Asim Munir is doing to Pakistan what Mohsin Naqvi has done to cricket.

USPA NEWS - Asim Munir has an insatiable hunger for power, which is why he has imposed the worst form of dictatorship. Instead of demanding that I apologize, Asim Munir should apologize to me. The events of May 9th (2023) were orchestrated by the same person who stole the CCTV footage. At present, May 9th has become Asim Munir’s insurance policy.

It is not a hybrid system that is in place in our country, but the dictatorship of Asim Munir. That is precisely why (President) Trump invited him instead of Shehbaz Sharif.

In their extreme fascism and oppression, they continue to target non-political members of my family. My two nephews, Shahrez and Shershah Khan, have been abducted despite having no involvement in politics. My nephew Shahrez Khan, who is an excellent athlete, was forcibly taken away.

I am being held in complete solitary confinement. Over a period of three months, I have been allowed only three meetings. Even meetings with my lawyers and family are blocked for months at a time. All of this is being done to pressure me.

For the past eight months, my wife, Bushra Bibi, has also been held in solitary confinement. Such treatment of women is unprecedented in the history of Pakistan, not even under Yahya Khan.

Faisal Vawda, who acts as a mouthpiece of the establishment, issued statements that Bushra Bibi would seek separation from me. She was pressured to do so, but she stood firmly by my side. Previously, when Asim Munir was removed from the post of DG ISI, he attempted to contact Bushra Bibi through Zulfi Bukhari, but she refused. That is why she is being subjected to such cruel treatment today. She is kept in solitary confinement under deplorable conditions, where she has suffered electric shocks and physical wounds. She is provided polluted water to use. Every form of cruelty is being inflicted upon her.

Asim Munir is behind all this. He has neither morality nor an understanding of Islam. My message to him is this: no matter which member of my family you imprison to increase pressure on me, I will neither bow down nor accept this tyranny.

I will continue my struggle for Haqeeqi Azadi (genuine freedom), no matter what.

Asim Munir is doing to Pakistan what Mohsin Naqvi has done to cricket.

The judiciary has been destroyed, the media silenced, and the police forced into actions that have criminalized the institution itself. Even during Yahya Khan’s era, such circumstances did not exist. The police are being used against the members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which has led to a rise in crime across the country. Unemployment is at its peak. The economy cannot be fixed by the SIFC, but through public confidence and the rule of law.

Criminals have been imposed upon us, despite the fact that ISI had itself shared with me evidence of their corruption and money laundering. All cases against anyone who left PTI were immediately forgiven.

Whenever dictatorship takes hold, it does so by colluding with judges. At present, due to shameless judges, the rule of law in Pakistan has completely collapsed. After the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the judiciary has become entirely subservient. These judges without a conscience do not take action against human rights violations. If our judges acted upon their conscience, provided justice to the people of Pakistan, and feared accountability before Allah on the Day of Judgment, then such tyranny would never have been possible. These conscienceless judges are equally complicit in this injustice and oppression."

Ali Amin Gandapur should petition the Supreme Court for permission to meet me. Earlier, during the budget process, no meetings or consultation took place with me. Ali Amin must come and brief me on governance, law and order, and other important provincial matters. For this, efforts must be made at every forum, including the Supreme Court.

I emphasize once again that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government must take a strong stand against the federal government’s military operations and drone strikes against our own citizens. During our tenure, peace had returned to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the tribal areas, and not a single drone strike took place. Now, the situation is being deliberately worsened in order to weaken the only party with a genuine public mandate.

Military operations are not the solution for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the tribal areas. Their issues should be resolved through dialogue with the help of local representatives. Drone strikes and military operations only increase terrorism. These operations neither have the support of the people, nor of local representatives, nor of political parties. How can such operations ever succeed?

I am ashamed of the treatment meted out to Afghan refugees. They are our Muslim brothers who had taken refuge here, and to expel them in such a humiliating manner is against both Islamic tradition and humanity.

The recent sentences handed down by the Faisalabad court to 75 of our members and workers in yet another false case expose this oppressive system even further. We must all stand united against this tyranny. Victory will be our destiny when we resist together.

In my opinion, contesting by-elections on the seats vacated through the false convictions in the May 9th cases would be tantamount to legitimizing these fabricated sentences.

Therefore, the party should deliberate on this matter and present its final recommendations to me tomorrow. The seat of Hammad Azhar, however, has fallen vacant following the demise of Mian Azhar. We will contest the election on that seat. A grand rally will be held in Peshawar against the ongoing oppression and fascism across the country, the date of which will be announced by the party. Severe floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan have caused massive destruction, claiming hundreds of precious lives and affecting millions of people. It was for combatting such impacts of climate change that I initiated projects like the Billion Tree campaign. Only such projects can save our environment. Otherwise, we will continue to witness such disasters year after year.”
