Former Prime Minister and Chairman PTI’s Statements from Adiala Jail
September 2, 2024
If it's a question of who's spoken against the armed forces, well, nobody has spoken against the military as much as Khwaja Asif. Of all the speeches against the military, Khwaja Asif tops the list. Ahsan Iqbal was the first to speak about the Hamood Ur Rahman Commission Report. He said that the military is a state within the state. Ahsan Iqbal has been saying that Pakistan will become the next Myanmar.
May 9th (2023 event) is their (illegitimate government) insurance policy. Once the May 9th narrative ends, both their government as well as their politics will topple. Whenever there’s talk of negotiations, they make a hue and cry about May 9th (False Flag Operation). I would like to tell the nation once again that May 9th was orchestrated by those who had me abducted and made the CCTV footage disappear. A judicial commission must be formed for the events of May 9th to be investigated.
We are always ready to negotiate, but talks will only be held with those who are able to make decisions. Holding talks with the Form 47 Government (illegitimate government formed as a result of electoral fraud) would be granting them legitimacy. Mehmood Khan Achakzai has the authority to negotiate.
Our rally on September 8 has three objectives. The first is to ensure the return of our stolen mandate. The second is to gain independence from the elite capture of this country. And the third objective is to ensure an independent judiciary in the country. An attack is being launched on the judiciary just to grant Qazi Faez Isa an extension.
If I become the chancellor of Oxford University, it would be an honour for Pakistan. No other alumni of Oxford University has ever attained the place and stature in history of cricket that I did. I have founded and run major charitable institutions in Pakistan like the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospitals and Namal University. We have established two cancer hospitals, two universities and a third (hospital) is being built. I am the first politician in Pakistan who started a political party from scratch and have brought it to where it is today (as the largest and only federal party in the country).
I only leave my cell for meals twice in a 24-hour hour period, which is a total of two hours. They (the regime and controlled media) repeatedly try to give the impression that I live in some 5-star hotel. When Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, and Shahbaz Sharif went to prison, they were kept in palatial rooms with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and many such facilities. I am being kept in a small cell which shares a wall with a cell assigned to prisoners on death row. I only have a single fan in my cell. My cell gets heated like an oven on particularly hot days. I am not complaining, but I want my nation to know the conditions in which I live.
Security personnel has been scared into staying away from my cell. They think that I spend my time chit-chatting with the security personnel. I have so much reading material that I don’t need to talk to anyone. I feel like I have once again enrolled in a university. The Almighty has given me this opportunity to catch up on the reading that I couldn’t do due to competing priorities in life. I couldn’t even imagine how much God has helped me learn in jail by being able to read. But they think they can use these tactics to isolate me in prison.
Having faith in the Almighty makes one stop being fearful. God states in the Holy Quran that when we have complete faith, He removes our fears. I believe that life and death are in the hands of the Almighty, and with this faith I will stand firm against the mafia to the very end.
