New Delhi: The news of the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has shocked everyone. His supporters took to the streets and chanted slogans against the administration. Although the jail administration denied reports of his murder, public suspicion continues to grow.
This is because his sisters are not being allowed to meet him. Once again, some Pakistani experts are recalling an incident from 46 years ago, which will make you worry about Imran Khan. It will be surprising to know that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged in prison. People are wondering if a similar incident could have happened to Imran Khan. The denial of access to any family member also raises suspicions.
Suspicions of a Zulfikar Bhutto-like incident with Imran Khan
A newspaper in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s neighbouring country, has claimed that Imran Khan died in prison. The Pakistani jail administration has denied such reports. First, Afghanistan’s claim, then the prison’s denial, and now the family’s ban on meeting Imran Khan have raised several serious questions.
Seeing such activities, memories of 1979 are being revived. In fact, in this same Rawalpindi jail, 51-year-old former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged. Now, 47 years later, former Prime Minister Imran Khan is being held in the same Rawalpindi jail. His sisters are waiting outside to meet him, but no one is listening.

Imran Khan’s supporters will be worried to know that in 1979, his daughter Benazir Khan stood outside the jail but was not allowed to meet her father. Even today, Imran Khan is not being allowed to meet anyone. In any case, the current Army Chief, Asim Munir, has changed the constitution there.
He has gained so much power there that all three armies are under his control. After the constitutional amendment, no court could prosecute him. At that time, General Zia-ul-Haq was in power. Zia-ul-Haq had the prison where Bhutto was hanged demolished to prevent anyone from erecting a memorial to him. A new prison was built, now Adiala Jail.
