War Drums, Prison Walls, and a Nation on Edge: Imran Khan’s Sister Accuses Army Chief Asim Munir of Steering Pakistan Toward Conflict
A storm is raging inside Pakistan—one that is not only political but existential. From behind the iron gates of Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, the voice of former Prime Minister Imran Khan continues to echo across the nation, carried forward now by his family.
And this week, it was his sister Aleema Khan who detonated a political bombshell on an international platform.
In a tense, emotionally charged interview with Sky News journalist Yalda Hakim, Aleema unleashed a blistering attack on Pakistan’s most powerful man: General Asim Munir, soon to become the country’s first Chief of Defence Forces.
With steely conviction, she accused him of dragging Pakistan toward a dangerous confrontation with its neighbour—India
“A Radicalised Islamist Hungry for War”
Aleema labelled Munir “a radicalised Islamist” whose rigid ideological beliefs, she claims, are fuelling the escalating military rhetoric dominating South Asia’s geopolitical landscape.
His radical conservatism forces him toward war. He yearns for conflict with India. Anyone who does not follow his version of Islam becomes an enemy.” — Aleema Khan
Her words cut sharply through Pakistan’s political silence.
She contrasted Munir’s worldview with that of her brother, insisting Imran is a liberal democrat who consistently pushed for peace and economic partnership with India—even with Prime Minister Modi and the BJP.
Whenever Imran governs, you see peace efforts. Whenever people like Asim Munir rise, war becomes inevitable.”
A Nation on the Brink
Tensions exploded earlier this year after Munir declared that Kashmir was the ‘jugular vein’ of Pakistan and claimed Muslims and Hindus could never coexist.
Intelligence sources believe this ideological posturing sparked the Pahalgam attack in April, which killed 26 civilians in India.
What followed was India’s massive retaliation—Operation Sindoor—which flattened terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistani territory and struck multiple military sites.
Since then, Munir has repeatedly threatened a “decisive response” to even a minor provocation.
Pakistan, already battling economic collapse, appears now to be teetering on the edge of war.
Voices From a Prison Cell
Amid rumours of assassination attempts and reports of deteriorating health, Imran Khan released a statement through PTI, calling Munir a “mentally unstable tyrant” and warning that his life is in danger.
All that is left for them is to murder me.”I am held in a death-row cage, tortured, treated worse than animals.”
He accused Munir of weaponising the judiciary, imprisoning him and his wife on fabricated charges, and unleashing a wave of brutality unseen even during Pakistan’s past dictatorships.
He has sacrificed Pakistan to terrorism for his own power.”
A Cry for International Intervention
Aleema pleaded with Western powers to act before Pakistan collapses into violence: Imran is an asset to democracy. The West must intervene before this crisis becomes irreversible.”
For millions of Pakistanis, the question is no longer about politics—it is about survival.
Will Pakistan step back from the abyss?
Or is the region marching toward a war that could reshape South Asia forever?
The world is watching.
And the clock is ticking.
