Imran Khan Announces Nationwide Protest Movement from Prison

In a dramatic political development, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has declared plans to lead a nationwide protest movement against the government while remaining incarcerated at Adiala Jail. The announcement was made by PTI Senator Ali Zafar after meeting with the imprisoned leader, signaling a major escalation in the party’s opposition strategy.

Key Details of the Protest Plan:

• The movement will be coordinated nationwide rather than focused solely on Islamabad
• Khan will reportedly direct the protests from prison, calling it his only remaining option
• A comprehensive protest strategy is being finalized after consultations with lawyers and party leadership

Khan’s Stark Warning:
The former PM conveyed through Senator Zafar that the establishment has “pushed us against the wall,” leaving no alternative but mass mobilization. “When all doors are closed, the streets become our only option,” Khan stated, emphasizing this would be an unprecedented movement in Pakistan’s political history.

Operational Challenges:
While acknowledging potential obstacles, Khan expressed confidence in overcoming them through meticulous planning. The PTI chairman stressed this movement would differ from previous protests by being “more organized and result-oriented,” with specific responsibilities delegated to various leaders under his remote guidance.

Political Context:
The announcement comes amid Khan’s ongoing legal battles and the party’s claims of being systematically marginalized from political processes. Khan lamented receiving no relief from judiciary or executive branches, framing the protests as a last resort for political survival.
