In a rare interview with journalist Mehdi Hassan, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke out from prison about the harsh conditions of his confinement and criticized Pakistan’s political and military leadership. Khan, a former cricket legend, described his solitary confinement as a "death cell" and claimed he is being denied basic prisoner rights, accusing authorities of using psychological tactics to break his spirit. Despite these challenges, he draws strength from his faith in Allah.
Khan attributed his imprisonment to former army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, accusing him of orchestrating a scheme to remove him from power and spreading false narratives to justify his removal. He defended his government’s foreign policies, including a controversial trip to Russia, stating it was a collective decision.
Reflecting on his time in office, Khan criticized the current government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, labeling it illegitimate and accusing it of election rigging and violence. He emphasized that his struggle is for democracy and the rights of the Pakistani people, urging the international community to take notice of the repression in Pakistan.
Khan's defiance resonates with many in Pakistan who see him as a symbol of resistance against corruption and injustice. He remains steadfast, declaring that the fight for democracy and the rights of 250 million Pakistanis continues.
