ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has penned a letter to Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir to “revise the policies”.
Speaking to media outside Adiala Jail, Imran Khan's lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, stated that the PTI founder sent a six-point letter to the army chief as former prime minister and party leader.
Faisal Chaudhry stated that Imran Khan requested the army chief to revise the policies. The letter also includes content on the country's fraudulent elections, the 26th Constitutional Amendment, PECA law, state terrorism against PTI, the constitutional responsibilities of intelligence agencies, and the national economic situation.
According to Faisal Chaudhry, the letter mentions that a gap is growing between the army and the nation, primarily due to the establishment's policies. It further states that the establishment has sided with those who have benefited from NROs twice, leading to public resentment.
According to Faisal Chaudhry, the first point in the letter concerns fraudulent elections and the victory of money launderers. The second point addresses the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the rule of law, and the impact on the judiciary. The PTI founder also referenced the Al-Qadir Trust case decision.

The fourth point highlights terrorism cases, raids, and firing against PTI, while the fifth discusses the functioning of intelligence agencies.
The letter expresses solidarity with the army in the fight against terrorism, acknowledging the military’s daily sacrifices and emphasising the nation's support for the armed forces.
Imran Khan also criticised the crackdown on social media, stating that the PECA law was introduced to suppress criticism, criminalising free speech and threatening journalists, which ultimately harms the army's reputation.
He further mentioned the country's economic struggles, blaming the government for affecting the economy by controlling the rupee's value.
The letter also raises concerns about the decline in investment, internet shutdowns, the need for a judicial commission, and policy changes.
