پڑوسی ملک کو دہشت گردی کے الزام سے بری قرار دینے کا کارنامہ بھی صرف پنجاب کی وزیراعلیٰ سرانجام دے سکتی ہے سندھ، پنجاب یا بلوچستان کا وزیراعلیٰ ایسی بات کردے تو اسکی زندگی عذاب ہو جائے
PCB has given 24 hours to their selectors, asking them to explain why and how Rizwan and Imam-ul Haq were selected for West Indies and England tours. This is insane. Probably why Misbah resigned - it’s a full-blown circus and I feel Babar should stand with the players and coach Sarfaraz who were humiliated and give up captaincy altogether
شوکت خانم ہسپتال اپیل 🚨
عمران خان بدقسمتی سے جیل میں ہے جبکہ شوکت خانم ہسپتال کراچی اس دسمبر میں مکمل کرنا ہوگا جس کے لئے پیسوں کی سخت ضرورت ہے۔
جتنا بھی ممکن ہو شوکت خانم ہسپتال کو ڈونیشن دیں اور اس میسج کو گھر گھر تک پہنچائیں
20 سال تک آپ کی کرکٹ پر راج رہا، کیونکہ آپ کا کپتان عمران خان تھا وہ صرف کپتان نہیں، ایک حقیقی لیڈر تھا۔
اس نے ایک ایسی ٹیم تیار کی جو طویل عرصے تک اپنا اثر قائم رکھتی رہی، لیکن بدقسمتی سے پاکستان کو اس کے بعد دوسرا ایسا لیڈر نصیب نہ ہو سکا۔
میں جب بھارت میں ٹی وی آن کرتا تھا تو ہر طرف صرف ایک ہی نام سنائی دیتا تھا: عمران خان، عمران خان، عمران خان۔
Pakistan threatened Lord’s Test boycott after broadcaster Sky Sports telecast interview with Imran Khan’s two sons which was actually recorded at the Lord’s Long Room a day before the Test. PCB wanted SKY not to air the interview during Lunch break else they wouldn’t take the field post Lunch.
The 18-min interview done by Michael Atherton (one of the 21 captains to sign the letter to Pak PM) was shown and Pak did take the field too

🚨The horror never ends in #Pakistan. Students are not safe. Look at how students are detained without due process or accountability.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?
For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir, which according to the UN, amounts to torture and which is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health.
He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.
The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.
He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.
Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.
Yet those orders are being defied.
This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.
He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.
His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls.
I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father.
@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court; restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.
Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government to please now do the right thing.
“I am being tortured. These people are not human.” - Imran Khan told his sister @DrUzma_KhanPK during their meeting last night at PIMS Hospital, as she revealed at today’s press conference.
As former Pakistani PM Imran Khan marks three years in jail, his family, political party and a prominent international rights group have condemned his solitary detention and demanded a restoration of his constitutional rights.
