Sat Sep 06 12:03:11 UTC 2025: ## Khan Accuses Army Chief of Oppression, Weakening Pakistan

**Lahore – September 6, 2025** – Imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched a scathing attack against Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, accusing him of imposing an “undeclared martial law” and weakening the nation through oppression. Speaking from jail, where he has been held for over two years, Khan alleged that Munir installed a “puppet government” under Shehbaz Sharif by stealing the people’s mandate in the February elections and committing atrocities against his party workers from Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).

“Today Asim Munir is inflicting oppression on the people of Pakistan to prolong his own rule, thus weakening the country,” Khan stated in a post on X.

The 72-year-old politician also claimed that he and his wife, Bushra Bibi, are being held in solitary confinement and subjected to mental torture in an attempt to break his spirit and abandon his ideology. He likened the situation to the era of General Yahya Khan, under whose rule East Pakistan became Bangladesh, while noting, “The only difference between 1971 and today is that now the people are more aware. Social media has exposed all the facts before the public, and the people have learned to stand up for their rights against tyranny.”

Khan also condemned the recent bomb blast in Balochistan, expressing condolences to Balochistan National Party chief Akhtar Mengal and calling for an end to the “hybrid system” imposed on the region. He urged his party to participate in the strike called by Mahmood Achakzai in Balochistan on Monday.

Furthermore, Khan directed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to resist an operation allegedly launched to weaken the PTI government in the province and to ensure an end to drone attacks in tribal districts.

Addressing the recent floods, Khan urged citizens to aid those affected, stating that government institutions alone cannot handle the disaster. He also voiced his concern regarding the expulsion of Afghan refugees, urging the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to extend assistance to them.
