Imran Khan talked with journalists in Adiyala jail. He expressed his views clearly and gave a message to the nation.
I remind my nation of the two assassination attempts on my life in Wazirabad and the Judicial Complex. ISI stole the CCTV footage from the Wazirabad incident, where I was attacked, and took control of it at night. Now, they are nervous and have increased prison restrictions. They sarcastically changed the staff responsible for ensuring my food wasn’t poisoned, now for the fourth time.
My cell is unbearably hot, causing me to sweat, yet I do not seek relief. ISI controls all jail administration. If anything happens to me, I hold the Army Chief and DG ISI responsible. Bushra Begum has been dealing with rats in her room for three months, and she informed the court.
I postponed themeeting (Tarnol Jalsa) for reasons unrelated to any connection with the establishment. This government runs on lies, and I don’t engage with their news. I have no contact with the establishment; if I ever do, it will be solely for the country and the constitution.
You ask me to forget the fraudulent election, just as Israel tells Palestine to forget the past. But peace comes from justice. The people of East Pakistan demanded justice, not conflict. True national reconciliation requires justice; you can control sheep with sticks, but not humans.
What happened in Bangladesh occurred because the people rose for their rights. Military operations in Europe show that people’s will cannot be suppressed. Furthermore, The nation rejected your February 8 statement.
People love the army because they protect us. The false flag operation before the February 8 election, disguised as a May 9 event, led to torture and the banning of our party. Yet, the people rejected every narrative.
The Government of Form 47 shows no interest in reforming institutions. instead, they take loans, driving inflation. Their assets are abroad, so they remain disconnected from Pakistan’s growth. Multinationals and professionals are leaving the country, causing unemployment and more inflation. Additionally, The CEO of Shaukat Khanum stated that the organization struggles due to the departure of professionals.
Only a government with a mandate can plan and reform. However, They label critics as digital terrorists. When they cut internet service, people protested. Now, the nation blames a specific organization for these problems. I am deeply concerned about Pakistan, my life is tied to this country. I have no assets abroad and cannot negotiate like Zardari or Nawaz Sharif. Furthermore, The army belongs to all of us, and the country needs strong institutions, what is happening now is suicide.
Mohsin Naqvi acquired a $5 million property in Dubai under his wife’s name and played a role in the wheat scandal. Moreover, He orchestrated the biggest fraudulent election in the country’s history. What qualifies him?
They have ruined cricket, and the law and order situation has worsened across the country. Every day, we see martyrdoms in KP and Balochistan. The Punjab Police have targeted Tehreek-e-Insaf, empowering thieves and dacoits who now martyr and kidnap police officers. Adviser Mohsin Naqvi has been under NAB investigation since 2008. They have destroyed cricket, a sport cherished by the entire nation. For the first time, the top T20 teams failed to qualify for the World Cup. Recently, we lost badly in a Test match against Bangladesh, making history for the wrong reasons. Just two and a half years ago, this team defeated India by 10 wickets. Now, they have declined so much that they lost to Bangladesh by ten wickets. I hold one institution responsible for this downfall.
