Imran Khan’s Defiant Message from Prison: ‘All That Is Left for Pak Army Is to Murder Me, But I Would Prefer Death Over Slavery’ | Kashmir POST
Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, currently incarcerated in Rawalpindi, raises concerns about the country’s border security in a column for the UK’s Daily Telegraph. He compares the present situation to the events preceding the loss of East Pakistan in 1971. Khan alleges an increase in terrorism and growing alienation in Balochistan, pointing to reported Indian incursions into Pakistani territory and the volatile Afghan border. He laments the imprisonment of political leaders like himself and accuses the military of holding unchecked power, despite their denial of political interference. Khan also blames General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, for any harm that may befall him or his wife. He criticizes the military’s expectation of unquestioning support from the US, citing the US State Department’s report on human rights violations in Pakistan. Khan celebrates the democratic turnout in the February 8 general election, though he accuses the military of manipulating electoral results against his party’s candidates.
