In response to ISPR’s press release, PTI Chairman Imran Khan delivered a video message titled “My reply to ISPR & attempts by PDM & their handlers to arrest me for two reasons: 1. To prevent me from campaigning bec InshaAllah when elections are announced I will be doing jalsas. 2. To prevent me from mobilising the masses for street movement in support of Constitution if PDM govt & their handlers refuse to obey the SC & violate Constitution on holding of elections.”
He said “ISPR, please listen to me carefully. Respect is not reserved for one institution alone, but rather should be extended to every citizen.”

PTI Chairman Imran Khan has emphasized the importance of strengthening institutions by taking action against corrupt individuals in a video message. As the head of the largest political party in the country, he stated that he has been known by the nation for 50 years and has no need to lie.
Khan also discussed the attack on him and claimed that the person responsible had attempted to kill him twice. He challenged the former Prime Minister to file an FIR and claimed that two named police officers refused to be part of the investigation. He questioned who was behind the attack and suggested that the JIT was sabotaged when it was established that there were three shooters.
The PTI Chief further alleged that ISI had taken over the Judicial Complex and that CTD, in the guise of lawyers, was controlled by the ISI. He accused a brigadier of monitoring everything in the judicial complex and asked if there was a sacred cow that was above the law.
Khan addressed the ISPR and stated that taking action against corrupt individuals improves the reputation of an organization. He criticized the former Prime Minister for causing harm to the institution and questioned why whoever takes his name is badmouthing the army.
The PTI Chairman declared that he was ready to go to jail and warned that if the nation explodes, those responsible would go into hiding.
He expressed his readiness to accept whatever fate Allah has in store for him, however, questioning whether those in power, who are benefiting from the corrupt system, are also prepared to face the consequences.
The PTI Chairman warned that Pakistan is currently facing a critical situation that could potentially worsen, leading to catastrophic consequences for the entire nation. He urged people to be prepared for any outcome, stating that if the country explodes, those in power will not be spared.
Imran Khan further criticized the corrupt ruling class, stating that he would rather die than live under their slavery.
