Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan on Wednesday instructed his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members to hold army chief Asim Munir accountable in case "anything happened" to him in jail, PTI reported quoting Imran Khan's X post.
“In recent days, the harsh treatment I face in jail has intensified. The same applies to my wife, Bushra Bibi. Even the television in her cell has been switched off. All basic rights — both human and those legally granted to prisoners — have been suspended for both of us,” he said in a post on X.
“Therefore, I give clear instructions to my party — if anything happens to me in jail, Asim Munir must be held accountable,” he added.
“I am prepared to spend my entire life in prison, but there is no question of bowing before tyranny and oppression. My message to the people of Pakistan is the same — never submit to this oppressive system under any circumstances,” he said.
The 72-year-old former cricketer and politician has been in jail since August 2023, facing multiple criminal charges.
PTI is set to launch a nationwide campaign from August 5, demanding his release and pressuring the Shehbaz Sharif government and the military establishment.
