The 8th of February 2024 will be remembered as a dark day in Pakistan's history, as the nation's mandate was taken away by an illegitimate government and its handlers. We will neither forget nor forgive those who seized the mandate from the nation.
#8FebBlackDay
I usually don’t comment on Pakistani politics. I disagree with IK on many political issues. But this is not about politics- it’s about my children’s father, his human rights & international law. For the past few years, I’ve been bullied & harassed into silence by PML-N goons, including rape threats & countless conspiracy theories. Meanwhile Twitter/ X is banned in Pakistan, PTI party members & civilian supporters have been abducted, anyone with a platform who was speaking out is now in jail & silenced, Imran Khan’s photo and name have been censored on state television (they have even redacted his image from any coverage of Pakistan’s World Cup win of 92!)
I owe it to my children to try to create some awareness about what is happening in Pakistan. Please help in any way that you can. Thank you.
Message from Imran Khan’s ex wife @Jemima_Khan
“In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition to cutting off in- person visits, and in defiance of a court order, his weekly calls to his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, who are British and who live in London, were stopped on 10th September. We have received reports that the authorities have now turned off the lights and electricity in his cell and he is no longer allowed to leave his cell at any time. The jail cook has been sent on leave. He is now completely isolated, in solitary confinement, literally in the dark, with no contact with the outside world. His lawyers are concerned about his safety and well-being.
These actions come in the context of ongoing targeting of Imran’s family, as well as his party (PTI) members and supporters in an attempt to silence them and all political opposition in Pakistan. Imran’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. More recently, Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak out on his behalf, have also been arrested as they made their way peacefully to a demonstration and they are currently being held in jail, despite there being no proper or lawful basis for their imprisonment.
In June this year the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Imran is unlawfully and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.
As a matter of urgency , we are calling for Imran Khan’s release, and for the release of his sisters and nephew as well as for his sons’ contact with their father to be re-established, so that they may have assurance first-hand that he is well and not being mistreated.”

“Before investigating any matter, the FIA should apologize to me for fabricating a baseless case against me like the cipher case.
After the cipher, as Prime Minister, I conveyed a demarche to the Americans to protect Pakistan's sovereignty and to make my nation proud, and I presented the facts to my people.
My message to my nation was clear: we are a sovereign and dignified nation that will never accept interference in our internal affairs.
The cipher was actually sent to General Bajwa to topple my elected democratic government.
General Bajwa colluded with thieves for an extension of his tenure and imposed them on the nation.
I take responsibility for the posts made on my X (Twitter) account, but being in jail, I could not watch the video before it was uploaded.
Today, I was shown the video which contains the content of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report.
Had I seen the video before uploading, I would have made a few minor changes to make the message more effective.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report covers the causes, reasons, and characters involved in a tragic event in our national history.
The two main objectives of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report were to identify those responsible for the tragedy and to point out mistakes.
I referred to the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report so that we could learn from past mistakes.
In the context of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report, the criticism of General Yahya Khan is based on his political decision-making.
General Yaqub and Admiral Ahsan, stationed in East Pakistan, advised Yahya Khan against military action in East Pakistan, for which they had to resign.
The constitution binds the military to stay completely out of politics so they can perform their professional duties without facing criticism.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report clearly states that General Yahya Khan was fully engaged in political decision-making.
Political decisions are criticized worldwide, and democracy fully protects such criticism.
A military head is not elected or appointed through a referendum, so it is in the military's best interest, as mandated by the constitution, to keep itself and its leadership away from politics and political decisions.
When a military head gets involved in politics or makes political decisions, he steps out of his position and into the political arena.
Yahya Khan's decision of not transferring power to a government with a decisive majority and public mandate, and letting the country face a tragic incident, were his decisions.
The situation rapidly deteriorated into internal chaos and division because the public mandate was not respected, resulting in the country's split.
Pakistan and its military paid a heavy price for Yahya Khan's involvement and interest in political decision-making.
After making political decisions and getting deeply involved in politics, it was impossible for General Yahya Khan to hide behind the military, so both the Hamoodur Rahman Commission and history have critically evaluated his role.
The extraordinary similarity between the events of the 1970s and today's situation is a cause for concern for every sensible Pakistani.
In the 1970s, the country was divided; today, our economy is in ruins with minimal chances of improvement,
The attempt to revive the economy through the SIFC has failed miserably.
Crushing the country's largest and most publicly mandated party through lawlessness will not improve the economy.
The FIA should investigate who abducted Azhar Mashwani's brothers and for what crime.
Social media workers are our heroes and assets of the nation, and the harassment of them and their families should stop.
The chances of economic improvement will only arise when the public mandate is respected, and decision-making is entrusted to democratically elected representatives with the public mandate”- Imran Khan.
عمران خان نے 1971 میں مشرقی پاکستان میں فوجی آپریشن کے بارے میں کوئی نئی بات نہیں کی وہ یہ باتیں 2011 میں بھی کر چکے ہیں ان کا 2011 میں بھی یہ کہنا تھا کہ ہمیں ماضی کی غلطیوں سے سبق سیکھنا چاہئیے اور اپنے لوگوں کے خلاف فوجی آپریشن نہیں کرنے چاہئیں

Chairman Imran Khan had already intimated the nation about the London Plan on numerous occasions. With absconder Nawaz Sharif’s return, the plan appears to be unfolding as anticipated.
State protocol, public resources, and use of public money to facilitate a convict can’t sway the public’s opinion who want nothing less than immediate, free, and fair elections.
