The key witness, whose testimony formed the very basis of this case, has been conclusively discredited in court. There is no justification for dragging this case any further, especially since the prosecution’s own witnesses, Brigadier Ahmed and Colonel Rehan, has testified that the documents of the gifts taken from Toshakhana were complete. Yet, despite all evidence and government witnesses being discredited, the hearings continue. If this were not a matter of political vendetta, both Bushra Begum and I should be acquitted of this baseless case within the week. On Thursday, a date was finally set for the Al-Qadir case as well. I still hope that the court, guided by merit and law, will deliver justice in these cases and grant me release from this fabricated charge.
Mohsin Naqvi has done to cricket what Asim Munir has done to Pakistan, left it in ruins. Every institution in Pakistan is currently in a state of collapse. Cricket, the sport that unites and inspires the nation, has suffered steadily since it was placed under the stewardship of Mohsin Naqvi. In 2021, the Pakistan team had defeated India by 10 wickets and was a confident side at that time.
The only way they can win a match is if Asim Munir and Mohsin Naqvi are sent in as opening batsmen, Sikandar Sultan Raja and Qazi Faez Isa are made the on-field umpires, and Dogar is appointed as the third umpire, because under the current setup, this seems to be their only way of winning.
Asim Munir should reflect on everything he has done just to prolong his illegitimate rule.
First, democracy was dismantled, a false flag operation on May 9 was staged to crush the country’s largest political party. Then, on February 8 (2024), the two-thirds majority vote that the people had given to me in the elections was stolen and power was handed over to the same thieves who have done nothing except loot the nation’s wealth. Despite being a dictator, Musharraf still had some degree of public support for two reasons: first, he had freed the media; second, he was holding the country’s two most corrupt families, the Sharifs and the Zardaris accountable. Now, by once again imposing this convicted corrupt mafia on the nation, the country has been pushed back by decades.
Secondly, through the 26th Amendment, the independence of the judiciary has been stripped away, turning it into just another state-controlled institution. Yet, those judges who still stand firm today for the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution are truly commendable. They are the heroes of the entire nation, and the whole country stands behind them for raising the banner of truth even in these most difficult times. On the other hand, those judges who have bowed before Asim Munir will never be forgiven, neither by history, nor by this nation.
Thirdly, the moral order has been dismantled, and human rights are being grievously violated. Innocent citizens have been imprisoned, subjected to military trials, and handed unlawful sentences, all without fear of accountability.
I want to send a message to my party, especially Ali Amin, Barrister Saif, and Barrister Gohar to completely cut off all contact with the establishment. If the establishment has anything to say, let them come to Adiala Jail and speak with me. The more you try to negotiate with them, the more they escalate their cruelty and try to crush our party.
What an inhumane act it is that innocent prisoner Qasim Khokhar, who had been jailed in Gujranwala for two years, was denied timely medical treatment, leading to his death in prison. Previously, several other workers have also died after being released from jail. I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Message – 22 September 2025

“My message for Asim Munir is that, as believers in ‘La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah (There is no God but Allah and Mohammad [Peace Be Upon Him] is His messenger)’ we have pledged that, as long as we are alive, we will not bow down before the cruelty of Yazid or the tyranny of the Pharaoh, because bowing down to any being other than Allah is ‘shirk’ (associating partners with God). The psychological torture being inflicted on me and Bushra Begum in prison is being carried out by Asim Munir, and the sole purpose is to make us break down and submit.
The army did not choose General Yahya Khan to govern the country; rather, he used the army to establish a dictatorship, and unleashed a reign of oppression and tyranny upon the nation. In his greed to rule for ten years, he split our country apart. Today, Asim Munir is also doing the same: using the army to create an atmosphere of lawlessness and fascism in our country.
Asim Munir has left no stone unturned for the extension of his illegitimate rule for ten years. First, he strangled democracy. By staging the false flag of May 9th (2023) he attempted to crush the country’s largest political party. Then, on February 8th (2024), when people voted in large numbers for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to give the party a clean sweep, that election was shamelessly stolen. The people’s mandate was taken and handed to convicted criminals. After that, the judiciary was incapacitated and, through the 26th Amendment, judges were subjugated. The judiciary has been turned into nothing but a subordinate department of the government.
Thirdly, restrictions were placed on the freedom of the media. The notion of a free press in Pakistan has been eradicated. The tenuous hold of democracy that existed in Pakistan — consisting, to some degree, of an independent judiciary and a free media — has been terminated by Asim Munir. Democracy in the country is suspended, human rights violations are at their peak, the judiciary is subservient, and the media is intimidated.
Ever since Asim Munir took over as Army Chief, he has been attempting to sour relations with Afghanistan. Upon taking office, he first issued threats to Afghanistan, then expelled Afghan nationals who had lived here for three generations, followed by drone strikes there, making every effort to provoke them into fighting Pakistan, creating a climate of terrorism. He is doing this to portray himself as a “mujahid” (warrior) to lobbies in the West that oppose the current Afghan government, in order to convince them that he is the one who can fight the war against terrorism.
Because of this oppression, Pakistan’s economy is experiencing historically slow growth. Foreign investment is virtually zero. Never in Pakistan’s history has investment been as low as it is at this time. In three years the national debt has doubled. Every Pakistani is now trapped in a quagmire of debt. Until a government of the people is established, it will not be possible to solve the country's economic challenges.
The extent of moral decay in our country is unprecedented. Atrocities have been inflicted upon people here that are not even seen in wartime. Women have been dragged in the streets, children have been seized and harassed, and the sanctity of the elderly has been violated. Never before have any politician's non-political female relatives been treated as badly as my wife and other family members have been. When a state is handed over to thieves and plunderers, tales of whose corruption every child knows, morality is bound to be destroyed like this.”

“The leaked Commonwealth report about the elections of February 8th (2024) has once again revealed the brazen electoral fraud used to shamelessly steal our mandate. According to the Commonwealth, this report had already been officially submitted to the Government of Pakistan, yet individuals like Sikandar Sultan Raja, who are utterly devoid of conscience, played a central role not only in facilitating electoral theft but also in concealing it. The law in Pakistan prescribes severe punishment for election fraud: Article 6 of the Constitution applies. However, every law in our country is currently rendered meaningless, except the ‘Asim Law’.
Individuals like Liaquat Chattha are commendable who prioritized the voice of their conscience over jobs and titles. After this theft, a massacre was perpetrated, and the 26th Constitutional Amendment was imposed. The judges who spoke up against the amendment also deserve to be appreciated.
The time for accepting a government that originated from a rigged election as legitimate is over. That is why resignations from the Senate and parliamentary committees have been tendered.
My message to my party's parliamentarians is to neither fear the ‘Asim Law’ imposed upon the country, nor the prospect of imprisonment. A single individual seeks to crush you merely to satisfy his own lust for power. The more you fear them, the more they will suppress you. You are standing on the side of truth, and truth gives man courage. Victory belongs only to the truth.”

“اڈیالہ میں میرا نام نہاد ٹرائل کوئی جج نہیں ایک ISI کا کرنل چلوا رہا ہے، جو آرمی چیف عاصم منیر سے ہدایات لیتا ہے۔ یہ سول نہیں ملٹری ٹرائل ہے۔
پاکستان میں اس وقت جو بھی ہو رہا ہے عاصم لاء کے تحت ہو رہا ہے اور مسلسل آئین و قانون کی دھجیاں اڑائی جا رہی ہیں۔ مجھ پر تین سو سے زائد بے بنیاد مقدمات درج کیے گئے جن کا میں سامنا کر رہا ہوں اور کوئی ڈیل کیے بغیر عدالتوں سے انصاف لے کر ہی باہر آؤں گا۔ ہماری جماعت پر ہر طرح کا ظلم ڈھایا گیا۔ اگر میرٹ پر فیصلہ کیا جائے تو میں اور میری اہلیہ آج ہی رہا ہو جائیں۔ میرے اور میری اہلیہ بشرٰی بیگم کے تمام انسانی حقوق پامال ہیں۔ ہمیں عام قیدی والی سہولیات سے بھی محروم رکھا گیا ہے، میری کتابیں تک روک لی جاتی ہیں آٹھ ماہ میں صرف ایک بار میری بچوں سے بات کروائی گئی۔ ججوں کی میرے مقدمات میں کوئی حیثیت نہیں نہ میرے مقدمات کا ٹرائل جج آزادانہ طور پر کر سکتے ہیں بلکہ ایک کرنل جو کہتا ہے وہی فیصلہ کرتے ہیں۔ وہ کرنل عاصم منیر کے احکامات پر چلتا ہے۔
میں اپنی تمام پارٹی کو کہتا ہوں کہ آپ سب متحد رہیں ظلم کا نظام زیادہ دیر قائم نہیں رہے گا�� آپ سب کے لیے لازم ہے کہ میری ٹویٹ کو ری ٹویٹ کریں تاکہ میرے پیغام پر اتحاد قائم رہے۔
خیبرپختونخوا میں ایک گرینڈ جلسے کا اعلان کیا جائے جس میں پورے ملک سے لوگ شریک ہوں اور اس سیاہ رات کے خلاف کھڑے ہوں-“

“My so-called trial in Adiala Jail is not being conducted by a judge but by an ISI Colonel, who takes instructions directly from the Army Chief, Asim Munir. This is a military trial, not a civilian one.
Everything in Pakistan today is being done under Asim Law, with the Constitution and legal framework in shreds. Over three hundred fabricated cases have been registered against me, all of which I am facing. I will emerge with justice from the courts without making any deal. Every form of oppression has been inflicted upon our party. My wife and I would be freed today if cases were decided on merit. All our human rights have been violated. We are deprived even of the basic facilities granted to ordinary prisoners. My books are withheld, and in eight months I was allowed to speak to my children only once. The judges in my cases hold no authority; they cannot conduct the trials independently. Their decisions are dictated by a Colonel, who merely executes the orders of Asim Munir.
I instruct my entire party to remain united. This oppressive system cannot endure for long. It is essential that all of you retweet posts from my account, in a clear message of unity and alignment.
A grand public rally must be announced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where participants from across the country can stand together against the darkness that engulfs us.”

“افغانوں اور قبائلی عوام کے ساتھ بھی نو مئی کی طرز پر ہی ایک فالس فلیگ رچایا جا رہا ہے۔ جب سے عاصم منیر کو چارج ملا ہے افغانستان کے ساتھ تعلقات جان بوجھ کر بگاڑے جا رہے ہیں اور انہیں مسلسل پاکستان سے جنگ شروع کرنے پر اکسایا جا رہا ہے، تاکہ موجودہ افغان حکومت کی مخالف لابی کو خوش کیا جائے اور مغرب کے سامنے ایک “نجات دہندہ” بننے کی کوشش کی جائے-
سب سے پہلے افغان حکومت کو سنگین دھمکیاں دی گئیں، پھر مذہبی، اخلاقی اور پناہ گزینوں کے عالمی حقوق کی خلاف ورزی کرتے ہوئے تین نسلوں سے پاکستان میں ��قیم افغان بھائیوں کو دھکے دے کر ملک سے نکالا گیا، اس کے بعد افغانستان کی سرزمین پر حملے کیے گئے اور اب یہ کہہ کر کہ “دہشت گرد آ گئے ہیں” قبائلی علاقوں میں آپریشن لانچ کر دئیے گئے۔
ان پالیسیوں کی وجہ سے ہر جانب ہمارے ہی لوگ شہید ہو رہے ہیں- پولیس اہلکار، فوجی اور عام بے گناہ لوگ ��و شہید ہو رہے ہیں سب ہمارے اپنے ہیں۔ اس طرز عمل سے کبھی امن قائم نہیں ہوتا، پائیدار امن ہمیشہ بات چیت سے قائم ہوتا ہے۔
اب افغانستان اور قبائلی علاقوں میں امن کے قیام کے لیے تین فریقوں کو ساتھ لے کر چلنا ناگزیر ہو گیا ہے۔ سب سے پہلے پاکستان کے قبائلی علاقوں کی عوام، دوسری افغان حکومت، اور تیسری افغانستان کی عوام- ان تین فریقین کی مدد کے بغیر کوئی کامیاب آپریشن یا پائیدار حل نہیں ہو سکتا۔
خیبر پختونخوا میں جو کچھ کرنے کی کوشش ہے وہ صرف تحریک انصاف کی حکومت کو غیر مقبول کرنے کے لیے ہے۔ ملٹری آپریشن سے دہشتگردی مزید بڑہے گی اور جب پولیس اسی بڑھتی ہوئی دہشتگردی کو ک��ٹرول کرنے میں لگے گی تو گورننس اور امن و امان کا بیڑا غرق ہو جائے گا- ایسی ہی پالیسی اے این پی کی حکومت کے دور میں بھی اپنائی گئی تھی۔
خیبر پختونخوا کے تمام ایم پی ایز، ایم این ایز اور سینیٹرز وزیراعلی کے ساتھ بیٹھ کر وہاں کے مسائل کا جلد سے جلد حل نکالیں۔ خصوصی طور پر جن علاقوں میں سیلاب آیا ہے وہاں امن قائم رکھنے کے لیے خصوصی اقدامات کیے ��ائیں۔
ہمارے اتحادی محمود خان اچکزئی کی قیادت میں ایک امن وفد لے کر افغانستان جائیں اور وہاں بات چیت سے مسائل کا حل تلاش کریں”

“کامن ویلتھ کی 8 فروری کے الیکشن پر جو رپورٹ لیک ہوئی ہے اس نے بھی انتخابی دھاندلی کا پول کھول دیا ہے کہ کیسے بےشرمی اور ڈھٹائی سے ہمارا مینڈیٹ چوری کیا گیا۔
کامن ویلتھ کے مطابق یہ رپورٹ پہلے ہی سرکاری سطح پر حکومت پاکستان کو دے دی گئی تھی مگر یہاں سکندر سلطان راجہ جیسے بے ضمیر لوگ ہیں جنھوں نے انتخابی چوری کی سہولت کاری سمیت اس پر پردہ ڈالنے میں بھی بھرپور کردار ادا کیا- پاکستان میں ووٹ چوری کا قانون سخت ہے اور ایسا کرنے پر آرٹیکل 6 کا نفاذ ہوتا ہے- لیکن ملک میں اس وقت عاصم لا کے سوا سب قانون ختم ہو چکے ہیں۔
یہاں پر لیاقت چٹھہ جیسے لوگ قابل تحسین ہیں جنہوں نے اپنے عہدے پر ضمیر کی آواز کو ترجیح دی۔ اس چوری کے بعد عوام کا قتل عام کیا گیا اور چھبیسویں آئینی ترمیم کی گئی۔ اس ترمیم کے خلاف بھی جن ججز نے آواز بلند کی وہ تعریف کے قابل ہیں۔
دھاندلی پر قائم حکومت کو قانونی طور پر قبول کرنے کا وقت اب ختم ہو چکا ہے۔ اسی لیے سینیٹ اور پارلیمانی کمیٹیوں سے استعفے دئیے گئے ہیں۔
اپنے ارکان پارلیمنٹ کو پیغام دینا چاہتا ہوں کہ ملک میں نافذ عاصم لاء سے بالکل نہ گھبرائیں نہ ہی جیل سے گھبرائیں۔ایک فرد واحد اپنے اقتدار کی ہوس کو پورا کرنے کی خاطر آپ کو د��انا چاہتا ہے۔ آپ جتنا ان سے ڈریں گے یہ اتنا ہی آپ کو دبائیں گے۔ آپ حق پر ہیں اور حق اور سچ انسان کو بہادر بناتا ہے، اور حق کی ہی فتح ہوتی ہے”

“I am a believer in ‘La Ilaha Illallah’ (There is no god but Allah). This declaration liberates a believer from every form of fear and slavery. My life is in the hands of Allah, not in the hands of Asim Munir. Our faith alone is the guarantor of our ‘Haqeeqi Azadi (True Freedom)’, for it grants the strength to break free from the chains of fear.
I continue to be held in solitary confinement in an effort to break me. My personal doctors have not been permitted to examine me for one year. Access to newspapers and television is blocked for weeks at a time. Even family members and lawyers are barred from meeting me. I have not been allowed to meet my political colleagues for a year and a half. My message to Asim Munir is this: no matter how much pressure you put on me, or which of my family members you throw into prison, I will neither bow down nor accept this oppression. I will continue my struggle for true freedom, come what may.
In an attempt to appease the lobby that opposes the current government in Afghanistan, Asim Munir, in his short-sightedness, is destroying the peace that was established in the region during our tenure. Where there should have been a strong relationship, things are being made worse. It grieves me deeply that after decades of hospitality, our Afghan brothers are now being forcibly pushed out of the country. At a time when Afghanistan has been struck by an earthquake, we ought to be helping them, not expelling them.
I direct Ali Amin Gandapur to go to Afghanistan, sit with them, and hold discussions regarding mutual issues and peace and security so that the situation can be prevented from deteriorating further. The sham federal government must answer: if Maryam Nawaz can travel to Japan and Thailand, why should the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa not be able to travel to Afghanistan for peace in his province?
The ongoing military operations, drone strikes, and forced displacements of our own people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are, in reality, an attempt to undermine Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s government that was formed with a public mandate. Ali Amin Gandapur must firmly resist this operation. The people of the province are already devastated by floods. If drone strikes and military operations are not stopped, it will be a grave injustice. Already, many of our police personnel have embraced martyrdom. As long as this operation continues, the hardships of the people will increase, and terrorism will intensify further.
At this moment, the entire country is submerged in floods. People have suffered immense losses because of these floods in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The whole nation must unite to confront this situation. I would surely be conducting fundraising and telethons if I were not in prison. From here, I call upon my nation to contribute generously and wholeheartedly to relief efforts for the assistance of flood victims.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf must also fully participate in the protest against the attack on the political gathering in Balochistan.”
