Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan declared his unwillingness to submit to what he described as the "slavery of Yazid of time," despite facing incarceration.
Addressing journalists in an informal chat at Adiala Jail, Imran Khan conveyed his resolve to stand firm against what he perceives as the oppressive forces controlling the country.
The former premier also criticised the current leadership, asserting that Pakistan's cricketing disaster and the lack of accountability for high-profile figures, like Mohsin Naqvi, reflect a broader failure of governance.
He claimed that decision-makers are hoarding billions abroad while the nation spirals toward a revolution.
Mr Khan stressed that the country had missed an opportunity for change on February 8th, describing the current decision-makers as insensitive to the dire consequences of their actions.
In his remarks, Khan expressed concern over the escalating crisis in Balochistan, attributing it to inadequate governance and the absence of local body elections. He argued that the situation in Balochistan could be addressed by holding local body elections to empower local leaders and alleviate poverty.
Imran Khan also took a jibe at the allocation of funds, suggesting that money intended for Balochistan's development is not reaching its intended beneficiaries.
The PTI chief also touched upon the issue of terrorism, questioning the effectiveness of ongoing operations since 2004. He pointed out that while the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been labelled as a threat, the presence of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan demands equal attention.
Khan called for a comprehensive strategy that includes intelligence, dialogue, and operations to effectively combat terrorism.
Addressing concerns from journalists regarding accusations made by his sister, Aleema Khan, about media bias, Imran Khan assured that he would investigate the matter.
