کربلا زندہ رہے گا
حسین ثاقب
ہمارے سامنے تاریخ کے اوراق سے جو خوں ٹپکتا ہے
ہمیں پیغام دیتا ہے
کہ جب تک نسلِ آدم ہے
حسینی اور یزیدی لشکروں کے لوگ باقی ہیں
تو تب تک کربلا بھی ز��دۂ جاوید ٹھیرا ہے
یہی تاریخ کی زندہ حقیقت ہے
کہ ہر انسان کو اپنی طرح کے کربلا کا سامنا ہوگا
حریصِ کروفر اور ان کی بے جا خواہشوں کو
پورا کرنے والے بھی وہی ہوں گے
وہی قاتل، یزیدِ عصر کے ساتھی وہی ہوں گے
وہی ��قتول ہوں گے بانکپن سے سربکف سینہ سپر
وہ خونیں معرکہ پہلی صدی ہجری کا تھا لیکن
ابھی جاری ہے کیونکہ کربلا زندہ ہے اور زندہ رہے گا
کہ جب تک حق و باطل بر سرِ پیکار ہیں
اور ہر یزیدِ وقت کو للکارنے والے حسینی لوگ باقی ہیں
تو تب تک کربلا زندہ رہے گا
Free Imran Khan! Imran Khan has been left to languish in a Pakistani prison cell for over three years. Today in the House of Commons I presented a petition calling for his release, as well as the release of all political prisoners in Pakistan.

The United States government, with the full support of the Biden administration, was advocating that Pakistan oust President Imran Khan from the government....
Because he didn't support Ukraine.
It's so disgusting.
He's languishing in prison to this very day.
When we first obtained this document, we deemed it too risky to publish in full. For a variety of reasons we don’t need to get into, the risk equation has changed and it’s important this memo be in the historical record.
نادان آدمی کہتا تھا کہ ایران سے جنگ ہوئ امریکہ کی تو خوفناک نتائج نکلیں گے سب کے لئیے۔
یہ کیا بات ہوئ ؟ امن امن کی بات کرنا ؟ اس نادان کو علم ہی نہیں تھا کہ جنگ ہی ہر چیز کا حل ہوتی ہے۔ جنگ امن سے ہزار درجے بہتر ہے۔

“Erasing Khan the living symbol of national pride has proved far more difficult.” https://t.co/5GLVYkqXM1
"If anything, his faith has grown stronger since he's been in prison."

@MirMAKOfficial@hsaqib17@ShamaJunejo And with all the chaos I had firm belief that nothing will happen to Iran. And there you go.. Iran has defined resilience, ghairat. 💚❤️
Pakistan's Imran Khan's unjust imprisonment is not because of any plausible evidence of corruption or criminality.
Its a politically motivated vendetta.
It stems from a personal grudge held by Pakistan's current Army Chief General Asim Munir, there is bad blood between him and Khan, not because of what Khan did wrong, but because of what he tried to do right.
Imran Khan was Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2018 to 2022. In October 2018 he approved the appointment of Lieutenant General Asim Munir as head of the powerful Inter Services Intelligence agency (also known as ISI) but after only about eight months in June 2019 Khan removed him from that powerful post and shifted him to command a corps in Gujranwala.
The military gave no public reason for the sudden change at the time.
Khan has always denied that the decision had anything to do with corruption allegations involving his wife Bushra Bibi. He called such claims completely false, meanwhile some orders have told me that Khan had serious concerns over the Genral "working eigh foriegn services" remember, it was Imran Khan who exposed the massive CIA influence in Pakistan, and called out its operators.
Khan was removed as Prime Minister in April 2022 through a no confidence vote in parliament. He called it an imported regime change backed by hidden forces. Soon after that, (unsurprisingly), Asim Munir was appointed Chief of Army Staff in November 2022.
Khan was then, again unsurprisingly arrested in May 2023 and has been in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi since August 2023. He faces a long list of cases. These including obviously manufactured or flawed accusations that he illegally sold or kept expensive state gifts received as Prime Minister the Toshakhana references.
There is also the cypher case about a secret diplomatic document. Plus charges linked to the violent protests by his supporters on 9 May 2023 when military installations were attacked. Several other graft marriage validity and terrorism related cases were filed too. It all seems like a complex Web of Lawfare and supposition.
Some of the convictions against him have been suspended or overturned on appeal but fresh sentences and pending trials have kept him locked up. As of today, 17th of April 2026, he remains in jail serving time on various "corruption" convictions.
Khan and his party insist all these cases are fake and politically motivated. They point directly at General Asim Munir as the person behind what they describe as selective prosecution and pressure on the courts. Khan has repeatedly said Munir is acting out of personal revenge for being removed as ISI chief years earlier. He has even claimed that Munir is extending this vendetta to harsh treatment of his wife Bushra Bibi who has also spent time in prison on related charges.
Meanwhile, the international community is silent on the detention of a man who would, if polls are believed, sweep into power in a free and fair election in Pakistan.
Ask yourself 2 questions, if Khan was a pro western leader, who hadn't challenged foreign influence and corruption in Pakistan, would he be imprisoned today?
And finally, why is the dubious imprisonment of a globally recognised political leader essentially absent from western headlines?
You decide.
You may not be visible amidst the dazzling lights of diplomatic errands, you may have been forgotten by people you put in power, you may be suffering because of not achieving what you would have wanted but remember
YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS, IN OUR PRAYERS, AND PART OF OUR SMALL STRUGGLES
We will speak for you, pray for you, and do whatever we can because YOU DID WHAT YOU COULD ALL YOUR LIFE!
