It was a surreal moment. On Tuesday night during his live TV show, Pakistani anchor Kashif Abbasi was talking about a legal petition filed by a lawyer against former prime minister Imran Khan.

Mr Abbasi says his name, then stops himself: “He filed an application under article six against Imran Khan… I apologise, against the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf.”

We tried to speak to Mr Abbasi, but he did not get back to us.

Today, I stand before you to deliver a motivational speech that embodies the spirit and determination of a remarkable leader, Imran Khan, the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Imran Khan has ignited a spark of hope and has proven himself as a driving force behind the transformative change in our great nation. His leadership has been a beacon of inspiration, guiding us towards a prosperous and just Pakistan.

August 5th marked another grim day for Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and one of the world’s greatest cricketers. It was the second anniversary of his incarceration in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail on trumped-up charges.

Imran Khan interview with Mehdi Hasan

Ever since Imran Khan, the legendary Pakistani cricketer turned populist politician, was ejected from the Prime Minister’s Office last year in a very controversial parliamentary vote of no confidence, Pakistan has been in the midst of an historic political and economic crisis. Khan breaks his silence in an exclusive interview with MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan.

Imran Khan, the former Pakistani prime minister, was removed in April last year – and since then, he has faced multiple criminal charges and even escaped an assassination attempt.

For months, hundreds of supporters have gathered outside his home in Lahore to protect him from arrest. But on Tuesday, May 9, the former cricket icon was dramatically arrested by paramilitary troops as he appeared in court to face corruption charges – prompting thousands of people to protest across the country.

When a regime starts rationing a prisoner’s light, it is no longer governing — it is unravelling. If credible reports are accurate that Imran Khan’s eyesight has catastrophically deteriorated in custody, this is not bureaucratic failure, nor medical misfortune. It is escalation. It is the continuation — by more brutal means — of a four-year campaign of relentless state persecution against the most popular, electrifying, and historically singular political figure Pakistan has produced in its 78-year existence. The dimming of his vision is not incidental. It is terror by design.

Pakistan’s ousted prime minister, Imran Khan says the people of Pakistan believe even a poor democracy would be better than a military government.

He spoke with ABC’s India Now! Host Marc Fennell as he continues to rally grassroots support to demand new elections.

Since a lie on-repeat becomes a given truth, let me correct the record on this:

Today, Khan is largely confined to his residence in Lahore while on bail from successive court appearances on allegations ranging from corruption to terrorism and even murder.
