These buffoons can’t help making blunder after after blunder. According to this logic, neither my mother, nor her parents are Jewish… Incredible levels of stupidity.
The Defence Minister is right. It’s why I have never been considered Jewish by the Jewish community. My mother was a Church of England Protestant. And by this logic, my father was not Jewish either. His mother was a French Catholic. As ever, in attempting to undermine my sons, Pakistan’s Defence Minister has scored an embarrassing own goal.
Cricket legend Imran Khan is rotting to death in a tiny jail cell in Pakistan. It's time Britain used its influence to help free him

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Conversation with Members of his Family - Adiala Jail (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.”

“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.”
ناجائز نظام کی پیداوار فارم 47 کی جعلی وزیر اعلیٰ نے پنجاب کے ساتھ لگنے والے پاکستان کے تینوں دیگر صوبوں کو دہشتگردی کی بنیاد قرار دے دیا ہے اور پاکستان میں ہونے والی دہشتگردی کے حوالے سے مودی اور انڈیا کو کلین چٹ دے دی ہے۔
اس کے بیان نے ریاست پاکستان کے عالمی سطح پر دہشتگردی کے حوالے سے مؤقف کو تباہ کر کے رکھ دیا ہے، اور اس نظام کو بنانے اور چلانے والوں کی سوچ پر بھی مزید سوال کھڑے کر دئیے ہیں !!
یاد رہے کہ پاکستان اور بھارت کی جنگ کے دوران بھی نوازشریف سمیت یہ ٹولہ غائب رہا تھا اور جنگ کے خاتمے تک کوئی بیان نہیں آیا۔اور ڈان لیکس کے زریعے بھی دہشتگردی کا الزام پاکستان پر لگا دیا تھا- یہ ہمیشہ قومی مفاد کے آگے ذاتی مفاد کو ترجیح دیتے ہیں - پاکستان، پاکستانی اور پاکستانی ادارے صرف ان کے لئے تبھی قابل احترام رہتے ہیں جب تک یہ ان کی ذاتی مفادات کا تحفظ کرتے ہیں۔
چھوٹے صوبوں کے خلاف تعصب بھرا لہجہ PMLN کے پاکستان کو تقسیم کرنے کی سوچ کی عکاسی کرتا ہے- لیکن اب تین وفاقی اکائیوں کو دہشتگردی کی بنیاد قرار دے دینا ملک کی بنیادوں کو مزید تباہ کرنے کے مترادف ہے-
ان لوگوں کو 8 فروری 2024 کو ناصرف پاکستان بلکہ پنجاب اور لاہور کی عوام بھی مسترد کر چکے ہیں۔ اس شرمناک شکست کے باوجود ایسی گھٹیا سوچ کے لوگوں کو اقتدار پر بٹھانے اور انگلی پکڑ کر چلانے والوں کے لیے یہ ایک مزید سبق ہے کہ عوام کے ووٹ اور عوام کے فیصلے کی قدر نہ کر کے ملک مضبوط نہیں تباہ ہو جاتے ہیں۔
اقتدار پر قابض ان خطرناک مسخروں کو تو احساس تک نہیں کہ ملک کے سابق وزیراعظم کیخلاف جعلی مقدمات کے اندراج اور ”ڈرٹی ہیری“ اور ”سائیکوپیتھ“ کی اصطلاحات کے استعمال پر بغاوت کے الزامات کے ذریعے یہ عالمی سطح پر پاکستان کے تشخص کو کس بُرے طریقے سے مسخ کررہے ہیں۔
Thank you, Michael Atherton
@Athersmike , for using your voice to stand up for Imran Khan’s health and human rights. Pakistanis will never forget this. A few military-backed stooges may attack you online, but they are a tiny, desperate minority — millions of Pakistanis respect and appreciate you for having the courage to speak the truth.
My sons Sulaiman & @kasim_khan_1999 applied for visas in January (again… ) to allow them to visit their father @ImranKhanPTI in Pakistan. The Pakistan consulate states that online visa processing normally takes 7–10 working days. It has now been 60 days. This despite the public promise that they could safely travel there to see their father after 4 years, made by both Defence Minister @khawajaMAsif to @mehdirhasan & PM spokesperson @mosharrafzaidi to @SkyYaldaHakim
Meanwhile, they are not allowed to speak to him on the phone, nor send him a letter. They haven’t seen him since 2022 after he was shot in an assassination attempt.
This is an appeal directly to Pakisan’s PM @CMShehbaz to please allow Imran Khan’s two sons to see their father asap, particularly since, by all accounts, his health is in decline.
