Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan said in an interview that the war on terror by the United States “actually bred terrorists” in different regions of the world, including Pakistan. The prime minister made the comments on Sunday during a CNN interview responding to a question on the surge in terrorism in the Middle East and Pakistan-Afghanistan region despite the withdrawal of US forces.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday launched the Naya Pakistan Qaumi Sehat Card scheme to provide health insurance to families across Punjab, Islamabad, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Tharparkar.

Amnesty International Public Statement

A year on from Imran Khan’s conviction and sentencing, Amnesty International has found several fair trial violations under international human rights standards which have resulted in his arbitrary detention, denying his right to liberty. Amnesty International has reviewed key documents in Imran Khan’s cases and spoken to lawyers involved in the trials. We have noted a pattern of weaponization of the legal system to keep Imran Khan under detention and away from all political activity. Amnesty International calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately release Imran Khan from arbitrary pre-trial detention.

After losing his mother to cancer in 1985, Imran Khan dreamed of constructing a free cancer hospital to help others. Imran Khan spent significant time and effort raising money for this cause because he was committed to building a center that would offer quality cancer care to low-income patients in Pakistan regardless of their ability to pay.

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan was injured when a gunman opened fire on a political rally in Wazirabad, located in Punjab province. Officials from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), confirmed that Khan sustained a bullet injury to his foot and is out of danger.

At the time of the attack, Imran Khan was leading a long march from Lahore toward Islamabad, calling for immediate general elections. Since his removal from office through a no-confidence vote in April, the former Prime Minister has addressed large public gatherings across the country.

Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan’s 19th prime minister after taking office in August 2018, has repeatedly claimed that his ouster was the result of a planned conspiracy.
