Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday conveyed a message to the people of Pakistan through his family, urging for not to giving up on the quest of “Haqeeqi Azadi” (true freedom).
“When I was illegally incarcerated in Attock Jail, the first few days were particularly challenging. I wasn’t provided a bed and had to sleep on the floor and had insects and mosquitoes all over me. But with time I have adjusted well to the prison conditions,” he said in a message which was posted on X formerly Twitter both in English and Urdu language.

“Let it be known that there is a difference of day and night between the Imran Khan of today and the Imran Khan who was imprisoned on August 5,” he said while describing himself as “stronger and fitter; spiritually, mentally and physically, than ever before”.
During his time in prison, he said he got the opportunity to study and research the Holy Quran in depth, along with other books which had strengthened his faith. “I was also able to introspect the last few years of my political life.”
“Regardless of what prison they keep me in, whatever conditions they impose upon me, I will not back down even an inch from the quest of Haqeeqi Azadi, for the upholding of the rule of law and the Constitution of Pakistan, at the core of which is free and fair elections,” he stressed.
Responding to those suggesting who suggesting that he would leave the country, he said he would “live and die with Pakistan”.
He ruled out his departure from the country under any deal with the power that be.
“As far as the Cipher case is concerned, this bogus case is designed to protect former Army Chief General Bajwa and Donald Lu. I was the elected Prime Minister of the country. Treason was committed against me and my govt by General Bajwa, instead of investigating the foreign conspiracy in orchestrating a regime change, a case has been filed against me for informing the people of Pakistan, the real protectors of this country, about this treason,” he also commented on the ongoing cipher case.
Imran Khan said he was in pain due to the suffering of his party workers who, according to him, had been illegally imprisoned, especially women workers who were in captivity for months, by a few people “who abuse their power to satisfy their egos.”
He appealed to the judiciary to provide justice and order the immediate release of his party workers.
“Finally, Do not give up. This time of trial will end because Allah says that “with every difficulty there is ease”. Keep raising your voice against this unelected predatory group and their facilitators at every forum and keep demanding a fair and transparent election in the country,” he remarked.
Imran Khan believed that the people of Pakistan would come out in huge numbers to vote for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and defeat all these parties combined on the election day. “No matter how much these people cheat, their only destiny is defeat,” he affirmed.
