Pakistan government announced the implementation of Section 144 in Rawalpindi district. This step was taken when rumors regarding the health and presence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan intensified. The administration feared that their party PTI might protest on a large scale across the country. In view of this, every type of crowd and gathering has been banned from 1st to 3rd December.

In the orders issued by District Deputy Commissioner Dr. Hasan Waqar Cheema, it has been clearly stated that no crowd will be allowed to gather in any form during these three days. The administration also made it clear that carrying weapons, roaming around with sticks or any kind of inflammable material, trying to remove police barricades and playing loud speakers will be completely prohibited. There is a ban on even seating of two people on a motorcycle. The government says that they have received confidential inputs which indicate violence and chaos.

PTI complaint

Imran Khan is lodged in Adiala jail since August last year. His party alleges that they have neither been allowed to see their leader for more than a month, nor are they being made to talk to him in any verified manner. PTI leaders claim that the government is hiding their condition and that is why the party was preparing for a massive peaceful demonstration, but the administration has already tried to control the situation by banning any kind of rally or meeting.

Statement of Imran Khan’s son

Qasim Khan, who lives abroad, expressed deep concern while speaking to Reuters. He said that there has been no contact with his father for months, nor has the family received any reliable information about him. According to Qasim, this situation has become like mental torture for the family. He alleged that the jail administration is not allowing the meeting despite the orders of the High Court and he fears that the situation has become very serious.

Why is the administration afraid? Intelligence report increased concern

The report of the district intelligence committee has indicated that some groups may try to take the protests to sensitive locations belonging to the army. After this warning, the government has clarified that Section 144 is necessary to prevent any untoward situation and maintain public safety. In view of the recent political situation, the administration does not want to take any risk.

The journey from a legendary captain to a jail cell

Imran Khan, who made Pakistan the champion in the Cricket World Cup 1992, later became the Prime Minister and remained in power from 2018 to 2022. Many cases are going on against him since last year, in which he was also sentenced. Khan says that all the cases are an act of political vendetta, but now the questions being raised about his condition in jail have added a new twist to the politics of Pakistan.

Late night on Wednesday (26 November 2025) in Pakistan, the news suddenly started spreading on social media that the condition of former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan is very bad or he has died. Within no time, this rumor spread so rapidly that thousands of people gathered outside Adiala Jail and there was a stir in the entire country. PTI workers started emergency demonstrations in Rawalpindi, Peshawar and many cities.

Amidst the increasing pressure of rumours, the jail administration had to issue an official statement. Officials say that Imran Khan is completely healthy in jail and there is no threat to his safety. The administration also clarified that Imran has not been taken to any other place and the news circulating on social media is completely fabricated.

PTI’s allegation

Despite the statement of the jail administration, PTI leaders claim that Imran Khan has been secretly shifted to some other place. He says that for many days neither the family is being allowed inside nor the lawyers are being allowed to meet him. For this reason, a big rally has been organized in Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has announced to meet Imran.

Bushra Bibi’s old allegations behind spreading rumors

The allegations made earlier by Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi are also being held responsible for making the atmosphere more tense. After coming out of jail, he had said that a plan was made to poison Imran Khan and Army Chief Asim Munir wanted to eliminate him. These statements had already created deep doubts in the minds of people, due to which this rumor spread very fast.

Why is the government silent? Questions are increasing in people’s minds

Imran Khan’s supporters are constantly asking that if he is healthy then why is there a ban on meetings. The silence of the government and the army on what is happening inside the jail has further deepened the doubts of PTI supporters. Due to the long standing conflict between Imran and Army Chief Asim Munir, people are watching the incidents from a political perspective.

Pakistan’s increasing political tension

Imran Khan’s arrest, court case, conflict with the army and now rumors of death have destabilized Pakistan’s politics. The country is already struggling with economic and social crisis, so this incident is creating more tension. Political analysts believe that this dispute may take a bigger form in the coming days.
