If I am jailed or killed....Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan shares video message

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the people of Pakistan to fight for their rights even if he is jailed or killed, via a video message.

“The police have arrived to arrest me. They think that if Imran Khan goes to jail, people will go to sleep. You have to prove them wrong. You have to prove that the qaum is alive,” Khan said in an over-a-minute-long video message.

World Cup winning captain posted his video message with a caption ‘My message to the nation to stand resolute and fight for Haqeebi Azadi and rule of law.’

“You have to fight for your rights. You have to hit the streets. God has given Imran Khan everything. I am fighting for your battle. I have fought all my life and will continue to do so. But if something happens to me – they put me in jail or kill me – you have to prove that you can fight without Imran Khan. You have to prove that you will never accept slavey and the rule by one man. Pakistan Zindabad,” he said in his video message.

The 70-year-old Pakistan cricketer is wanted in the Toshakhana corruption case. In October last year, Pakistan’s election commission found him guilty of unlawfully selling gifts that he received as prime minister from foreign dignitaries.

Notably, charges were filed and court last week issued an arrest warrant after Khan skipped several summons.

The Chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, was ousted from office after he lost a trust vote last year. He has been demanding a snap election, which has been rejected by his successor Shehbaz Sharif.
