Imran Khan told the Guardian that any agreement or negotiation with the military would follow certain principles. It will be in the interest of the people. There will be no personal gains or such compromises undermining Pakistan's democratic values.
Imran Khan also said, 'I will spend the rest of my life in prison rather than compromise my principles.'
It is widely accepted that former cricket star Imran Khan came to power in 2018 with the support of the army. The country's military is seen as the kingmakers of Pakistani politics. At the same time, the army's intervention is seen as a major obstacle to the country's democracy. In 2022, Imran Khan's relationship with the country's army was torn apart. As a result, Imran was ousted. Then he started criticizing the army. He was also charged with attempted murder. He also accused them of keeping him imprisoned.
Currently there are more than 100 cases against Imran Khan. He claimed that the army and political opponents are behind these cases. Currently, his political opponents are in power in Pakistan by forming a coalition government. Last June, Imran Khan's arbitrary detention was declared illegal by a United Nations agency.
