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.”

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.”

“Before investigating any matter, the FIA should apologize to me for fabricating a baseless case against me like the cipher case.

After the cipher, as Prime Minister, I conveyed a demarche to the Americans to protect Pakistan's sovereignty and to make my nation proud, and I presented the facts to my people.

My message to my nation was clear: we are a sovereign and dignified nation that will never accept interference in our internal affairs.

The cipher was actually sent to General Bajwa to topple my elected democratic government.

General Bajwa colluded with thieves for an extension of his tenure and imposed them on the nation.

I take responsibility for the posts made on my X (Twitter) account, but being in jail, I could not watch the video before it was uploaded.

Today, I was shown the video which contains the content of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report.

Had I seen the video before uploading, I would have made a few minor changes to make the message more effective.

The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report covers the causes, reasons, and characters involved in a tragic event in our national history.

The two main objectives of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report were to identify those responsible for the tragedy and to point out mistakes.

I referred to the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report so that we could learn from past mistakes.

In the context of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report, the criticism of General Yahya Khan is based on his political decision-making.

General Yaqub and Admiral Ahsan, stationed in East Pakistan, advised Yahya Khan against military action in East Pakistan, for which they had to resign.

The constitution binds the military to stay completely out of politics so they can perform their professional duties without facing criticism.

The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report clearly states that General Yahya Khan was fully engaged in political decision-making.

Political decisions are criticized worldwide, and democracy fully protects such criticism.

A military head is not elected or appointed through a referendum, so it is in the military's best interest, as mandated by the constitution, to keep itself and its leadership away from politics and political decisions.

When a military head gets involved in politics or makes political decisions, he steps out of his position and into the political arena.

Yahya Khan's decision of not transferring power to a government with a decisive majority and public mandate, and letting the country face a tragic incident, were his decisions.

The situation rapidly deteriorated into internal chaos and division because the public mandate was not respected, resulting in the country's split.

Pakistan and its military paid a heavy price for Yahya Khan's involvement and interest in political decision-making.

After making political decisions and getting deeply involved in politics, it was impossible for General Yahya Khan to hide behind the military, so both the Hamoodur Rahman Commission and history have critically evaluated his role.

The extraordinary similarity between the events of the 1970s and today's situation is a cause for concern for every sensible Pakistani.

In the 1970s, the country was divided; today, our economy is in ruins with minimal chances of improvement,

The attempt to revive the economy through the SIFC has failed miserably.

Crushing the country's largest and most publicly mandated party through lawlessness will not improve the economy.

The FIA should investigate who abducted Azhar Mashwani's brothers and for what crime.

Social media workers are our heroes and assets of the nation, and the harassment of them and their families should stop.

The chances of economic improvement will only arise when the public mandate is respected, and decision-making is entrusted to democratically elected representatives with the public mandate”- Imran Khan.

🚨Bushra Bibi’s health has deteriorated severely. There are rumors that she has been or is about to be moved to a hospital. We demand that her family be granted immediate access so they can see her condition. This is the same urgent access we have demanded for Imran Khan’s family, after he nearly lost complete vision in one eye. Stop this madness and give them their own rights!

[Aleema Khanum @Aleema_KhanPK]

Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for six months under brutal conditions, while Bushra Bibi is being held the same way. Their freedom is being deliberately blocked by the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, who refuses to fix their bail hearings.

Imran Khan has made it clear that the judiciary is no longer independent, it is acting like a tool of the government. Judges assigned to his cases are not delivering justice; they are ensuring hearings never happen. The reality is simple: the moment this case is heard, its weak and baseless nature will be exposed, and bail will become unavoidable. That is exactly why it is being stalled. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi continued imprisonment is due to Judge Dogar, who is openly facilitating a government that came to power by stealing Imran Khan’s mandate.

Through Salman Safdar, Imran Khan has sent a message, his wife is being pushed to the edge by prolonged isolation. He has said he can endure this ظلم himself, but she is being broken to force him into submission. The pressure is deliberate, calculated, and inhumane. He said clearly “no deal, no surrender! It is liberty or death.”

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

I have asked FM Qureshi to visit Iran, KSA & USA to meet with respective foreign ministers, Secretary of State; & COAS Gen Bajwa to contact relevant military leaders to convey a clear message: Pakistan is ready to play it's role for peace but it can never again be part of any war

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

Imran Khan will be kept in complete isolation until October 29th, with no one allowed to meet him. Yesterday, Bushra Bibi’s family was forced to wait outside Adiala Prison for over six hours, only to be denied visitation and even the right to deliver her basic daily essentials.
This is not just cruelty, it’s a blatant violation of fundamental human and prisoner rights. There appears to be no trace of law, justice, or humanity left under this tyrannical regime.

"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Sohail Afridi on assuming office as the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sohail Afridi has been one of my long-standing and loyal companions from the Insaf Students Federation (ISF). Guided by the spirit and vision of PTI, I trust he will bring lasting and revolutionary progress to KP. I also appreciate Ali Amin Gandapur for ensuring a dignified and orderly transfer of Govt on this occasion.

During the transition phase of the Chief Ministership in KP, Salman Akram Raja performed exceptionally well before the media and in the High Court. I commend him for discharging his responsibilities with great professionalism and integrity.

I reiterate my demand for the establishment of a judicial commission to investigate the four major incidents of mass killings of civilians that have taken place over the past two years: May 9th (2023), Nov 26th (2024), Azad Kashmir, and Muridke.

Since the beginning, my position on the May 9th false-flag operation has been firm and consistent. Transparency demands that the CCTV footage be made public and that an independent judicial commission be constituted to investigate the incident. Regrettably, no such measures have been taken. Instead, fabricated cases have been lodged against the victims themselves, and in the absence of transparent investigations or credible evidence, they have been handed ten-year sentences by military and summary courts. reality, it was unarmed citizens and peaceful supporters who came under fire that day.

The same pattern of state brutality was repeated on Nov 26th, when unarmed & peaceful demonstrators were directly targeted with live fire. Had the truth about May 9th been revealed, the tragedies of Nov 26th, as well as others like it, could have been averted. Later, in Azad Kashmir and now in Muridke, protesters have again been subjected to state violence. The establishment of an independent judicial commission has become imperative to ensure that the victims receive justice and those responsible for these massacres are held accountable.

If a judicial commission is once again not established to transparently investigate the killing of unarmed citizens, then, God forbid, as this reign of terror intensifies, an even greater tragedy may follow.

Today, everything in the country is being run under “Asim’s Law.” All courts have effectively turned into military courts, and even the civilian judiciary is being operated in the same manner.

In the aftermath of the 26th unconstitutional amendment, the prospect of justice from the judiciary has all but faded. The growing lawlessness and injustice across the country are direct consequences of this amendment. Our cases and petitions were presented before Justice Qazi Faez Isa, Justice Aminuddin, Justice Amir Farooq, and Justice Dogar, but justice was denied at every level.

Asim Munir, Qazi Faez Isa, and Sikandar Sultan Raja have stolen our mandate and imposed an incompetent and illegitimate regime through Form 47. This regime lacks the vision, competence, and legitimacy required to steer Pakistan out of its current crises. There exists no coherent policy framework or strategic direction to confront the pressing challenges of terrorism, internal instability, and foreign relations.

History has repeatedly shown that military dictatorships & their reliance on the use of force have never yielded lasting solutions. The issue with Afghanistan, in particular, demands a political, not military, solution. It is therefore the duty of political leadership to ensure lasting peace through dialogue and wisdom. The Form 47 regime lacks both the legitimacy & the capability to play any effective role in establishing peace.

During our Govt, the level of terrorism in Pakistan had reached its lowest point. If I am released on parole, I am ready to play my role in resolving disputes with Afghanistan & in the restoration of peace in the region."

Former PM Imran Khan’s message from Adiala, Oct 16, 2025

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

“The concept of a ‘hard state’ that Asim Munir is attempting to implement in Pakistan is entirely misguided. In its true sense, a “hard state” is one where the Constitution reigns supreme, justice remains independent, democratic freedoms are protected, and the national interest outweighs personal gain.

In contrast, Asim Munir’s notion of a ‘hard state’ signifies a system in which the pillars of democracy are dismantled and ‘Asim Law’ prevails. No ‘hard state’ can ever be established without the support and will of the people. The atrocities being perpetrated under ‘Asim Law’ are not strengthening the state. They are, in fact, eroding its very foundations. No country can become strong by turning its guns on its own citizens, as witnessed on November 26th (2024) and in Muridke, where the army, paramilitary Rangers, and the police opened fire on their own people.

The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have given a clear and overwhelming mandate to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. This mandate grants me the constitutional and democratic authority to determine the province’s policies, for my accountability lies solely with the people. It is also the right of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, to ensure the implementation of the policies, formulated in consultation with me, for which the people reposed their trust and cast their votes in our favor.

During PTI’s tenure, prudent policies fostered peace across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and beyond. Yet, since the regime change, the nation has witnessed a consistent deterioration in stability. Over the past three years, I have consistently emphasized the need for wisdom and foresight in dealing with Afghanistan through peaceful means. The current strained relations with Afghanistan are deeply concerning. Hatred and confrontation serve no one’s interests; only policies framed by genuine representatives of the people can bring about a lasting solution to terrorism.

The baseless and fabricated cases against me are being deliberately prolonged. In the Al-Qadir University Trust case, justice has been systematically denied for the past ten months. After an extended delay, the case was finally scheduled for hearing, yet the decision on bail continues to be postponed. I instruct all PTI political leaders, members of assemblies, and lawyers to regularly attend and remain present during all court proceedings of my cases, and to continue their presence until justice is served. Participation in open-court hearings is your legal and democratic right.

During PTI’s tenure in government, Nawaz Sharif was allowed daily meetings with numerous political figures in jail, with unrestricted access to family members. Even formal dinners were arranged. In stark contrast, I am being held in complete isolation. There is no precedent for such political vendetta in Pakistan’s history.

I am not being provided the basic facilities guaranteed under prison regulations. Over the past ten months, I have been allowed to speak to my sons only once, and that too for two brief intervals of three minutes each. I am being deprived not only of my fundamental human rights but also of my rights as the head of a political party, to meet party officials and consult with them. Hurdles are constantly placed to obstruct my meetings with lawyers, political colleagues, and family members. This is a blatant violation of my fundamental and legal rights.”
