Former prime minister Imran Khan has decided to send a third open letter to the Army Chief General Asim Munir, with the contents expected to be revealed later today.

His lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, confirmed that the letter’s key points had been noted and communicated to party leaders, emphasising that it would address critical political and economic concerns.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Chaudhry stated that the letter would focus on deep structural reforms, alleged election fraud that, according to PTI, prioritised a minority over the majority, and government policies that have negatively impacted democracy.

He reiterated PTI’s long-standing demand for a judicial commission to investigate the May 9 events, claiming that despite repeated calls for transparency, the government had failed to address the issue.

He also criticised the continued police raids in Punjab, particularly in Wazirabad, where he alleged that authorities even prevented PTI members from offering funeral prayers for a deceased worker.

Chaudhry also said that PTI leader Aamir Dogar had been appointed as a member of the committee for negotiations with the opposition.

However, when asked about Sher Afzal Marwat, he declined to confirm or deny any internal party decisions, stating that PTI would clarify its position in due course.

He further alleged that the authorities were deliberately restricting legal representatives and journalists from covering PTI-related trials, particularly in cases being heard at GHQ, and announced that PTI would file a petition demanding an open trial.

He claimed that the legal system had suffered significantly, especially after the 26th Constitutional Amendment, which, according to him, had further weakened judicial independence.

The letter, he said, highlighted growing concerns about governance, particularly in the economic sector.

Imran Khan had raised the issue of election rigging and accused the government of installing individuals allegedly involved in money laundering in key positions.

He further alleged that the absence of the rule of law had contributed to a surge in terrorism, while economic instability had forced 1.8 million Pakistanis to leave the country in search of better opportunities.

He claimed that under his government, Pakistan’s economic growth rate stood at 6.4 per cent, but poor governance had since led to capital flight, with $20 billion leaving the country.

Chaudhry also pointed to Pakistan’s 140th ranking on the World Justice Project Index, arguing that it was a clear indicator of the declining legal framework.

He accused the government of using judicial and administrative means to systematically suppress PTI, calling the ongoing crackdown against the party a form of “political engineering.”
