“Two years ago, I was asked to step aside for three years and allow the current system to function unchallenged. But I won’t stay silent even for three minutes at the behest of any Yazeed [tyrant].
I am being pressured to accept the 26th Constitutional Amendment, yet my entire struggle has been for the rule of law, and this amendment blatantly violates it.
They demand that I apologize for May 9th (2023). Yet those who owe the nation an apology are the ones who stole CCTV footage, dishonored women, desecrated homes, imprisoned thousands of political workers, and martyred innocent citizens. If even one hour of the May 9th cases were heard on merit, these baseless cases would collapse instantly. The tragedy here is not only the absence of justice, but that not even a semblance of justice is visible.
Nations do not perish under oppression. They are reborn through struggle. The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) endured thirteen of the most difficult years but remained steadfast and was ultimately triumphant. Therefore, following in his footsteps, we too must stand firm as a nation and fight until the very end.
Peaceful protest becomes the only viable path when every door to justice is sealed shut. I call upon the entire nation, including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, to prepare for a nationwide protest.
Rule of law is entirely suspended in Pakistan. Even the dignity of women is no longer secure. My wife, Bushra Bibi, has been in solitary confinement for 14 months over mere allegations of facilitation, without a single proven charge. Dr. Yasmin Rashid, a cancer survivor and an elderly woman, has been shamelessly jailed under false cases. My sisters, aged between 65 and 70, visit me in jail under High Court orders, which is a basic right, but a Colonel obstructs them, flouting court directives with impunity. My sisters are abducted and abandoned in remote areas in the dead of night. A nation that treats its own women this way has lost its moral compass. When Maryam Nawaz was found guilty of owning five undisclosed flats in London, her bail was granted within two months, because the Sharif family had agreed to a deal. Anyone who bows before tyranny gets absolved of all charges, while those who stand on principle are punished without cause.
No foreign investment has come into Pakistan for two years because the world knows that the law here is trampled under a Colonel’s boot. Without investment, there can neither be no economic stability nor development. Investor confidence will remain non-existent as long as judicial orders remain subject to a Colonel’s whims.
The entire nation now looks to the judiciary for justice yet the 26th Amendment has crippled the judiciary.
There are two motives behind this amendment: The first is to protect a rigged election. And secondly, to keep me, PTI leadership, and its workers incarcerated, violating basic human rights without fear of accountability.
There are two direct consequences of this Amendment:
1- The judiciary has entirely surrendered to the executive. The Supreme Court has authorized military courts in direct contradiction of Article 175(3) of the Constitution, which mandates a separation of powers. Special benches are being formed to snatch reserved seats from PTI despite the people voting for us. These seats are being handed to other parties in complete violation of the Constitution.
2- The judiciary is so paralyzed that even High Courts and judges cannot assign cases of their own volition. As a result, I am being denied justice. Sometimes benches for my cases remain incomplete, while hearings are arbitrarily delayed at other times. My cases are deliberately kept in limbo. Even my basic rights under jail regulations are denied—I am not allowed to speak to my children, scheduled meetings with my wife are cancelled, and even my books are withheld. All of this is designed to break my spirit. 1/2
پاکستان 🇵🇰کے ایک ایک انچ کی حفاظت ہمارے ایمان اور میرے حلف کا حصہ ہے۔
پاکستان کی سرزمین غازیوں اور شہداء کی امین ہے اور اس سرزمین پر آج رات بہنے والا معصوموں کا خون ہم پر قرض ہے۔
کامیابی ان شاءاللہ ہمارا مقدر ہو گی۔ نعرہ تکبیر، اللّٰہ اکبر
پاکستان زندہ باد 🇵🇰
