On the Cipher, the Coverup, and the Consequences:
Drop Site News published a document, claiming that it is the original Cipher I-0678 dated 7 March 2022, and it came from a military source. The world now believes that this is the smoking gun. Let's dissect it from there.
Pakistan's establishment spent four years suppressing, prosecuting people over it, claiming that it did not exist. The truth was forced out not from within Pakistan, but by an American investigative outlet. That fact alone is the indictment.
Donald Lu told Pakistan's Ambassador plainly: “All will be forgiven in Washington”, if the no-confidence motion against PM @ImranKhanPTI succeeded, while warning of isolation if it did not. This was not diplomacy. It was a threat and a bribe, delivered in the same breath, to a sovereign nation's ambassador. The NSC in its two meetings clearly stated that this amounted to unacceptable and blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan and that the Govt. rightly issued a démarche.
On 12 May 2022, I as President formally wrote to CJP Umar Bandial requesting a Judicial Commission, open hearings, full investigation and truth be placed on record. This was published in all newspapers. (Please read the letter below, every word carries historic weight in world affairs of this nature).
CJP received that letter. Did not comment. Did not act. The judiciary's silence marked the beginning of its institutional surrender. Had that Commission been constituted, these questions would have been answered under oath: who received the cipher, who acted upon it, who domestically facilitated the foreign signal, and which institutions of the Pakistani state collaborated in the removal of an elected prime minister.
Pakistan would have had the truth. A man who warned the nation would not have been imprisoned on false charges arising from the very document the state refused to investigate. Instead, the nation got four years of compounding ruin.
A regime was not merely changed but democracy was dismantled, piece by piece, demolished with full institutional complicity at every level. Parliament was reduced to a 'stinking chamber of convenience'. PTI commanding the largest popular mandate in Pakistan's history had its electoral symbol stolen, its seats brazenly allocated to others by judicial decree, all to hand a 17-seat party, a fraudulent two-thirds majority.
PTI's workers were tried in military courts. Its voters were disenfranchised. Its leader imprisoned — on charges arising from the very document the state refused to examine. The 26th & 27th Amendments were coercively passed, turning the judiciary into a handmaiden of the executive, an instrument of crooked consolidation rather than a guardian of rights.
Now count the human cost. 44% of our people are below the poverty line, 105 million people that is 20 million more than in 2019. Real incomes have collapsed. GDP growth of barely 3% cannot keep pace with population, let alone absorb new labour. Terrorism is at its highest. Capital is leaving, not arriving. 22 million young Pakistanis are neither working nor studying, 25 million children are out of school. The direction is unambiguous: Pakistan is getting poorer, faster than ever.
These are not statistics. These are children going to bed hungry. Young men drowning on boats to shores that may kill them, because their own country is pushing them out. Mothers choosing between medicine and bread. Every single one of these human beings is a direct, traceable, forensic consequence of the decision made in April 2022 to subvert the democratic mandate of the Pakistani people. This is not an act of God. It is the price of a conspiracy with all its collaborators naked before the people.
Donald Lu issued a threat. He did not remove a government. Pakistanis removed a Pakistani government. General Bajwa in uniform. Some in robes. Some in ‘dastaar’. Corrupt politicians, some with deep pockets from Dubai. They chose a foreign signal over the people and the constitution they had sworn to protect. The perpetrators were not only foreign but local. Let that be stated plainly and permanently on the record.
To those who say, "this is the past, let us move forward", I say that: There is no investment without rule of law. There is no rule of law without an independent judiciary. And there is no independent judiciary that can be built upon the foundations of predominantly crooked judges. The path forward runs through the truth, not around it.
Pakistan's economic misery, its institutional decay, total corruption, national termites eating up everything, none of it is an act of God. It is the direct and traceable consequence of a criminal regime change, facilitated from without and executed from within.
The contents of the cipher as reported are now public. The record is clear. The usurpers remain in power orchestrating my country's misery. The only reasonable and just way forward is unambiguous: LEAVE and let my people LIVE.
It pains me to invoke Iqbal for those who betrayed this nation, but this verse is timeless:
جعفر از بنگال و صادق از دکن
ننگِ آدم، ننگِ دیں، ننگِ وطن
Jaffer of Bengal, Sadiq of Deccan,
Disgrace to humanity, disgrace to faith, disgrace to country.
The cipher has spoken. Now Pakistan must. 🇵🇰
🚨BREAKING: For the first time, the original Pakistani cypher — cable I-0678, the document that triggered the removal of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan — is being released in full by Drop Site.
The story of the cypher points toward one man: General Bajwa.
He misled both Pakistan and the United States — portraying the elected PM to US officials as “anti-US” and hostile to American interests, while inside Pakistan he worked to orchestrate a Vote of No Confidence by engineering alliances and buying loyalties. The objective? Install a compliant puppet setup and secure his own extension. Pakistan paid the price for this extension game.
واہ پنکی واہ۔ ایسا تھپڑ مارا ہے کہ مدتوں یاد رہے گا۔
ننگے کو مزید ننگا کر دیا ہے۔ اور پوری دنیا کہ سامنے عیاں کر دیا کہ یہ کتنے گرے ہوئے ہیں۔ انکا کوئی اصول نہیں۔ ان کا کوئی ایمان نہیں۔ یہ بد بخت اللہ کا نام لیتے ہے۔ لیکن ہیں یہ شیطان کے چیلے۔
My latest for the Washington Post on Imran Khan. The legendary cricketer and politician Pakistan can jail, censor but never erase. @PostOpinions

احسن اقبال آپ کی ساری زندگی جھوٹ پر مبنی ہے۔ میں نے وقت لیا آپ کو جواب دینے میں۔ کچھ لحاظ کے تقاضے تھے۔ مگر اب جواب دے رہا ہوں۔ نواز شریف کی جس ترقی کے سفر کا ڈھول آپ پیٹ رہے ہیں اس نے ملک کو تباہ کر دیا۔ آج پاکستان اس قرضوں کے جال میں ان کی غلط پالیسی اور آپ جیسے پلاننگ کے مشیروں کی وجہ پھنسا ہوا ہے۔ دو پراجیکٹ جس کے لیے وہ کریڈٹ مانگتے ہیں وہ پاکستان کا ناسور تھے۔ پہلا لوڈ شیڈنگ کو ختم کرنے کے لیے پہلے نوے کی دہائ اور پھر اپنی تیسری گورنمنٹ (2014-15) میں کیے آئ پی پی کے کرپٹ معاہدے تھے۔ اس میں ریاست کا مفاد نہی دیکھا گیا اور ان سیٹھوں کو جو یا رشتہ دار تھے یا پارٹنر نوازا گیا۔ اب بھی ہم ان کو دو ہزار ارب سالانہ سے زیادہ منافع دے رہے ہیں چاہے وہ اک یونٹ بھی بجلی نہ بنائیں۔ چھیالیس ہزار میگا واٹ بجلی کی کہیسیٹی ہے مگر پچیس بھی نہی بنا پا رہے۔ اس جرم کا کون زمہ دار ہے۔ دوسرا جو سڑکوں کا جال بنانے کا تمغہ لیا جاتا ہے۔ مودی نے اسی ہزار کلومیٹر سڑکیں بھارت میں بنائیں مگر اپنے پیسے سے۔ ہم نے اس کے مقابلے بہت کم بنایا مگر ڈالر کے قرضے میں۔ میں مال بنانے کا الزام نہی لگا رہا مگر ملک اس وقت ان دو بڑے پراجیکٹ کی وجہ سے قرضے کے جال میں پھنسا ہے۔ ہمارا ڈیبٹ یعنی قرضہ بحران جس سے ہمارا کرنٹ اکائونٹ، تجارتی اور بجٹ خسارے جنم لیتے ہیں۔ یہ کہنا کہ موقع نہی ملا۔ کتنا موقع چاہیے۔ پچھلے چار سال سے پورا موقع تھا۔ نہ عدالت نہ اپوزیشن نہ پارلیمان نہ میڈیا۔ ایسا موقع تو آمریت میں نہی ملا۔ کیا کیا آپ نے۔ قرضے چتالیس ہزار ارب سے اسی ہزار ارب تک ہو گئے۔ پاکستان کی تاریخ چھوڑیں مونجھوداڑو کے زمانے سے پنتالیس فیصد غربت پانچ دریاؤں کے دھرتی میں نہی دیکھی گئ۔ بائیس فیصد بیروزگاری۔ پچاس سال میں پہلی دفعہ ساری بڑی فصلوں میں گراوٹ۔ اس پر بھی آپ شرمندہ نہی بلکہ جھوٹ بول رہے ہیں کہ ہمیں موقعہ نہی ملا۔ اگر میرے کسی خیال سے اختلاف ہو تو میں کئ دفعہ آپ کو ٹی وی پر بلا چکا کہ مجھے غلط ثابت کر لیں۔ محظ پراپیگنڈا نہ کریں۔ مزید جواب پر میں پھر حاظر ہوں۔ اب اس جواب کو کتنا تھراٹل کروائیں گیں۔
Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN#HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN@ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained
“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
Illegally Incarcerated Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, speaking to his sons on phone from Adiala Jail - (March 21, 2026)
Yesterday I spoke to my father. He asked me to relay the following message:
“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges.
