 Ready to go to jail, don't understand why army chief is backing him: Imran Khan

Akistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan says that he is ready to go to jail but the current steps of the government are not possible without the support of the establishment.

In an exclusive interview given to BBC Urdu after the police attempted to arrest Imran Khan on Tuesday, he alleged that the attempt to arrest him was fulfilling the promises made by the current army chief. On the occasion of the appointment of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on behalf of the establishment.However, while talking to the BBC about these allegations, the relevant authorities have said that all these allegations are 'baseless and based on lies'.

Imran Khan said that the current government cannot do anything without the support of the establishment and he regrets that today the army and the country's largest political party are being brought face to face.

If the establishment ends its support today, it will not last even a day. I regret that the promises made to Nawaz Sharif at the time of his appointment as Army Chief are being fulfilled. Which country creates distance between the people and the army?

It should be noted that earlier Imran Khan had expressed his satisfaction on the occasion of the appointment of the current Army Chief.

When the concerned officials were questioned about the allegations leveled against Imran Khan's establishment, they rejected the allegations and said that all such allegations are baseless and frivolous without any evidence. Such lies and accusations are aimed at gaining political interests. The reality is that the political leader who is promoting the rule of law for all is himself openly flouting the law and inciting violence to avoid being brought to justice.

When Imran Khan was asked, what will the current Army Chief General Asim Munir gain by taking such actions against him? Imran Khan said that I do not understand this. I myself am surprised that a strange atmosphere has developed. I don't understand Army Chief why he is supporting them (PDM)? Do they not understand that the institution is suffering?

If you ask me why this is the case, maybe a promise was made to Nawaz Sharif, that promise is being fulfilled. But what would be more cruel for Pakistan?

Imran Khan said that he is ready to go to jail. He rejected the narrative of his political opponents that he is afraid of going to jail. He said that it will not harm him or his politics.

It should be noted that Maryam Nawaz Sharif has repeatedly said that Imran Khan is shying away from going to jail. In response to these statements, Imran Khan said that Nawaz Sharif himself has 'escaped out of fear' from the country twice.

Imran Khan said that in case of arrest, he has formed a committee in the party whitehat takes decisions on daily basis and run the party.

Imran Khan also spoke about the custodial torture during the interview and said that his supporters are outside his house because in the past his party leaders have been picked up in the dark of night and allegedly tortured. went.

Asked if he was afraid that he might be subjected to torture after his arrest, Imran Khan said, "I don't know what will happen in jail, but I am ready." A person should be prepared for everything.
