“Those who stole the people’s mandate are gripped by fear. It is because of this fear that oppression against us is intensifying. My wife and I are being held in solitary confinement. We are being subjected to mental torture in an attempt to break my resolve and make me abandon my ideology. The goal of these attempts to break me is nothing but to suppress the voice of the people. Yahya Khan had adopted this very approach at the time of the Fall of Dhaka.Blinded by his lust to prolong his rule, he unleashed every form of fascism to suppress the people’s voice, and ultimately broke the country apart. All of this is documented in the Hamood-ur-Rehman Commission Report. Today, Asim Munir is also resorting to oppression to extend his rule, making the country weaker. However, the difference between 1971 and the situation today is the awareness among the masses. Social media has unveiled all the truths before the nation, and the people have learned to rise for their rights against tyranny. That is why this oppressive system will soon crumble. It is time for the people’s voice to be heard. The country is facing widespread devastation due to floods. Pakistan’s economy was already in shambles, and now,as a result of the extensive flooding, people’s crops and livestock have been destroyed. This has wiped out the agricultural economy and its effects will be felt across the entire nation. In such circumstances, it is essential that relief efforts in flood-affected areas be carried out without discrimination, with everyone playing their part. If I were not in prison, I would certainly have organized a telethon and fundraising campaign for this cause. Government institutions alone cannot tackle a disaster of this scale; every citizen must contribute so that we may confront it collectively as a nation. To prevent future destruction from floods, large-scale plantation of trees must be undertaken urgently. I strongly condemn the attack on the death anniversary of Akhtar Mengal’s father in Balochistan and extend my condolences to him. The situation in Balochistan is deteriorating with each passing day because the people’s elected representatives are not allowed to govern. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf must fully participate in Mehmood Achakzai’s call for strike on September 8th. The people of Balochistan deserve to be freed from terrorism and the hybrid system imposed upon them. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, an operation has been launched to weaken the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The provincial government must immediately put an end to it. I give special instructions to Ali Amin Gandapur that since the people of the province are already suffering due to the floods, this operation must be firmly resisted and stopped. It is the responsibility of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to halt the drone strikes occurring in the tribal districts. Safeguarding the lives and property of the people is the duty of our government. The earthquake in Afghanistan has left my heart deeply grieved, and I am pained that at a time of such hardship, we are forcibly expelling our Muslim brothers from the country. In this difficult hour, we should be standing with them. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government must also extend help to our Afghan brothers.” Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s conversation with family members and lawyers in Adiala Jail (September 5, 2025)
