Khan Accuses Army Chief of “Unprecedented Tyranny”

Lahore, Pakistan – November 5, 2025 – In a dramatic escalation of tensions, imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched a fierce attack on Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, labeling him the “most oppressive dictator” in the nation’s history and questioning his mental stability.

In a statement posted on Khan’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, Khan accused Munir of engaging in “unprecedented tyranny,” citing the killings of PTI party workers in Islamabad and the crackdown on Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan in Muridke as examples of the “blind use of power.” He went on to condemn the treatment of women under Munir’s rule and claimed his wife, Bushra Bibi, is being held in solitary confinement to exert pressure on him.

“Asim Munir is inflicting every possible form of injustice upon me and my wife,” Khan stated. “No political leader’s family has ever faced such cruelty.”

Khan has also declared that his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), will not engage in negotiations with the current government led by Shehbaz Sharif or the powerful military establishment, arguing that any talks would be futile as Munir holds all the power. He added that any decision regarding talks will be made by Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aeen Pakistan allies.

Khan maintains that the cases against him are baseless and deliberately prolonged to keep him imprisoned. The allegations come as Pakistan faces ongoing political instability and mounting economic challenges. The military has yet to respond to Khan’s accusations.
