Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM's advisor drops bombshell on 2024 polls in Pakistan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has urged a foreign observation mission to make public its findings on the 2024 general elections, insisting that the document exposes "systemic rigging, institutional bias, and deliberate targeting of the Imran-Khan-led party and its founder," local publication Dawn reported. The call followed a report by the independent outlet Drop Site News, which alleged that the Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) had "buried their report" after identifying widespread irregularities in the February 8 polls. While the COG's assessment has yet to be formally published, some media organisations claimed to have accessed leaked versions, according to Dawn. In a statement released on Sunday, the COG acknowledged awareness of an online version of its report but stressed that it does not comment on leaked material. "The government and the Election Commission of Pakistan have already received the report. The full report, as we had communicated earlier, will be released later this month, along with a number of COG reports currently in the publication pipeline," it said. The mission underlined that its work is "carried out free from any interference." The delay has raised concerns, as election observation missions usually issue their findings within days or weeks of polling. The COG, while announcing its preliminary observations on February 10, 2024, had said its recommendations would be submitted to the Commonwealth secretary general before being shared with Islamabad and then made public. According to an excerpt from the leaked copy -- whose authenticity could not be independently verified by Dawn -- the report noted: "Despite the fact that early vote counts indicated a landslide victory for candidates aligned with... the banned PTI... saw their polling leads rapidly reversed..." Reacting to the controversy, PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqqas Akram said the leaked document reinforced the party's stance. "The leaked report validated PTI's longstanding reservations about widespread pre- and post-poll rigging," Dawn quoted him as saying. Former aide to ex-prime minister Imran Khan, Zulfi Bukhari, also raised questions over the delay. "Tomorrow, I will be consulting legal counsel to initiate proceedings aimed at securing disclosure, both of the report itself in full and of the decision-making processes that led to its suppression," he wrote on X.&nbsp;

Former Pakistan prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party chief Imran Khan has once again lashed out at Army chief Asif Munir saying the country is being ruled by him and that he is being given protection by the ISI. Taking to social media, the jailed former premier said "The country is being run under Munir's law, and the ISI is giving it protection... He is prepared to sacrifice every national interest to maintain his hold on power. This army chief is disgracing the military just as Yahya Khan once did".&nbsp;Yahya Khan, was former army chief General under whose regime East Pakistan witnessed a civil war, resulting in the creation of &nbsp;a new country Bangladesh.&nbsp;This is not the first time that Imran Khan has leveled allegations against Munir. On July 16 Khan had asked his party members to hold Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir accountable if anything happens to him in prison.&nbsp;Khan, who has been incarcerated for almost two years after being charged in multiple cases said that he and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were facing inhumane treatment in jail.&nbsp;Taking to X, he wrote, "I am subjected to relentless abuse. But no matter what they do, I have never bowed before oppression, and I never will."&nbsp;"Even the television in her cell has been turned off. All basic human and legal rights have been suspended for both of us," Khan further wrote adding "I give clear instructions to my party — if anything happens to me in jail, Asim Munir must be held accountable."&nbsp;Khan further urged his party members to unite, keeping personal differences aside.

Munir disgracing military like Yahya Khan, ISI giving protection: Imran Khan

The sons of jailed former prime minister of Pakistan and PTI Founder Imran Khan met with United States President Donald Trump’s key aide Richard Grenell on Tuesday and kicked off a campaign calling for their father’s release from prison. Imran’s sons, Sulaiman Khan, 28, and Kasim Khan, 26, drew attention to their father’s incarceration publicly for the first time in May. Earlier this month, Imran’s sister Aleema Khan said Sulaiman and Kasim will go to the US before coming to Pakistan as part of a movement calling for the ex-premier’s release.&nbsp;Imran, jailed since August 2023, is serving a sentence at the Adiala Jail in a corruption case and is facing trials under the Anti-Terrorism Act over the May 9, 2023, protests.&nbsp;Grenell, US special presidential envoy for special missions who has publicly called for Imran’s release, posted on X that he met with Sulaiman and Kasim in California, urging them to “stay strong”.&nbsp;“There are millions of people around the world who are sick of political prosecutions. You are not alone.”&nbsp;Imran’s sons also met with Dr Asif Mahmood, a Pakistani American physician who has been playing a key role in the PTI’s campaign to win over Americans.&nbsp;Dr Mahmood, vice chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), also shared a picture of the meeting with Grenell and Imran’s sons.&nbsp;“Immense pride for [Kasim] and Sulaiman Khan for their bravery in fighting for their father, former prime minister Imran Khan’s freedom,” he said.&nbsp;He also praised Grenell for “standing for justice and principle” and called for unity to free the PTI founder.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After Trump won the presidential elections in December 2024, Grenell made a series of statements and penned tweets, including a viral “Free Imran Khan!” post on X.&nbsp;He criticised the policies of ex-president Joe Biden’s administration toward Pakistan, particularly its handling of the country’s missile programme and Imran’s imprisonment. Subsequently, Pakistan’s political and diplomatic machinery in the US ramped up efforts to engage with the new Congress.&nbsp;Last week, during a congressional hearing on Pakistan, Republican Congressman Christopher H. Smith suggested that the US Congress may soon urge Trump to consider imposing sanctions on countries that suppress religious freedom and violate human rights.&nbsp;Speakers at the hearing also discussed the rights situation in Pakistan.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although the Pakistan government has not commented officially on Imran’s sons, Minister of State for Law and Justice Barrister Aqeel Malik had said that Article 16 of the Constitution, which grants the right to gather, was applicable to citizens and foreigners are not allowed to assemble in Pakistan.&nbsp;Malik also said that the two brothers could not legally participate in local political activity as they were British nationals, and that if they “violate the visa conditions, the visa can be cancelled”.&nbsp;
