“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.”

“In 2021, the military leadership at the time proposed a plan for the resettlement of militants who had laid down their arms. However, our elected representatives from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the tribal areas opposed it, and therefore it was never implemented during our tenure.
Yet, contrary to these facts, the PTI government is being falsely accused of having allowed terrorists to be settled in the country and thereby causing the present wave of terrorism. The nation deserves to know precisely which terrorists were resettled, and the details of when, where, and how?” -
Message from illegally incarcerated Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan (October 9, 2025)
“The circumstances in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa necessitated a change in the Chief Minister, a step fully in line with the constitutional process followed in other provinces as well. This process must be allowed to proceed without interference, ensuring its timely completion. Any attempt to interfere in this process will be met with a vigorous public protest.
Sohail Afridi was chosen because of his long-standing affiliation, dating back to his student days with ISF, and the ideology of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. This decision also reinforces the narrative of involving grassroots workers in decision-making instead of relying solely on electables.
Attempts by certain quarters to link the change in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister to my family are completely unfounded. The decision is purely political and no member of my family in any way influenced it. No family member has any connection to my political decisions.
Ali Amin is among my old and loyal associates, but he is embroiled in disputes. These disputes from Asim Munir’s policy of confronting terrorism through empty displays of force rather than a comprehensive political strategy. The year 2025 marks the worst period in Pakistan’s history in terms of terrorist incidents, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa can no longer withstand the crisis. I hope the new Chief Minister and his team will work with public representatives to adopt a comprehensive policy aimed at eliminating terrorism and establishing lasting peace.
For the past two decades I have consistently outlined a clear strategy to combat terrorism. Because of that strategy, terrorism was largely brought under control during Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s three-and-a-half-year government. At that time, PTI even negotiated with the then anti-Pakistan and India-aligned Ashraf Ghani government, and issues involving tribal communities and Afghan refugees were resolved through understanding.
In 2021, the military leadership at the time proposed a plan for the resettlement of militants who had laid down their arms. However, our elected representatives from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the tribal areas opposed it, and therefore it was never implemented during our tenure. Yet, contrary to these facts, the PTI government is being falsely accused of having allowed terrorists to be settled in the country and thereby causing the present wave of terrorism. If these accusations hold any truth, the nation deserves to know precisely which terrorists were resettled, and the details of when, where, and how.
At times, it is alleged that the Afghan government is responsible for terrorism in Pakistan because militants based in Afghanistan carry out operations here; at other times it is claimed that decades-long settlement of Afghan migrants in Pakistan is responsible. Both claims are unfounded, for even after the disgraceful expulsion of millions of Afghan refugees, terrorism has only intensified. Such contradictions leave no doubt about the ill intentions behind the Asim Munir-imposed system and its hostility toward the people.
My position on confronting terrorism has always been unequivocal. History has proven time and again that when force replaces political foresight and strategy, failure is the only outcome. Collateral damage resulting from military operations often forces the public, in revenge, to take up arms, perpetuating a cycle that grows progressively worse.
Politically motivated reprisals have produced a stream of baseless cases against me, repeatedly refiled. Cases large and small, including Tosha Khana, Al-Qadir, cipher, iddat, and again Tosha Khana, have been brought against me and my wife, Bushra Bibi, solely to coerce me into abandoning my commitment to true freedom. I want to send my nation this message once more: no matter what they do, I will not bow before them, nor will I allow my nation to bow.”
Message from former Prime Minister Imran Khan from prison - October 9th, 2025
“خیبرپختونخوا کے حالات کے تناظر میں وزیراعلیٰ کی تبدیلی ناگزیر تھی اور یہ ایک آئینی عمل ہے جو اس ملک کے دیگر صوبوں میں بھی ہوتا آیا ہے اور اس میں کسی کو مداخلت نہیں کرنی چاہیئے تاکہ یہ عمل جلد از جلد مکمل ہو۔ اگر کسی نے اس میں مداخلت کی کوشش کی تو بھرپور احتجاج ہو گا۔
سہیل آفریدی کا انتخاب زمانہ طالب علمی سے ان کے آئی ایس ایف اور تحریک انصاف کے نظرئیے سے وابستگی کی وجہ سے کیا۔ یہ فیصلہ تحریک انصاف کی الیکٹیبلز کی جگہ گراس روٹ ورکرز کو فیصلہ سازی کے عمل میں شامل کرنے کے بیانیے کو بھی تقویت بخشتا ہے۔
خیبرپختونخوا کے وزیراعلیٰ کی تبدیلی کو بعض حلقے میرے خاندان کے افراد سے جوڑنے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں، جو کہ سراسر غلط ہے۔ یہ فیصلہ مکمل طور پر سیاسی ہے، جس پر میرے خاندان کا کوئی فرد کسی بھی طرح سے اثر انداز نہیں ہوا۔ میرے خاندان کے کسی فرد کا میرے سیاسی فیصلوں سے کوئی تعلق نہیں ہے۔
علی امین میرے پرانے اور وفادار ساتھیوں میں سے ہیں لیکن وہ تنازعات کی زد میں ہیں۔ یہ تنازعات عاصم منیر کی کسی جامع سیاسی حکمت عملی اپنائے بغیر خالی گولہ بارود سے دہشتگردی کے مسئلے سے نمٹنے کی پالیسی کے باعث پیدا ہوا- 2025 دہشتگری کے واقعات کے حوالے سے پاکستانی تاریخ کا بدترین سال ہے اور خیبرپختونخوا کا صوبہ مزید اس صورتحال کا متحمل نہیں ہو سکتا۔ امید کرتا ہوں کہ نیا وزیراعلیٰ اور اس کی ٹیم دہشتگردی کے خاتمے اور دیرپا امن کے قیام کے حوالے سے عوامی نمائندوں کے ساتھ مل کر جامع پالیسی اپنائیں گے۔
میں گزشتہ دو دہائیوں سے دہشتگردی سے نمٹنے کی واضح حکمت عملی بیان کرتا رہا ہوں۔ اسی حکمت عملی کے باعث تحریک انصاف کے ساڑھے تین سالہ دور حکومت میں دہشتگری پر بہت حد تک قابو پا لیا گیا تھا۔تحریک انصاف نے اس وقت کی پاکستان مخالف اور بھارت نواز اشرف غنی حکومت سے بھی مذاکرات کئے اور قبائلی عوام اور افغان پناہ گزینوں کے معاملات بھی افہام وتفہیم سے طے کئے۔
2021 میں اس وقت کی فوجی قیادت نے ہتھیار پھینکنے والے دہشتگردوں کو واپس بسانے کا منصوبہ پیش کیا تھا، مگر اس منصوبے کو خیبرپختونخوا اور قبائلی علاقوں کے ہمارے منتخب نمائندوں نے مسترد کر دیا تھا- اس منصوبے پر ہمارے دور میں عمل نہیں ہوا۔ لیکن اب حقائق کے برعکس تحریک انصاف کی حکومت پر یہ سراسر جھوٹا الزام لگایا جا رہا ہے کہ ملک میں دہشتگردی اس دور میں بسائے گئے دہشتگردوں کی وجہ سے پیدا ہوئی ہے۔ قوم کو بتایا جائے کہ کون سے دہشتگرد کب، کہاں اور کیسے بسائے گئے؟
کبھی یہ کہا جاتا ہے پاکستان میں دہشتگردی کی ذمہ دار افغان حکومت ہے جس کی تائید سے افغانستان میں بسنے والے دہشتگرد پاکستان میں کاروائیاں کرتے ہیں اور کبھی کہا جاتا ہے کہ دہشتگردی دہائیوں سے پاکستان میں بسنے والے افغان مہاجرین کی وجہ سے ہے۔ یہ دونوں باتیں ہی غلط ہیں کیونکہ لاکھوں افغان مہاجرین کو بے عزت اور رسوا کر کے نکالنے کے باوجود دہشتگردی بڑھتی جا رہی ہے۔ یہ متضاد بیانات عاصم منیر کے مسلط کردہ عوام دشمن نظام کی بد حواسی کو ظاہر کرتے ہیں۔
دہشتگردی سے نمٹنے کے حوالے سے میرا موقف ہمیشہ سے دوٹوک رہا ہے۔ تاریخ بھی گواہ ہے دہشتگردی کے خلاف اگر باقاعدہ سیاسی بصیرت اور حکمت عملی کے بجائے صرف طاقت کا استعمال کیا جائے تو ناکامی ہی مقدر بنتی ہے۔ ملٹری آپریشن کے نتیجے میں ہونے والا “کولیٹرل ڈیمج “ عوام کو انتقاماً ہتھیار اٹھانے پر مجبور کر دیتا ہے اور یوں یہ سلسلہ بد سے بدتر ہوتا چلا جاتا ہے۔
سیاسی انتقام میں میرے خلاف مسلسل بے بنیاد مقدمات نہ صرف بنائے جا رہے ہیں بلکہ بار بار دہرائے جا رہے ہیں۔ توشہ خانہ، القادر، سائفر، عدت اور پھر توشہ خانہ سمیت کئی چھوٹے بڑے مقدمات مجھ پر اور میری اہلیہ بشرٰی بیگم پر صرف اس لیے بنائے گئے ہیں تاکہ میں جھک کر حقیقی آزادی کا عزم ترک کر دوں۔ میں اپنی قوم کو پھر سے پیغام دینا چاہتا ہوں یہ چاہے کچھ بھی کر لیں میں ان کے سامنے نہ جھکوں گا نہ اپنی قوم کو جھکنے دوں گا” -
سابق وزیراعظم عمران خان کا جیل سے پیغام (9 اکتوبر، 2025)
I have been offered deals time and again, told either to leave the country or remain silent, and in return my cases would be withdrawn. Yet from the very first day, my position has been that I will only emerge from these cases through the courts, never as the result of any deal. This is why 300 fabricated cases have been filed against me. Any other person could not have withstood such persecution, but I know that I am innocent and that I stand on the side of truth.
Even the false Toshakhana case has now completely collapsed. Witnesses presented by the prosecution, Brigadier Ahmad and Colonel Rehan, themselves admitted that the Toshakhana gifts were not taken to my residence but deposited in the Toshakhana, and all documentation is complete.
Therefore, acquittal in this case should be granted in a single day, and in particular, bail for Bushra Begum should be approved, as she is a woman and is facing nothing but baseless allegations of aiding and abetment.
I am fully aware that the so-called courts under the 26th Amendment deliver dictated verdicts, not according to the law but according to Asim Law. The sequence has already been planned: first, conviction will be announced in the second Toshakhana case, and only then will bail in the Al-Qadir Trust case be approved. This is the script, and the judiciary is currently functioning not on the basis of law, but according to this script.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, speaking with family and lawyers at Adiala Jail – 24 September 2025

The key witness, whose testimony formed the very basis of this case, has been conclusively discredited in court. There is no justification for dragging this case any further, especially since the prosecution’s own witnesses, Brigadier Ahmed and Colonel Rehan, has testified that the documents of the gifts taken from Toshakhana were complete. Yet, despite all evidence and government witnesses being discredited, the hearings continue. If this were not a matter of political vendetta, both Bushra Begum and I should be acquitted of this baseless case within the week. On Thursday, a date was finally set for the Al-Qadir case as well. I still hope that the court, guided by merit and law, will deliver justice in these cases and grant me release from this fabricated charge.
Mohsin Naqvi has done to cricket what Asim Munir has done to Pakistan, left it in ruins. Every institution in Pakistan is currently in a state of collapse. Cricket, the sport that unites and inspires the nation, has suffered steadily since it was placed under the stewardship of Mohsin Naqvi. In 2021, the Pakistan team had defeated India by 10 wickets and was a confident side at that time.
The only way they can win a match is if Asim Munir and Mohsin Naqvi are sent in as opening batsmen, Sikandar Sultan Raja and Qazi Faez Isa are made the on-field umpires, and Dogar is appointed as the third umpire, because under the current setup, this seems to be their only way of winning.
Asim Munir should reflect on everything he has done just to prolong his illegitimate rule.
First, democracy was dismantled, a false flag operation on May 9 was staged to crush the country’s largest political party. Then, on February 8 (2024), the two-thirds majority vote that the people had given to me in the elections was stolen and power was handed over to the same thieves who have done nothing except loot the nation’s wealth. Despite being a dictator, Musharraf still had some degree of public support for two reasons: first, he had freed the media; second, he was holding the country’s two most corrupt families, the Sharifs and the Zardaris accountable. Now, by once again imposing this convicted corrupt mafia on the nation, the country has been pushed back by decades.
Secondly, through the 26th Amendment, the independence of the judiciary has been stripped away, turning it into just another state-controlled institution. Yet, those judges who still stand firm today for the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution are truly commendable. They are the heroes of the entire nation, and the whole country stands behind them for raising the banner of truth even in these most difficult times. On the other hand, those judges who have bowed before Asim Munir will never be forgiven, neither by history, nor by this nation.
Thirdly, the moral order has been dismantled, and human rights are being grievously violated. Innocent citizens have been imprisoned, subjected to military trials, and handed unlawful sentences, all without fear of accountability.
I want to send a message to my party, especially Ali Amin, Barrister Saif, and Barrister Gohar to completely cut off all contact with the establishment. If the establishment has anything to say, let them come to Adiala Jail and speak with me. The more you try to negotiate with them, the more they escalate their cruelty and try to crush our party.
What an inhumane act it is that innocent prisoner Qasim Khokhar, who had been jailed in Gujranwala for two years, was denied timely medical treatment, leading to his death in prison. Previously, several other workers have also died after being released from jail. I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families.

“Prior to the elections, although an atmosphere of fear prevailed, I had predicted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf would achieve a clean sweep, and that is exactly what happened. Today I am making another prediction: the injustice, oppression, fascism, lawlessness, and economic devastation in our country are propelling Pakistan rapidly towards a situation like the one seen in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
I instruct all PTI parliamentarians and party officials: now is the time to perform as the genuine opposition. Whoever does not do so, will dig their own political grave because that is what the people expect. We sought legal remedies against every injustice, including the theft of our mandate, but did not get justice; therefore, now is the time to stand firmly in opposition. The more you cooperate, the more you will be oppressed. Those who do not resolutely stand against this dispensation will dig their own political graves.
I call upon the entire nation to focus their attention on the Peshawar rally to be held on September 27th. People from across the country should participate in this gathering and raise their voices against oppression.”

“My message for Asim Munir is that, as believers in ‘La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah (There is no God but Allah and Mohammad [Peace Be Upon Him] is His messenger)’ we have pledged that, as long as we are alive, we will not bow down before the cruelty of Yazid or the tyranny of the Pharaoh, because bowing down to any being other than Allah is ‘shirk’ (associating partners with God). The psychological torture being inflicted on me and Bushra Begum in prison is being carried out by Asim Munir, and the sole purpose is to make us break down and submit.
The army did not choose General Yahya Khan to govern the country; rather, he used the army to establish a dictatorship, and unleashed a reign of oppression and tyranny upon the nation. In his greed to rule for ten years, he split our country apart. Today, Asim Munir is also doing the same: using the army to create an atmosphere of lawlessness and fascism in our country.
Asim Munir has left no stone unturned for the extension of his illegitimate rule for ten years. First, he strangled democracy. By staging the false flag of May 9th (2023) he attempted to crush the country’s largest political party. Then, on February 8th (2024), when people voted in large numbers for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to give the party a clean sweep, that election was shamelessly stolen. The people’s mandate was taken and handed to convicted criminals. After that, the judiciary was incapacitated and, through the 26th Amendment, judges were subjugated. The judiciary has been turned into nothing but a subordinate department of the government.
Thirdly, restrictions were placed on the freedom of the media. The notion of a free press in Pakistan has been eradicated. The tenuous hold of democracy that existed in Pakistan — consisting, to some degree, of an independent judiciary and a free media — has been terminated by Asim Munir. Democracy in the country is suspended, human rights violations are at their peak, the judiciary is subservient, and the media is intimidated.
Ever since Asim Munir took over as Army Chief, he has been attempting to sour relations with Afghanistan. Upon taking office, he first issued threats to Afghanistan, then expelled Afghan nationals who had lived here for three generations, followed by drone strikes there, making every effort to provoke them into fighting Pakistan, creating a climate of terrorism. He is doing this to portray himself as a “mujahid” (warrior) to lobbies in the West that oppose the current Afghan government, in order to convince them that he is the one who can fight the war against terrorism.
Because of this oppression, Pakistan’s economy is experiencing historically slow growth. Foreign investment is virtually zero. Never in Pakistan’s history has investment been as low as it is at this time. In three years the national debt has doubled. Every Pakistani is now trapped in a quagmire of debt. Until a government of the people is established, it will not be possible to solve the country's economic challenges.
The extent of moral decay in our country is unprecedented. Atrocities have been inflicted upon people here that are not even seen in wartime. Women have been dragged in the streets, children have been seized and harassed, and the sanctity of the elderly has been violated. Never before have any politician's non-political female relatives been treated as badly as my wife and other family members have been. When a state is handed over to thieves and plunderers, tales of whose corruption every child knows, morality is bound to be destroyed like this.”

“When the tragic incident of the Fall of Dhaka occurred in 1971, the country was under martial law, imposed by the dictator Yahya Khan, who had made himself the ultimate authority. The Hamoodur Rahman Commission was established following the tragedy of East Pakistan. It revealed that Yahya Khan, in pursuit of his personal interests and to unlawfully extend his rule by another ten years, made decisions that led to Pakistan being split into two.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report was prepared after extensive investigations involving representatives of the superior judiciary, the Army, Navy, and Air Force. During this process, statements of hundreds of people were recorded and four years were spent probing the causes of this national tragedy.
According to the Commission, one man's ego and lust for power led to a dark era of tyranny and oppression that permanently broke the country apart. His gravest mistake was the attempt to suppress Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s Awami League, the most popular party of the time, which had won 160 out of 162 seats. Instead of respecting his party's mandate, it was pushed into a corner. Mujibur Rahman was imprisoned, and their own seats in West Pakistan were fraudulently increased. On March 24th, 1971, negotiations with Mujibur Rahman began, but on that very night, a military operation was launched against the Bengalis. According to official figures, 50,000 lives were lost, but the real death toll was far greater.
The same conditions as those of 1971 have been recreated in Pakistan today. Asim Munir orchestrated the false-flag operation of May 9th (2023) to crush the country’s most popular political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Over ten thousand PTI members and supporters were arrested within two nights. How was it possible that 10,000 people could be detained in just two nights without any investigation? Thereafter, a systematic campaign was launched to annihilate the party. All political activities of the largest political force in the country were banned. Anyone carrying a PTI flag was abducted, our candidates and their families were kidnapped, and even our electoral symbol was taken away. Yet on February 8th (2024), the people came out in defiance and shattered this entire false narrative.
February 8th was a day of revolution when the people voted against an oppressive system and gave PTI a two-thirds majority. When the Commissioner of Rawalpindi, in response to the call of his conscience, exposed electoral rigging and confessed to manipulation of votes by the tens of thousands, the very forces guilty of rigging concocted the absurd narrative that he had lost his mental balance—and then made him forcibly disappear. His whereabouts remain unknown to this day, but we will not allow his memory to be erased.
The real culprits of May 9th are those who stole the CCTV footage. Now, under the guise of that incident, our remaining seats in parliament are being taken away by handing down ten-year sentences of ten after sham trials. The height of shamelessness is that Ejaz Chaudhry’s seat was stolen and handed over to Rana Sanaullah, who had lost his own election. All these punishments are utterly unlawful.
Through deceit, seats are being snatched from us one by one. That is why we chose to boycott the by-elections, because those seats too will ultimately be stolen. To participate in such elections would be to legitimize these false convictions. I pay tribute to all those who have resigned from the National Assembly committees and given up all privileges, and I direct that resignations also be submitted from the Senate’s standing committees. I will announce our future course of action in the coming days.”

“The military operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa must be stopped immediately. ANP was made unpopular through similar actions in the past. Launching operations against our own people merely to please foreign powers does not improve the situation; it only makes it worse. In these operations, on one side our security forces are killed, and on the other, our citizens lose their lives. Killing one’s own always leads to an increase in terrorism. Drone strikes taking place in Afghanistan and Pakistan must also be halted immediately.
I instruct all members of provincial and national assemblies and the senate who are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to come together and resist these operations and drone strikes against our own people, and to work for peace so that issues can be resolved through dialogue. At a time when people are already suffering from floods and unbearable inflation, they are now being subjected to military operations as well. This is extremely painful. History bears witness that apart from negotiations, there has never been any lasting solution to peace.
Afghanistan is our brotherly Muslim country. Afghan refugees have been living here for three generations. When the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) migrated to Madinah, the people opened their doors for him, and for this reason the Ansar (helpers) of Madinah are honored to this day. Yet we have made life unbearable for our Muslim brothers. Forcibly expelling refugees is deeply regrettable. Asim Munir is doing all this merely to appease the anti-Taliban lobby, deliberately imposing war in a place where no war exists. These measures must stop immediately, otherwise the situation will deteriorate further.”

“My sisters and my wife have nothing to do with politics. Aleema Khan only comes forward to convey my message. The campaign being waged against her is shameful and stands as undeniable proof of the cowardice and fear of the regime imposed on the country.
Bushra Begum has no role in politics whatsoever. Never once has she asked me to nominate a minister, a ticket-holder, or a senator. She does not send political messages. She is in solitary confinement and has no contact with any political figure outside. She is only having to endure the ordeal of imprisonment because she is my wife.
The oppressive regime believed it could use Bushra Begum as my weakness, but because of her unwavering faith she has, instead, become my strength. She is perhaps the only woman in Pakistan’s history who is entirely non-political, yet has been imprisoned simply because a member of her family is engaged in politics. Bushra Begum’s health is deteriorating to the point that she experiences dizziness while walking. A request has been filed for a medical examination for her, but it has not yet been accepted. It is of utmost importance to have her examined by her doctors immediately. To imprison Bushra Begum in political cases is conclusive evidence of the moral and religious degradation of Asim’s regime.
All the atrocities against me and my family are being committed under orders from Asim Munir. Our country is currently under ‘Asim Law’. He has buried all morality, running things under the ‘Dacoits and Duffers Alliance.’ The most glaring proof of this moral collapse is that even the women of my family are being targeted.”
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s conversation with lawyers in Adiala Jail (10 September 2025)

“I am a believer in ‘La Ilaha Illallah’ (There is no god but Allah). This declaration liberates a believer from every form of fear and slavery. My life is in the hands of Allah, not in the hands of Asim Munir. Our faith alone is the guarantor of our ‘Haqeeqi Azadi (True Freedom)’, for it grants the strength to break free from the chains of fear.
I continue to be held in solitary confinement in an effort to break me. My personal doctors have not been permitted to examine me for one year. Access to newspapers and television is blocked for weeks at a time. Even family members and lawyers are barred from meeting me. I have not been allowed to meet my political colleagues for a year and a half. My message to Asim Munir is this: no matter how much pressure you put on me, or which of my family members you throw into prison, I will neither bow down nor accept this oppression. I will continue my struggle for true freedom, come what may.
In an attempt to appease the lobby that opposes the current government in Afghanistan, Asim Munir, in his short-sightedness, is destroying the peace that was established in the region during our tenure. Where there should have been a strong relationship, things are being made worse. It grieves me deeply that after decades of hospitality, our Afghan brothers are now being forcibly pushed out of the country. At a time when Afghanistan has been struck by an earthquake, we ought to be helping them, not expelling them.
I direct Ali Amin Gandapur to go to Afghanistan, sit with them, and hold discussions regarding mutual issues and peace and security so that the situation can be prevented from deteriorating further. The sham federal government must answer: if Maryam Nawaz can travel to Japan and Thailand, why should the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa not be able to travel to Afghanistan for peace in his province?
The ongoing military operations, drone strikes, and forced displacements of our own people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are, in reality, an attempt to undermine Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s government that was formed with a public mandate. Ali Amin Gandapur must firmly resist this operation. The people of the province are already devastated by floods. If drone strikes and military operations are not stopped, it will be a grave injustice. Already, many of our police personnel have embraced martyrdom. As long as this operation continues, the hardships of the people will increase, and terrorism will intensify further.
At this moment, the entire country is submerged in floods. People have suffered immense losses because of these floods in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The whole nation must unite to confront this situation. I would surely be conducting fundraising and telethons if I were not in prison. From here, I call upon my nation to contribute generously and wholeheartedly to relief efforts for the assistance of flood victims.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf must also fully participate in the protest against the attack on the political gathering in Balochistan.”
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s message from Adiala Jail - 8 September 2025
“Those who stole the people’s mandate are gripped by fear. It is because of this fear that oppression against us is intensifying. My wife and I are being held in solitary confinement. We are being subjected to mental torture in an attempt to break my resolve and make me abandon my ideology. The goal of these attempts to break me is nothing but to suppress the voice of the people.
Yahya Khan had adopted this very approach at the time of the Fall of Dhaka.Blinded by his lust to prolong his rule, he unleashed every form of fascism to suppress the people’s voice, and ultimately broke the country apart. All of this is documented in the Hamood-ur-Rehman Commission Report. Today, Asim Munir is also resorting to oppression to extend his rule, making the country weaker.
However, the difference between 1971 and the situation today is the awareness among the masses. Social media has unveiled all the truths before the nation, and the people have learned to rise for their rights against tyranny. That is why this oppressive system will soon crumble. It is time for the people’s voice to be heard.
The country is facing widespread devastation due to floods. Pakistan’s economy was already in shambles, and now,as a result of the extensive flooding, people’s crops and livestock have been destroyed. This has wiped out the agricultural economy and its effects will be felt across the entire nation. In such circumstances, it is essential that relief efforts in flood-affected areas be carried out without discrimination, with everyone playing their part. If I were not in prison, I would certainly have organized a telethon and fundraising campaign for this cause. Government institutions alone cannot tackle a disaster of this scale; every citizen must contribute so that we may confront it collectively as a nation. To prevent future destruction from floods, large-scale plantation of trees must be undertaken urgently.
I strongly condemn the attack on the death anniversary of Akhtar Mengal’s father in Balochistan and extend my condolences to him. The situation in Balochistan is deteriorating with each passing day because the people’s elected representatives are not allowed to govern. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf must fully participate in Mehmood Achakzai’s call for strike on September 8th. The people of Balochistan deserve to be freed from terrorism and the hybrid system imposed upon them.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, an operation has been launched to weaken the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The provincial government must immediately put an end to it. I give special instructions to Ali Amin Gandapur that since the people of the province are already suffering due to the floods, this operation must be firmly resisted and stopped. It is the responsibility of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to halt the drone strikes occurring in the tribal districts. Safeguarding the lives and property of the people is the duty of our government.
The earthquake in Afghanistan has left my heart deeply grieved, and I am pained that at a time of such hardship, we are forcibly expelling our Muslim brothers from the country. In this difficult hour, we should be standing with them. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government must also extend help to our Afghan brothers.”
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s conversation with family members and lawyers in Adiala Jail (September 5, 2025)
From Imran Khan, jailed Pakistani leader: General Asim Munir's actions reflect an alarming pursuit of power, fostering an oppressive regime. Rather than forcing me to apologize, he owes the nation one for undermining democratic values.
#Pakistan
“Asim Munir has an insatiable hunger for power, which is why he has imposed the worst form of dictatorship. Instead of demanding that I apologize, Asim Munir should apologize to me. The events of May 9th (2023) were orchestrated by the same person who stole the CCTV footage. At present, May 9th has become Asim Munir’s insurance policy.
It is not a hybrid system that is in place in our country, but the dictatorship of Asim Munir. That is precisely why (President) Trump invited him instead of Shehbaz Sharif.
In their extreme fascism and oppression, they continue to target non-political members of my family. My two nephews, Shahrez and Shershah Khan, have been abducted despite having no involvement in politics. My nephew Shahrez Khan, who is an excellent athlete, was forcibly taken away. I am being held in complete solitary confinement. Over a period of three months, I have been allowed only three meetings. Even meetings with my lawyers and family are blocked for months at a time. All of this is being done to pressure me.
For the past eight months, my wife, Bushra Bibi, has also been held in solitary confinement. Such treatment of women is unprecedented in the history of Pakistan, not even under Yahya Khan.
Faisal Vawda, who acts as a mouthpiece of the establishment, issued statements that Bushra Bibi would seek separation from me. She was pressured to do so, but she stood firmly by my side. Previously, when Asim Munir was removed from the post of DG ISI, he attempted to contact Bushra Bibi through Zulfi Bukhari, but she refused. That is why she is being subjected to such cruel treatment today. She is kept in solitary confinement under deplorable conditions, where she has suffered electric shocks and physical wounds. She is provided polluted water to use. Every form of cruelty is being inflicted upon her.
Asim Munir is behind all this. He has neither morality nor an understanding of Islam. My message to him is this: no matter which member of my family you imprison to increase pressure on me, I will neither bow down nor accept this tyranny. I will continue my struggle for Haqeeqi Azadi (genuine freedom), no matter what.
Asim Munir is doing to Pakistan what Mohsin Naqvi has done to cricket.
The judiciary has been destroyed, the media silenced, and the police forced into actions that have criminalized the institution itself. Even during Yahya Khan’s era, such circumstances did not exist. The police are being used against the members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which has led to a rise in crime across the country. Unemployment is at its peak. The economy cannot be fixed by the SIFC, but through public confidence and the rule of law.
Criminals have been imposed upon us, despite the fact that ISI had itself shared with me evidence of their corruption and money laundering. All cases against anyone who left PTI were immediately forgiven.
Whenever dictatorship takes hold, it does so by colluding with judges. At present, due to shameless judges, the rule of law in Pakistan has completely collapsed. After the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the judiciary has become entirely subservient. These judges without a conscience do not take action against human rights violations. If our judges acted upon their conscience, provided justice to the people of Pakistan, and feared accountability before Allah on the Day of Judgment, then such tyranny would never have been possible. These conscienceless judges are equally complicit in this injustice and oppression."
Important Conversation of Former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail
(August 26, 2025)
1/2
Our father lived in Pakistan - away from us - for most of our lives. Not because he had to, but because he chose to stand up against a corrupt regime. While he wasn’t there every day as a father, Pakistan had him as a leader. He gave his country everything: hospitals, universities, and a movement for justice.
He’s been offered the chance to spend the rest of his days in comfort - going on walks or playing cricket with us in England. Instead, he chooses to remain locked away in a dark prison cell.
His sacrifice is for Pakistan.
His strength comes from its people.
