Message to the Pakistani nation by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, from Adiala jail, Rawalpindi:
I commend the Pakistani nation and PTI's political workers, who are fighting for their rights by participating in this peaceful protest, and resolutely standing before the mafia that has imposed itself upon our country, to demand their rights and genuine freedom.
My message for my team is to fight until the last ball is bowled. We will not back down until our demands are met!
On Mohsin Naqvi's instructions, paramilitary Rangers and police relentlessly fired teargas shells and even shot at our political workers, resulting in the martyrdom of and injuries to peaceful, unarmed citizens. Let me tell you, they will have to answer for this!
The protesters were not only peaceful, but they even assisted the very police officers and Rangers who were shooting and firing teargas shells at them (when they were in need of help).
My thanks go to overseas Pakistanis around the globe, who are not only mobilizing Pakistanis and contributing funds, but also holding historic protests in their respective countries.
Social media warriors around the globe should continue to vigorously reiterate our demands and show the world the ongoing oppression in Pakistan!
To those threatening to try me in military court: Do what you must; I will not back down from my stance.
Those who haven't yet joined the protest must also head to D-Chowk.
All Pakistanis participating in the protest must remain peaceful, stay united, and stand firm until our demands are met. Remember, this is a struggle for Pakistan's survival and true freedom!
I dont usually debunk what health-illiterate spiritual gurus mutter about medicine and nutrition, but this video was shared with me for some fact checking and also because it has got millions of views and 60K likes.
And it is utter nonsense.
The video features Jaggi Vasudev, self proclaimed spiritual leader also known as Sadhguru - who was featured in The Joe Rogan podcast (not that it makes him any credible, but it can project his nonsensical takes on healthcare onto millions worldwide)
There are many utterly and absolutely inacurrate claims made in this video.
Claim: There is a poisonous chemical called citatine in brinjal.
Fact: There is no such thing as citatine. Brinjal (or egg plant), along with potatoes and tomatoes belong to the family of nightshade and genus Solanum. Solanum group contain Solanine in the unripe fruit/vegetables. These are natural defences present in these plants against animals. When stored under ambient temperature and when ripe enough, the chances of solanine poisoning is almost zero. Reports of poisoning and fatality were because people consumed bitter green tomatoes or green skin potatoes. Peeling skin of potatoes almost nullifies the risk of solanine poisoning.

Claim: Citatine (actually he must have meant solanine) damages the hypothalamus region of brain.
Fact: There is no evidence to show that solanine affects the hypothalamus region of brain. The most common site of toxicity from solanine is on the gastrointestinal tract - burning sensations in the mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea and nothing on the hypothalamus in the brain.
Claim: Hypothalamus is the important part of the brain which helps in decision making. Poison in brinjal attacks this part and makes you dull.
Fact: The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus are the most critical parts of the human brain for decision making and not hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus helps manage your body temperature, hunger and thirst, mood, sex drive, blood pressure and sleep - and has nothing to do with decision making.

Claim: Eating a whole garlic will kill you.
Fact: No it wont. It will drive away vampires and non-vampires because literally no one can stand that breath. And probably give you a heartburn you'll never forget. Also nobody is going to eat a whole garlic unless it is reality TV where you are getting paid for it.
Claim: If you eat one egg plant (brinjal) a day for a year, you will become a far duller person.
Fact: If you keep listening to people like Jaggi and watch Jaggi videos and enjoy seeing Jaggi dancing during Navaratri, it is more like that you are already a very dull person without any critical thinking skills.
Last point:
The classification of foods into Satvic (pure, light), Rajasic (spicy, stimulating) and Tamasic (heavy, dull - such as Brinjal) is according to the primitive untested observations-based religious mumbo-jumbo from ancient Ayurvedic scriptures which also feature the annoyingly hocus-pocus "hot and cold" foods classification - it is utter nonsense.
Never for a second believe the nutritional pseudoscience of Ayurveda. Many people suffer from Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) because they following this nonsense classification.

Foods are actually classified by origin, chemical composition and predominant function.
Sadhguru Jaggi is not a doctor. He is a conman who speaks good, fluent English, and lies, rather confidently.

You are definitely (and good for humanity) a participant!
Very proud to have supported the Singapore Olympic Foundation Peter Lim Scholarship for the past 10 years.
They are doing fantastic work in youth development and creating opportunities for young people most in need. Let’s continue the good work.
My msg to Pak cricket team today is the same I gave our team in the 1992 World Cup Final. First: enjoy the day as one rarely gets to play in a World Cup final & don't get overawed by it. Second: you will win if you are willing to take risks & can cash in on mistakes by opponents;
For all those spreading rumours about my mtg in Lahore, the reason we returned was bec Lahore was closer & we had already decided not move at night. The only demand I have had for 6 mths is date for early fair & free elections. That will be the ONLY demand if talks are to be held
Congratulations to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on being appointed Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Your friendship & support for Pakistan is invaluable and with your vision you will usher the Kingdom into a new era.

If anyone had any doubts abt US regime change conspiracy this video should remove all doubts as to why a democratically elected PM & his govt were removed. Clearly the US wants an obedient puppet as PM who will not allow Pak choice of neutrality in a European war;
