Overview

• On July 28, Khan accused General Asim Munir of running Pakistan under his own law with ISI protection and prioritizing personal power over the country’s well-being.
• He likened Munir to former ruler Yahya Khan, warning that the current chief’s actions are disgracing the military and echoing the lead-up to East Pakistan’s secession.
• Khan alleged that the Senate, National Assembly, presidency and judiciary have been packed with Munir loyalists and that electoral bodies were manipulated to strip PTI of seats.
• Describing 22-hour solitary confinement and denial of books, newspapers and television for himself and his wife, Bushra Bibi, Khan highlighted what he calls inhumane prison conditions.
• He urged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members to unite, hold Munir personally accountable if anything happens to him in custody and prepare for protests against the “puppet government.”
