Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan criticised Army Chief Asim Munir, accusing him of imposing "Asim Law" and collapsing law and order. Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has once again trained his guns at Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, saying that the law and order has totally collapsed in the country as 'Asim Law" has been imposed in Pakistan. The 72-year-old cricketer-turned-politician, who has been incarcerated since August 2023 after he was booked in multiple cases, accused the country's military intelligence agency, ISI of protecting Munir. 'Field Marshal Asim Munir is disgracing the military just as Yahya Khan once did," he said. The former Prime Minister also took a dig at the Shehbaz Sharif-led government, saying that a 'Dacoits-and-Duffers Alliance' has taken full control of Pakistan. 'At this time, the Parliament, PM Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari and the courts are all unconstitutional," he said. He also accused the Army Chief of shooting and killing the unarmed civilians on November 26, 2024, in Islamabad. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members to hold Munir 'accountable and responsible" if anything happens to him in prison. He had alleged mistreatment of himself and his wife, Bushra Bibi, saying that their basic rights have been systematically stripped away. Khan had said that he is being treated worse than convicted terrorists, saying that a military officer serving a sentence for murder was enjoying VIP treatment in jail. 'Meanwhile, I am subjected to relentless abuse. But no matter what they do, I have never bowed before oppression, and I never will," he said. What Happened In November? Last year in November, Pakistan's security forces launched a sweeping midnight raid on supporters of jailed former premier who had stormed the capital demanding his release. Thousands of protesters had gathered in the centre of Islamabad after a convoy, led by Khan's wife, broke through several lines of security all the way to the edge of the city's highly fortified red zone. At least six people, including four paramilitary soldiers, were killed in the clash. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office said in a statement that four members of the security services were killed when they were rammed by a vehicle. PTI spokesman Zulfikar Bukhari rejected the government's claim that the security forces were killed after being rammed by a vehicle. He said two protesters were killed and 30 injured in the clashes. One of the protesters was shot dead, and the other was run over by a vehicle, Bukhari had said. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘We Won't Tolerate More Violence': KP CM Blasts ISI For Aiding Militants, Destabilising Province
Last Updated: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Ali Amin Gandapur alleged that ISI and MI 'own' the militants operating in the region and are responsible for the escalating terror threat In a scathing indictment of Pakistan's powerful military establishment, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has accused the country's top intelligence agencies, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI), of fostering militancy and fuelling violence in the province. Addressing an All Parties Conference in Peshawar, CM Gandapur said the ISI and MI are planting and protecting militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He alleged that the agencies effectively 'own" the militants operating in the region and are directly responsible for the escalating terror threat. The chief minister emphasised that his government has cleared all areas of militants and conducted multiple operations against them. However, he said the efforts of the provincial police and administration are being actively undermined by the intelligence agencies, who continue to shield extremists under the guise of supporting so-called 'Good Taliban". Rejecting this distinction outright, Gandapur declared that the province does not want the 'Good Taliban" being protected by the ISI and MI. 'We don't want your Good Taliban in the province," he said. He issued a strong warning, saying the people of KP will not tolerate further violence. If the agencies wished to continue playing 'dirty games," he said, they might as well officially recruit the militants and give them uniforms. According to the chief minister, the worsening security situation in the province cannot be brought under control because of the influence and interference of ISI and MI. He further revealed that whenever KP Police arrest militants, individuals from ISI arrive to secure their release. Indian Intelligence Sources: 'Old Story Of ISI' Top Indian intelligence sources told CNN-News18 that these developments reflect a familiar pattern. According to them, the ISI has long opposed stability in areas governed by Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They believe the agency is deliberately turning these regions into terror hubs to weaken the PTI's leadership and governance. The broader goal, they say, is to portray CM Gandapur as a failed administrator and pressure him into resignation. The sources also commented on the deteriorating condition of Imran Khan, adding that his sister has already announced plans to approach the International Court of Justice. She has also described the prevailing system in Pakistan as being under 'Asim Law," a reference to Army Chief General Asim Munir's growing dominance in the country's political landscape. These revelations lay bare the deepening cracks between Pakistan's civilian government and its military-intelligence establishment, even as the country continues to grapple with political instability and rising militant violence.
