Imran Khan Writes to Army Chief, Addressing National Concerns and Urging Unity

A Call for Unity and Addressing Key Concerns

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister, has written a letter to the country's Army Chief, General Syed Asim Munir, outlining his concerns about the growing distance between the military and the public.

The letter, according to PTI leadership, addresses key national concerns and urges unity between the people and the armed forces. Khan, in his capacity as a former prime minister, praised the sacrifices made by the Pakistani armed forces. He emphasized the importance of the public standing with the army and stated, "Pakistan Army is making great sacrifices. This country and army is ours. We do not want chaos and it is necessary that the public stands with the army."

The letter also highlights six major points, including allegations of "fraud elections" on February 8, 2024, and the 26th constitutional amendment. Additionally, it touches on significant issues such as the Al-Qadir Trust case and economic concerns. PTI leadership believes these matters are central to Pakistan's political and governance landscape, warranting direct engagement with military leadership.

This development follows Imran Khan's recent correspondence with judicial authorities. On January 31, he sent letters to Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Aminuddin Khan, the head of the constitutional bench. These letters contain critical demands and grievances regarding major political events, including the formation of a commission to investigate the incidents of May 9 and November 26. They also express concerns over the treatment of PTI workers, detailing raids on their homes, arrests, and an alleged crackdown on party members.

The February 8 elections are also referenced, with Khan expressing concerns about the electoral process.
