Ousted prime minister Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated in Adiala Jail in the cypher case, has released his first message for the people of Pakistan since his arrest on August 5, 2023.
Khan’s message was shared with the people via his social media accounts, including Twitter. Here is the full text of Khan’s message for Pakistanis:
“Chairman Imran Khan’s message to the people of Pakistan shared through his family on the 10th of October”
“When I was illegally incarcerated in Attock Jail, the first few days were particularly challenging. I wasn’t provided a bed and had to sleep on the floor and had insects and mosquitoes all over me. But with time I have adjusted well to the prison conditions.
“Let it be known that there’s a huge difference between the Imran Khan of today and the Imran Khan who was imprisoned on August 5. Today I am stronger and fitter; spiritually, mentally and physically, than ever before.
“When I was illegally incarcerated in Attock Jail, the first few days were particularly challenging. I wasn’t provided a bed and had to sleep on the floor and had insects and mosquitoes all over me. But with time I have adjusted well to the prison conditions.”
“During my time in prison, I have had the opportunity to study and research the Holy Quran in depth, along with other books which has strengthened my faith. I was also able to introspect the last few years of my political life.
“Regardless of what prison they keep me in, whatever conditions they impose upon me, I will not back down even an inch from the quest for Haqeeqi Azadi, for the rule of law and the Constitution of Pakistan, at the core of which is free and fair elections. Those suggesting that I should leave the country must know that I will live and die with Pakistan, and I will not leave my land to go anywhere.”
“As far as the cipher case is concerned, this bogus case is designed to protect former Army Chief General Bajwa and Donald Lu. I was the elected Prime Minister of the country. Treason was committed against me and my govt by General Bajwa, instead of investigating the foreign conspiracy in orchestrating a regime change. A case has been filed against me for informing the people of Pakistan, the real protectors of this country, about this treason.

“If there’s one thing that bothers & pains me, is the suffering of my workers who have been illegally imprisoned, especially our women workers who have been in captivity for months, by a few people who abuse their power to satisfy their egos. I appeal to the judiciary to provide justice and order the immediate release of our workers.
“Finally, do not give up. This time of trial will end because Allah says that “with every difficulty there is ease”. Keep raising your voice against this unelected predatory group and their facilitators at every forum and keep demanding a fair and transparent election in the country.
“I am predicting that on whatever day the election is held, people of Pakistan will come out in huge numbers to vote for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and defeat all these parties combined. No matter how much these people cheat, their only destiny is defeat.”
“Pakistan Zindabad”
