Imran Khan’s Audio On The US Cypher Was Leaked Online Once More

December 31, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Imran Khan, a former prime minister, was heard discussing a plan to decipher a “foreign scheme” involving a US cypher with former federal ministers Asad Umar and Shah Mahmood Qureshi in another audio tape that was published on Friday.

The deposed PM is heard suggesting to hold a meeting with the former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and the foreign secretary in the most recent audio recording of the alleged discussion, which is supposedly between the PTI head and his close aides.

Adding that his previous main secretary had suggested obtaining a xerox copy of the minutes, the indignant politician then instructed his assistants to modify the minutes’ cypher.

During the discussion, a voice claiming to be that of Azam Khan can be heard indicating that the cypher arrived around the eighth or ninth of the month, while Khan claimed that the meeting took place the previous day on the seventh.

Khan then emphasized the need to avoid mentioning the United States, declaring that it is of the utmost significance for their decision to “play with the cypher.”

Asad Umar, a senior PTI politician, contradicted the party chairman by stating that the document was really a transcript of the meeting and not a letter. which the previous prime minister stated the word is for the public.

The ousted PM and his chief secretary at the time talked about how to manipulate the cypher in the first segment of the purported tape.

Khan is heard saying in the audio tape, “Don’t play with this in the name of America. Azam Khan responded by advising him to first have a discussion about the matter.

You may recall that the envoy wrote to issue a demarche at the conclusion of that cypher, Azam said.

He then urged Imran to meet with the foreign secretary and Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who was the country’s former foreign minister.

“Qureshi sb. will read aloud that material, and whatever he says will be copied. I will then record that the foreign secretary prepared this in the minutes. Then, Azam reportedly said, “We will turn it into minutes so that it may enter the office record.”

Then Azam said, “How did they pick it up if we don’t have a copy?” Khan said that there is absolutely a “foreign conspiracy” behind this.

Imran Khan Loses Faith In Holding Early Elections

December 29, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Imran Khan, chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, responded angrily to reports that plans were being made to appoint a technocrat administration, saying he was no longer hopeful about the country conducting general elections anytime soon.

The former prime minister, who has maintained that there is no use in corresponding with the current “imported administration,” claimed that only the establishment was responsible for allowing elections to take place, and that this included the army chief. He asserted that he was not in touch with the “establishment.”

The PTI leader told reporters on Wednesday at his Zaman Park mansion said it was more crucial to persuade the PDM administration’s supporters than the PDM government itself to call for early elections.

He claimed that rumor’s of a technocrat administration being placed in the nation lead him to assume that the government is not planning to hold general elections anytime soon.

He claimed that the Pakistan Democratic Movement had become little more than a living room gathering.

Warns against installing technocrat government in country

Mr. Khan forewarned that “if any political engineering is tried in the upcoming general elections, the consequences would not be positive” using Bangladesh as an example.

He said that the PTI was Pakistan’s largest political party and that disobeying the will of the majority of Pakistanis would have disastrous repercussions. He used the example of the greatest party in East Pakistan, whose mandate was rejected.

The former prime minister criticized retired Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa once more, saying that he had engaged in “excesses against Pakistan” that had brought the country dangerously close to default.

He said that Gen. Bajwa had done a grave damage to the nation and that the threat of default had escalated to 90% from 5% during his administration.

Although Gen Bajwa does not view political corruption as a big issue, Mr. Khan noted that his government’s working relationships with the previous army leader were “excellent.”

He asserted that by changing the NAB law, corruption cases of Rs. 1,100 billion were resolved.

The PTI representative had earlier claimed that Gen. Bajwa had “reached” an agreement with Asif Ali Zardari, the PPP’s leader, and Murad Ali Shah, the chief minister of Sindh. According to Mr. Khan, there was no point in signing what they refer to as a “charter of economics” because both the PML-N and PPP owned foreign holdings.

He said that the nation’s ongoing political and economic issues cannot be solved until after free and fair elections have established the rule of law. He claimed that if the ruling elite did not communicate with Afghanistan, the wave of terrorism would worsen.

Punjab Government Of Pakistan Dismissed, A Setback For Ex-PM Khan’s Desire For Early Elections

December 24, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Pakistan’s LAHORE – Imran Khan’s ambitions to compel early elections in the South Asian country suffered a setback on Friday when a major supporter of the former premier was dismissed from his position as chief minister of the nation’s largest province.

The action will exacerbate Pakistan’s already acute balance of payment crisis and economic collapse.

Khan’s rival Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appointed Punjab Governor Muhammad Baligh-ur-Rehman, who on Friday ordered the resignation of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.

Rehman said that he took action because Elahi neglected to request the necessary vote of confidence after the governor had requested that he do so.

Rehman’s decision, obtained by Reuters, stated, “I am confident that he doesn’t command the trust of the majority of the members of the Punjab Assembly, and consequently ceases to retain his position with immediate effect.”

According to the report, Punjab, Pakistan’s largest province, too had its cabinet abolished.

However, Elahi will remain in position until a replacement is chosen, according to the governor’s directive.

According to his party’s spokesman Musarrat Cheema, the ousted chief minister has appealed the dismissal at the High Court.

The dissolution of two provincial administrations led by Khan’s party and coalition allies was announced last week.

He had previously stated that after that his party will also leave the federal parliament, which is controlled by a unity government made up of his opposition parties.

In such situation, more than 60% of the legislative seats would have been vacant, strengthening Khan’s argument for early elections.

Since he was removed from office in April after losing a vote of confidence in the parliament, Khan has pushed for immediate elections and organized nationwide protests to put pressure on the ruling party.

Khan was fired at at one of these protests and was wounded.

The proposal has been denied by Sharif’s unity government, which has consistently stated that the elections would go place as scheduled later in 2023.

Imran’s Removal As PTI Leader Is In Way, The ECP Informs IHC

Imran’s Removal As PTI Leader Is In Way, The ECP Informs IHC

December 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Following Imran Khan’s disqualification in the Toshakhana issue, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) told the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday that it had started the process to remove him from his position as PTI chairman.

A district and sessions court in Islamabad has postponed its decision on an ECP petition in the Toshakhana case against Imran Khan, according to ECP Director General Law Mohammad Arshad, who also informed the court that the next hearing of the reference has been set for December 20.

The trial court had heard the commission’s argument on November 22 and is scheduled to render a decision on December 15.

In response to its ruling in the Toshakhana case, the ECP had started the process on December 5 to have Imran Khan resigned as chairman of the PTI. According to Article 63(1)(p) of the Constitution, he was disqualified because he made “false assertions and erroneous disclosure.”

Imran Khan’s appeal against the ECP’s decision to disqualify him was taken up by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, however owing to a lack of time, further proceedings were tabled until Dec. 20.


Ex-PM’s counsel terms commission’s disqualification order unconstitutional


Imran Khan’s attorney, Syed Ali Zafar, emphasised the case’s importance in light of the ECP hearings. He informed the IHC that Imran Khan was being sought to be disqualified under Article 62(1)(f) in the Toshakhana matter after the National Assembly speaker had mechanically approved the pleas of a few MNAs without providing any justification, documentation, or proof.

He argued that both the ECP order and the NA speaker’s decision were unlawful. The attorney contended that there must be an earlier pronouncement by a court of law against the member in order for a disqualification under Article 62(1)(f) to occur.

He emphasized that neither before the ECP nor when the commission was asked to respond to the inquiries raised in the reference was there a declaration from a court of law against Imran Khan as required by Article 62(1)(f) in this matter.

Therefore, the speaker’s reference is unjustified and unlawful, and the attorney said that ECP should have rejected the reference by concluding that Imran Khan is not ineligible under Article 62(1)(f).

The attorney countered that the ECP was not a court of law and that the Supreme Court had repeatedly ruled that the ECP could not issue a declaration under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution. He also brought up the most recent Faisal Vawda case, in which the Supreme Court determined that the Commission lacked authority to issue any declarations according to Article 62(1). (f).

The attorney described the current situation as peculiar since assets were bought and traded legally, yet Imran Khan was nonetheless disqualified by the ECP. He cited several decisions of the higher courts where it was determined that while all errors in statements were not grounds for disqualification, it was necessary to determine if the declaration was made with an ulterior or dishonest purpose.

The attorney emphasized that there was no need for Imran Khan to omit the presents from his assets declaration because he had legitimately and in compliance with the regulations bought the assets, and the ECP’s premise that this was done dishonestly was completely false.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Khan Will Speak At His First Rally After Being Shot

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Khan Will Speak At His First Rally After Being Shot

November 26, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


In his first public appearance since being shot earlier this month in an assassination attempt he blamed on his successor, the former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan is anticipated to speak to tens of thousands of fans on Saturday.

“My nation will come to Rawalpindi for me.”

The shooting was the most recent development in several months of political unrest that started in April when Khan was removed from office following a vote of no confidence in parliament.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of Khan, has been urging the government to call an early election before the current parliamentary term expires in October of next year. Saturday’s demonstration is the culmination of this “long march.”

READ MORE: Lt Gen Asim Munir Is Selected By PM Shehbaz To Be The New COAS

Khan was cited by PTI as stating in a morning tweet, “My life is under jeopardy and despite being injured I am heading to Rawalpindi for the nation.

On Saturday, there was a video going around of Khan’s assistants posing with his right leg in a blue cast that has since been removed.

The gathering will be held on a sizable open space between the nation’s capital, Islamabad, and the neighboring garrison city of Rawalpindi, which serves as the home of the country’s formidable military.

To stop Khan’s followers from marching on government buildings, authorities have deployed hundreds Pakistani security troops, barricaded highways with shipping containers, and erected a steel ring around Islamabad.

In May, rallies spearheaded by Khan descended into anarchy for 24 hours, with the capital blockaded and ongoing skirmishes between police and demonstrators across Pakistan.
The police vowed to handle forcefully with any PTI supporters who attempted to enter Islamabad this time.

Informed of potential security risks to the gathering, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, who Khan alleges was engaged in the assassination plan, issued a “red alert” on Friday.

He mentioned Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan as two terrorist organizations that may threaten Khan, adding that “PTI still has the opportunity (to cancel).”

According to the authorities, the murder attempt was carried out by a lone gunman who is currently in jail. Police released a “confession” video in which the owner of the trash business admitted to acting because Khan was opposed to Islam.

However, Khan, a former international cricketer who had a playboy image before he married, claimed he had long warned the authorities that any attempt on his life would be blamed on a religious zealot.

Two days have passed since the government nominated a former spymaster as the next military leader, which brings us to Saturday’s gathering.

Khan appointed Munir as the Inter-Services Intelligence agency’s chief, but he left after just eight months due to a rumored falling out.

Since gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan’s military, the sixth-largest in the world, has launched at least three coups, taking power for more than three decades.

Khan has held many large-scale rallies around the nation since being removed from office, drawing sizable audiences.

The crowd on Saturday is anticipated to be the largest yet.

PTI supporters were arriving in convoys with vehicles bearing party flags from all over Pakistan.

Lt Gen Asim Munir Is Selected By PM Shehbaz To Be The New COAS

After days of rumours, the appointment of Lieutenant General Syed Asim Munir as the new army chief and Lieutenant General Sahir Shamshad Mirza as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday put a stop to them.

Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb made the statement in a Twitter, stating that President Alvi has received the summary.

READ MORE: Imran Khan Assure That Long March Will Not Disturb England Tests

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has chosen to nominate Lt. Gen. Sahir Shamshad Mirza as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Lt. Gen. Syed Asim Munir as Chief of the Army Staff using his constitutional authority.

According to the seniority list, the positions of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and army chief were up for grabs amongst Lt. Gen. Asim Munir, Lt. Gen. Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Lt. Gen. Azhar Abbas, Lt. Gen. Numan Mahmud, and Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed.

The choice of the new army leader has reached its conclusion, according to confirmation from Defence Minister Khwaja Asif that “the advice has gone to President Alvi.”

The minister said, “Imran Khan now has to decide whether he wants to build the institution of homeland defence or make it contentious.

“President Alvi’s decision to heed constitutional and legal counsel as opposed to political advice will also be put to the test, he continued. He has a responsibility to safeguard the nation against political disputes as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces “.

The defence minister had made a casual comment to reporters on Wednesday outside the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) that the new army chief might be chosen before PM Shehbaz leaves for a trip to Turkey on November 25.

Lt Gen Syed Asim Munir has a range of military expertise. He was Gujranwala’s Corps Commander. He served from October 2018 to June 2019 as the DG ISI as well. Many people were surprised by his brief tenure as the leading spy agency’s director.

It was reported at the time that the prime minister at the time, Imran Khan, was not pleased with him because he was thought to have alerted him to his wife’s alleged involvement in corruption. Gen Asim’s determination to follow the rules was also believed to have irritated Imran.

Gen. Asim was the DG of Military Intelligence as well. He is seen as the front-runner since the government has said that seniority would this time be given priority in choosing a new leader.

On the list of seniority, Lt Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza is ranked second. He is Rawalpindi’s Corps Commander. He also held the important position of Chief of General Staff (CGS), which was once held by the majority of army chiefs.

Due to his dual leadership of the operational and intelligence directorates in the army, CGS is referred to as the de facto army chief. To put it simply, every file in the army passes through his desk.

Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI, stated on Wednesday that President Arif Alvi was in touch with him and would speak with him on the choice of a new army commander because he was the party leader.

He said that since I am the leader of the party, the president may speak with me if the prime minister can communicate with a “absconder” (a reference to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif).

However, “the president and I have decided that we will play with this within the law and do whatever is in law and the Constitution,” Imran said in an interview on a private news channel. “The president will absolutely discuss the matter with me,” he continued, adding that he was unaware of who they would appoint.
