He deplored the biased treatment meted out to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers detained in military jails, suggesting a plan to incarcerate him too on similar charges.

The PTI founder has been charged with inciting attacks on the Lahore Corps Commander's house, known as Jinnah House, Askari Tower and Shadman Police Station on May 9, 2023.

Khan's supporters attacked several key government buildings and military installations after his arrest in an alleged corruption case in May last year.

He said he had called for peaceful protests outside the Army Headquarters (GHQ) if he was arrested, but had never authorised violent action. Khan accused the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of stealing CCTV footage related to the May 9 events.

He also condemned the arrest of party spokesperson Raoof Hasan.

Responding to Information Minister Attaullah Tarar's statements about his VIP detention conditions, Khan invited the media to visit his cell, saying: “If Tarar is telling the truth, he should meet me. Let the media see my cell for two minutes.” He also mentioned that the Toshakhana corruption case had been politicized, with selective action against him while ignoring cases against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari.

He also criticised the treatment of PTI members and the role of some political figures in manipulating judicial processes.

Khan attributed the country's economic crisis to mismanagement by previous governments, pointing to the large current account deficit left by the PML-N government.

The former prime minister claimed that democracy was being undermined and questioned the alignment of top election commissioners with the PML-N.

Khan concluded by rejecting the idea of ​​a technocratic structure as a solution to Pakistan's crisis, arguing for transparent elections as the only remedy to the country's challenges.

He also called for the establishment of a judicial commission to investigate the attack on the Bannu peace march.

The Pakistani government on Sunday accused the Khans Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party of orchestrating violence during a peace march over the weekend in a major city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, during which one person was killed.

Information Minister Atta Tarar addressed a press conference to criticize the outbreak of violence during a march in Bannu organized by local traders and elders to press for peace after militants attacked a military installation in the city, leading to a bloody clash in which eight soldiers died and 10 militants were killed.
