The second fabricated Toshakhana case is being hurriedly pushed through in court

USPA NEWS - The second fabricated Toshakhana case is being hurriedly pushed through in court. Only a few weeks ago, the testimony of the prosecution’s primary witness was exposed as false before the court. Thereafter, my former Military Secretary Brigadier Ahmed and Deputy Military Secretary Colonel Rehan also confirmed that all documentation of gifts was completed strictly in accordance with the rules. All lawyers agree that this case should have been dismissed at the outset by the judge. Despite this, a maliciously motivated and fabricated case continues to be carried forward.

Similarly, another fabricated case against me, the so-called “Cipher Case” - which is the most expensive case in Pakistan’s history, on which tens of millions of the people’s money from the national exchequer has been wasted - proved so weak before the High Court that it should not have survived at the trial court in the first place.

A third major case was manufactured about the Al-Qadir University Trust. Al-Qadir is a welfare-oriented educational institution whose objective is to provide both scientific and religious education to the youth. It was established a year before the funds sanctioned by the Supreme Court were remitted. Yet, by raising absurd questions against a charitable institution, a baseless case was fabricated which had already been dismissed at the trial court stage. Since January, we have been seeking a hearing date in the Islamabad High Court, and now, after ten months, the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, Justice Dogar, has scheduled it to be heard on the 16th of October (2025).

The undue haste being shown by Judge Arjumand in the Toshakhana-II case has an underlying motive: to deliver a conviction in this case, so that even if bail is granted in the Al-Qadir case, it would not be possible for me to be released. It is noteworthy that in the past twelve years, three Toshakhana-related cases have all been before this same judge. By law, vehicles cannot be taken from the Toshakhana, yet Nawaz Sharif unlawfully took a bulletproof Mercedes, Asif Zardari illegally extracted three vehicles, and Maryam Nawaz, after unlawfully acquiring a vehicle, neither declared it nor showed it in her tax returns. All of this is on record with irrefutable evidence, yet their cases are not being taken up at all, while a selective and baseless trial against me for lawfully acquired gifts is being fast-tracked.

In the Al-Qadir Trust case, since Zulfi Bukhari persistently refused to give false testimony against me, his property in Pakistan is now being auctioned, due to political vendetta. This is the worst example of political victimization. This lawlessness is what I call “Asim Law”. Decisions in the country today are dictated by whether one is aligned with or opposed to “Asim Law”.

If you stand with Asim Law, miracles can take place. No matter how massive your wheat scandal may be, no one questions you. If you illegally obtain cars from Toshakhana, no case is filed against you. Whether it is the sugar mafia or the land mafia, as long as you are under the umbrella of Asim Law, you remain untouchable. But if you stand against Asim Law, then fabricated cases are concocted against you, you are thrown into prison, and you and your family are subjected to every conceivable form of injustice unprecedented in this nation’s history.

I wish to convey this message to my Pakistanis: the very foundations of moral and judicial values in Pakistan have been torn apart. If you do not rise today for your rights and for the rule of law, the times ahead will be catastrophic. Injustice and fascism will further devastate the economy. In the past three years alone, more than three million Pakistanis have left the country. The policies of the incompetent and fraudulent government have inflicted irreparable damage upon the economy: textile mills are shutting down exports, and the poor masses are rapidly falling below the poverty line. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “A system based on disbelief can endure, but one built on injustice cannot.” We must rise against this tyranny, for the sake of our own future and that of our nation. Therefore, I am sending this message to the entire nation: Get ready.” Message from former Prime Minister Imran Khan from prison - October 1st, 2025
