: ڈکٹیٹرشپ میں میڈیا کو مکمل طور پر زنجیروں میں جکڑ دیا گیا ہے۔ آزادی اظہار رائے پر مکمل پابندی عائد ہے۔ آزاد صحافیوں کو نشانہ بنایا جا رہا ہے اور باقیوں کو خرید لیا گیا ہے-
احتجاج بنیادی جمہوری اور آئینی حق ہے“
مغرب میں جمہوریت کی کامیابی کی وجہ یہ ہے کوئی منسٹر غلط کام کرے کوئی نمائندہ غلط کام کرے اسکا جینا حرام کردیتے ہیں اب پاکستان میں یہ ہونا شروع ہو گیا ہے اب شوکت یوسفزئی ہوں گنڈاپور ہوں لوگ کسی کو نہیں بخشتے جیسے ہی دیکھتے ہیں کوئی نظریے سے ہٹ رہا ہے لوگ اس کو پڑ جاتے ہیں یہ جیت ہے عمران خان کے نظریے کی جو ادھر سے ادھر ہوگا پھر فوج ہو گی عدلیہ ہوگی یا PTI کے اپنے لوگ ہوں گے عوام نہیں بخشے گی یہ وہ جمہوری ماڈل ہے جو عمران خان چاہتے تھے اس ملک میں آۓ

آخر سہیل آفریدی کو لانگ مارچ 27 ستمبر سے چار اکتوبر کیوں کرنا پڑا حقیقت سامنے آ گئی
یہ مشتاق غنی صاحب ہیں جو علی امین کے قریبی ساتھیوں میں سے ہیں جب سہیل آفریدی نے لانگ مارچ کا اعلان نہیں کیا تھا تو انہوں نے می��یا سے گفتگو کرتے ہوۓ کہا تھا میرا لیڈر جیل میں ہے میرا دل روتا ہے، جگر روتا ہے، گردہ روتا ہے تقریباً جسم کا ہر اعضاء ہی رو رہا تھا بس وہ نہیں رو رہا تھا جو اس عمر میں رونے کے قابل نہیں تھا
مشتاق غنی کا کہنا تھا سہیل آفریدی کو جلد سے جلد اسلام آباد کا رخ کرنا چاہیے اور ہمیں عمران خان کو جیل سے نکالنا ہو گا
اس بہادر اور جرات مند شخص کی بات سننے کے چار دن بعد سہیل آفریدی نے 27 ستمبر لانگ مارچ کا اعلان کر دیا، لیکن اللہ کے اس سپاہی کو اکیس ستمبر کو چلتے چلتے پاؤں میں موچ آ گئی اور ڈاکٹر نے دس دن کے لیے آرام کرنے کو کہہ دیا
اتنا نڈر اور بہادر سپاہی جب چند دن پہلے معرکے سے باہر ��و جاۓ پریشانی تو بنتی ہے سہیل آفریدی سمیت ساری PTI میں شدید مایوسی کی لہر دوڑ گئی پھر یہ فیصلہ کیا گیا کہ 27 ستمبر کی بجاۓ لانگ مارچ 4 اکتوبر کو کیا جاۓ جب عمران خان کا یہ جیالا بالکل فِٹ ہو
اب انشاء اللہ ڈاکٹر کی ہدایت کے مطابق یہ یکم اکتوبر کو مکمل صحتیاب ہوں گے اور کم از کم اپنے ستر ہزار ساتھیوں سمیت اٹک پُل پر قابض طاقتوں سے ٹکرائیں گے، جتنی غصیلی اور وحشیانہ تقریریں وقت کا محمد بن قاسم کرتا رہا ہے خدارا ایک چیز کا خیال رکھنا کوئی ہتھیار ان کی پہنچ میں نہ ہو اگر ایسا ہوا تو اندیشہ ہے یہ شہر کے شہر اڑا دے گا
کل ان کے ایک قریبی دوست بتا رہے تھے کہ لانگ مارچ کی نئی تاریخ سننے کے بعد ان کے پاؤں میں درد تھوڑی شدت اختیار کر گیا ہے لیکن جو شہادت کے جذبے سے سرشار ہو انہیں یہ درد بھی تسکین دیتے ہیں
اقبال نے ایسے ہی بہادروں کے بارے میں کہا تھا
محبت مجھے ان جوانوں سے ہے
ستاروں پہ جو ڈالتے ہیں کمند
2022 میں KPK حکومت نے پنشن سکیم متعارف کروائی جس میں ملازمین اور حکومت دونوں کی جانب سے حصہ ڈالا جاتا ہے %10 ملازم اپنی تنخواہ میں سے ادا کرتا ہے %12 گورنمنٹ اس میں ڈالتی ہے یہ پنشن کا %22 بن جاتا ہے یہ رقم حکومت انویسٹ کردیتی ہے اس پر پرافٹ ملتا رہتا ہے یہ ایک ایسا شاندار نظام تھا جسے پہلے بھی کئی ممالک اپنا چکے ہیں KPK نے 2022 میں اس پر عمل کیا اور KP پنشن کے بوجھ سے آزاد ہو گیا ہے 2026 میں اب اس کو سندھ وفاق اور پنجاب فالو کرنے کا پلان بنا رہا ہے

محسن نقوی کے پاکستان آنے کے بعد فیلڈ مارشل سے محسن نقوی کی ملاقات ہوتی ہے یہ ملاقات 3 اشخاص کے درمیان ہوتی ہے اطلاعات جو صحافتی حلقوں میں گردش کر رہی ہیں وہ یہ ہیں کہ آصف علی زرداری سندھ کی تق��یم پر نہیں مانے دوسری طرف پیپلز پارٹی کے حلقوں کا کہنا ہے بلاول بھٹو نہیں مان رہے

ہماری اپوزیشن سے بات چیت چل رہی ہے کوئی حتمی بات کہنا ابھی مشکل ہے، بات چیت کے بعد ہمیں بھی اپرول چاہیے ہوتا ہے اور انہیں بھی اپرول چاہیے ہوتا ہے
ہمیں اپرول ذرا آسانی سے مل جاتا ہے انہیں تھوڑا مشکل ملتا ہے

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.”
🇵🇰 Pakistan is clearing HOSPITAL BEDS for MASS CASUALTIES from a protest that hasn't happened yet!
That may be the most alarming sign yet of what authorities expect on September 27.
Ahead of PTI's march on Islamabad, Drop Site News says it obtained government instructions ordering hospitals to prepare for a potential “humanitarian crisis” and “mass casualty incident.”
Elective surgeries are reportedly being postponed. Staff leave cancelled. Employees recalled. Stable patients discharged to make room.
And while hospitals prepare for casualties, the government is trying to stop the people who might fill those beds from reaching Islamabad in the first place.
Imran Khan's three sisters have been detained for 30 days. PTI politicians and workers have been arrested. Roadblocks are going up. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi says the march will be stopped “in every possible way.”
None of this means mass casualties will occur. Preparing hospitals for the worst is exactly what governments should do when serious unrest is possible.
But the preparation itself tells us something extraordinary.
6 days before the march, Pakistan is not only preparing to police a demonstration... it is reportedly preparing its hospitals for what's about to come.

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.”
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.”
Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?
For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir, which according to the UN, amounts to torture and which is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health.
He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.
The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.
He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.
Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.
Yet those orders are being defied.
This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.
He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.
His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls.
I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father.
@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court; restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.
Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government to please now do the right thing.
