　　伊斯兰堡(巴基斯坦)，9月6日(ANI):目前被关押在阿迪亚拉监狱的巴基斯坦前总理伊姆兰·汗警告说，如果政府试图破坏司法独立，他将呼吁举行街头抗议。汗说，巴基斯坦军队属于整个国家，而不仅仅是一个政党或军队首脑。他说，政府摧毁了包括警察、国家问责局(NAB)在内的所有机构，并将最高法院称为人民的唯一希望。巴基斯坦正义运动党(PTI)分享了伊姆兰·汗的声明:“前总理伊姆兰·汗在阿迪亚拉监狱发表的声明:2024年9月4日巴基斯坦军队属于每个人，属于整个国家，而不仅仅是一个政党或军队首领。他们抢劫了选举，现在不允许司法独立运作。他们摧毁了每一个机构，包括警察、国家问责局和联邦调查局。现在，最高法院是人民唯一的希望。”“警察和国民银行正在武装起来对付我们。拉瓦尔品第专员是这一点的见证人，因为他监督了品第区的选举。当拉瓦尔品第专员告诉所有人关于首席大法官和选举委员会的真相时，他被强行失踪了。如果首席大法官是无辜的，他肯定会把拉瓦尔品第专员召到他的法庭。我现在宣布，如果他们试图破坏司法独立，我将呼吁举行街头抗议。”

　　PTI founder Imran Khan said that the party that did not win a total of 20 seats was given a "fake mandate" and brought into power. He said that nations are destroyed when "corrupt and incompetent people are placed into positions of power in state institutions."

　　Reiterating claims of rigging in general elections held on February 8, Khan said, "They did not even let the opposing team (PTI) step out onto the field, and yet they lost heavily. Those who could not even win a total of 20 seats were given a fake mandate and brought into power. They are doing what even an enemy would not be able to do, causing damage to the institution. Nations are not destroyed when their (external) enemies attack. Nations are destroyed when corrupt and incompetent people are placed into positions of power in state institutions."

　　He also questioned the appointment of Mohsin Naqvi as Pakistan's Cricket Board chairman and criticised him for the Pakistan cricket team's poor performance against Bangladesh.

　　Blaming PCB chairman for Pakistan cricket team's poor performance against Bangladesh in recent Test series, Imran Khan said, "Mohsin Naqvi was made the Interior Minister as well as the Chairman of the cricket board. He was given this position by none other than the "Big Boss" himself, and now he has annihilated cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Team suffered a whitewash at the hands of Bangladesh. What can be a worse defeat than that? What was the calamity that caused our team's performance to become worse than that of the Bangladesh team, and for the team to be completely destroyed in just three years? Favorites have been imposed to run a technical sport like cricket."

　　Raising questions over Naqvi's appointment as PCB chairman, he said, "What are Mohsin Naqvi's qualifications? Ramiz Raja was not related to me. He was a professional cricketer whom I made the Chairman of PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board). Mohsin Naqvi committed election fraud and was involved in the wheat procurement fraud (scandal). Yet, he was appointed as the Interior Minister and Chairman PCB by the "Big Boss". The Dubai Leaks exposed assets worth five million dollars belonging to Mohsin Naqvi's wife. Where did that money come from?"

　　He said that Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa has not announced the reserved verdict in the NAB Amendments appeal since two and a half months. He said that Justice Isa has not announced the verdict as he wants him to get convicted in the "ridiculous Al-Qadir University."

　　Imran Khan said, "I have already said that, although the amendments to NAB (anti-corruption) laws would go in my favor, I am contesting them for the sake of the nation. A game is being played. Four references against Nawaz Sharif, five against Shehbaz Sharif, and nine against Zardari and his front-men have been frozen, yet false references against me are being conducted at full speed."

　　He said that NAB has frozen donations for Al Qadir University and stressed that it is the only rural university.

　　"NAB has frozen donations for Al-Qadir University. After Namal, Al-Qadir is only the second rural university. One hundred percent of students are getting free education at Al-Qadir University. They want to shut down Al-Qadir University. But shutting it down will not do me any harm, it will hurt the students. We have already fallen behind in the subcontinent in the field of education. If Shaukat Khanum (Cancer Hospital) is also shut down, people will have to pay ten times more for cancer treatment," he said.

　　Imran Khan said that he has not spent a single day at the prison hospital. He alleged that Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari were given air conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms when they were in prison.

　　Highlighting the problems he faces in prison, PTI founder said, "One of the prisoners cooks for me, but I have never complained. only three visits are allowed to meet with me in a week, whereas Nawaz Sharif met with forty people (when he was in jail). It was an open house for him. Nawaz Sharif used to even talk to journalists in the privacy of his own room. I send the names of six of my party leaders every week, and only three are allowed to meet me for a mere thirty minutes."

　　"I have so many cases against me, and yet, I am only allowed to meet with six lawyers. I am kept in solitary confinement. I spend 21 hours of the day inside my prison cell. My cell heats up like an oven because of the weather, but I have never complained, never said I'm suffering. I have to go to a separate room to bathe. I have just one complaint, though. I am not allowed to speak with my children, although that is my legal right," he added.

　　Rejecting the government's claims of providing five-star facilities to him, PTI founder stated that he has the same facilities as an inmate on death row.

　　He said, "It feels as though a Martial Law administrator is in charge. Under which law are journalists not allowed to ask me questions? I am the leader of Pakistan's biggest political party. It is my legal and constitutional right to speak with members of the media in an open court."

　　Khan said that his wife Bushra Bibi has been "unjustly imprisoned" for the past seven months and added that she is a housewife who never interfered in government's affairs. He also said that women members of PTI were being subjected to ill-treatment for the past one and a half years, calling it "inhumane and extremely sad."

　　Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan's Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, has been incarcerated in Adiala Jail since August 2023 on multiple charges, including the Toshakhana case, the cypher case, and the unlawful marriage case.His wife Bushra Bibi has also been behind bars for months. (ANI)
