Khawaja Asif just gave a masterclass in confusion—first Imran’s tweeting from jail, then it’s India, then it’s “intelligence.” No proof, no clarity, just stammering spin. Meanwhile, Imran Khan remains behind bars, silenced but still shaping the narrative. The system fears the voice it couldn’t break.
----------------------------------
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif was left flustered during a conversation on Imran Khan’s X (Twitter) account. During an interview, Asif was slammed for making contradictory allegations regarding the social media activity of the former Pakistani Prime Minister.
During an interview with British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan, Asif first claimed that Imran Khan was operating his Twitter account from inside the Adiala Jail in Pakistan.
However, when Hasan pointed out the Defence Minister’s previous assertion that Khan’s account was controlled by India, Asif tried to backtrack, stammering in his response.
“He is operating a Twitter account from the jail cell," Asif said to Hasan, who then grilled the Defence Minister, saying, “You said he was operating from India the other day… You said India is controlling his Twitter account… You just made two different allegations. Is it Imran in his prison cell or is it India?"
The visibly flustered Pakistani Defence Minister replied, “Either he is operating from the cell or he should at least identify who is operating the jail cell."
When asked for evidence to support his claims, the Defence Minister cited “intelligence sources" but refused to provide any verifiable proof. “The evidence I cannot publicly disclose," Asif said.
When pressed further by Hasan on the rationale, “If you cannot publicly disclose the evidence, why make the claim?" Asif retorted, “No, because it is there." When cornered on the source of his claim, if India controlled Khan’s X account, Asif conceded, “Yes, based on, obviously, intelligence. Nobody is stating it openly."
Mehdi also questioned the Defence Minister about the current Pakistani government’s handling of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, who has been imprisoned since August 2023 despite widespread international criticism and UN experts labelling his detention as “illegal".
Asif dodged the question, saying, “He must prove that he has clean hands." Imran Khan was taken into custody from his Lahore residence following a three-year prison sentence handed down in a corruption case back in August 2023.
