The Question that just exploded across Pakistan Imran Khan’s party is sounding the alarm: the former PM hasn’t been seen by family or lawyers in 23 days, no explanations, no medical checks, nothing. For a 73-year-old behind bars on charges he says were engineered by the military, that silence is loud. PTI says he’s being held in “illegal isolation.” Prison officials insist he’s “in good health.” Some media whisper he might be moved to a high-security facility to make access even harder.

Meanwhile, #WHEREISIMRANKHAN is trending like a national panic button – because Pakistan’s political memory is long, and enforced disappearances are not hypothetical. Let’s be real: Khan’s downfall was never just about corruption cases. It was about crossing the military, the same institution that un-makes prime ministers as easily as it installs them. His 2023 arrest triggered the biggest anti-army protests in years – and the establishment hasn’t forgotten. If the government doesn’t produce him publicly soon, this goes from a health scare to a legitimacy crisis. PTI supporters are already mobilizing, the streets are watching, and the military hates uncertainty.Keep your eyes on Rawalpindi – that’s where the real answers usually come from.
