Imran Khan accuses judges for selling their souls

Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday accused the judges in the country of “selling their souls for personal privileges”, saying he and his wife are not getting justice from courts.
Khan, 73, has been incarcerated since August 2023 and is currently lodged in the high-security Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, in multiple cases against him. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder leader made the accusations in a telephonic conversation with his sons on Eid, which they posted on his X account on Monday. His son Kasim Khan said the former cricketer-turned-politician wanted his message to be conveyed to the public. “The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again, we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity,” the post quoted him as saying.
Making an indirect reference to the country’s powerful military establishment, Khan said, “They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How can they allow this inhumane treatment of Bushra Bibi (his third wife), simply to blackmail me? She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. Khan said that it was “un-Islamic” to harm women, children and the elderly, and their motives are plain.
