Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's conversation with lawyers and media at Adiala Jail - January 22, 2025
"To extend Yahya Khan Part 2's hold on power and to cover up the events of May 9th (2023), Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa did not hear our petitions regarding the May 9th false flag operation and the election rigging of February 8th (2024). The worst human rights violations in history were committed against PTI. From Zille Shah to Sami Wazir, there is a long tale of oppression and tyranny against us. We have not been able to get justice from any court across the country. The courts are paralyzed, but even today, the illegitimate government fears that if a judge hears our petitions on human rights violations on merit, they might actually deliver justice. But no matter what they do, it is a divine law that a reign of tyranny and oppression cannot last long.
I am deeply grateful to Saudi Crown Prince HRH Mohammed bin Salman for responding to my appeal and releasing nearly 7,200 poor and deserving Pakistani citizens from Saudi prisons. I have always tried to use my position and influence to improve the lives of ordinary Pakistanis. This was one of the reasons I entered politics, and I will continue to strive for it for as long as I live.
Neither Bushra Bibi nor I have financially benefited from the Al-Qadir Trust in any way. Malik Riaz will testify that I was the only Prime Minister who never sought anything from him for personal or financial gain. Unlike Zardari, I did not have a Bilawal House built for me, nor did I sell One Hyde Park at double its value, like the Sharif family did. The future of Pakistan's youth is important for me, and it was for this reason that Al-Qadir University was established.
They have used every tactic to cause me agony. I strongly condemn the social media campaign launched by our opponents against Bushra Bibi. The opposition has been slinging mud at Bushra Bibi for the past six years just so they can somehow malign my character. Those who claim to be our well-wishers, but become part of their propaganda are not our well-wishers, but are playing into the enemy’s hands by carrying out their mission."
