Qasim Khan, son of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is lodged in Pakistan’s Adiala jail, has created a stir in the country with his speech given at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva. Pakistan’s Shahbaz Sharif government has become so enraged by Qasim Khan’s speech that it has termed this speech as a conspiracy to harm the country. The Pakistan government said that Qasim Khan has tried to weaken the country’s Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP Plus) status through his speech.

Pakistan’s Union Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, Punjab Province Information Minister Azma Bukhari and Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon have criticized Imran Khan’s son Qasim Khan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zulfi Bukhari. He said that this is a completely well-planned conspiracy, the aim of which is to snatch away the GSP Plus status of Pakistan.

Qasim Khan, son of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, during his address to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Wednesday (March 25, 2026) appealed that the UN should put pressure on the Shehbaz Sharif government of Pakistan to immediately release his father Imran Khan from jail. He said, ‘We request the UNHRC to press Pakistan to end the harassment against PTI Chief Imran Khan and immediately release him from jail and the Government of Pakistan should follow the opinion of the UN Working-Group and release him (Imran Khan).

Pakistan ministers accused Qasim

Accusing Qasim Khan, Pakistan’s ministers said that the aim of Qasim and his associates is to end Pakistan’s GSP Plus status. This anti-Pakistan group is working closely with the Israeli lobby in the European Union and people associated with the banned Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA).

What is Pakistan’s GSP Plus status?

Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP Plus) is a special incentive scheme that provides exemption from import tariffs on two-thirds of the country’s export products to developing countries in exchange for promoting sustainable development and governance. This status is considered very important for Pakistan’s exports and employment. Pakistan’s ministers say that after getting GSP status, the country’s exports have increased by 40 percent.

It has been more than two years since former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was jailed. He has been behind the bars for about 845 days. The family of former Prime Minister Imran Khan is not being allowed to meet him, nor is any PTI leader allowed to meet him. Meanwhile, late night drama was seen outside Pakistan’s Adiala Jail, while on the other hand, a post by Imran Khan’s son has created a stir in the matter. As soon as the message of Imran’s son Qasim Khan appeared on social media, uneasiness spread in many parts of the country.

Qasim Khan, who lives in Britain, wrote on Twitter that Imran Khan has been kept in such a place for the last six weeks where neither contact with anyone is allowed nor any information is being given to the family. He wrote that he had no proof of his father being alive. There was a storm in political circles after this statement. Qasim and his brothers generally stay away from politics, but this time the circumstances forced them to come out openly.

Efforts are being made to hide Imran

Qasim says that this situation is not a part of security but a well-thought-out plan, in which his father has been completely isolated. They allege that despite court orders several times, the sisters were not allowed inside the jail. The lawyers were also not allowed to meet, which increased the mystery over the whole matter.

Imran Khan’s security is Pakistan’s responsibility

Qasim has appealed to the United Nations, international human rights organizations and democratic governments of the world to put pressure on Pakistan so that the true status of Imran Khan is known. He says that if any untoward incident happens to Imran Khan, the responsibility for it will be directly on the Pakistan government.

Drama of Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province

Found watching a high voltage drama at midnight outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The newly appointed Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Sohail Afridi, has been sitting on a dharna outside Adiala Jail since yesterday evening to meet Imran Khan. According to Sohail Afridi, he is sitting on the dharna so that the international media can see how in Pakistan, a Chief Minister is not being allowed to meet Imran Khan by flouting the orders of the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and the High Court.

Cleanliness of government and jail administration

The government’s stand is completely opposite. The jail administration announced that Imran Khan was not being given any kind of trouble. According to him, Imran is getting those facilities in jail, which are not possible for any ordinary prisoner. Pakistan’s Defense Minister even said that Imran has been given special food, gym facilities and comfortable arrangements.

PTI pressure
After a long tension, the jail administration assured that Imran Khan’s sister Alima Khan and other family members would be allowed to meet. After this the protests calmed down a bit and everyone’s eyes were now focused on this meeting.
