My Dear fellow Pakistanis, Assalam o Alaikum – Peace Be Upon You
I salute the courage and resilience of the fearless patriots who have embarked on an arduous journey, traversing hundreds of kilometres from far and difficult areas of Pakistan to stand against oppression. Your determination to march towards Islamabad, undeterred by the tyranny of unjust rulers, is a beacon of hope and inspiration. The historic long march and protests of recent days have sent a powerful message to the world: Imran Khan has ignited a transformation, forging Pakistanis into a united nation with a shared vision, unyielding courage, and a clear path to achieve its goals.
To the valiant people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, and Balochistan, I extend my heartfelt admiration. You have exemplified bravery, dignity, and resolve, demonstrating to the 250 million Pakistanis how to advance toward our collective aspirations and aims. As the march nears its destination at Islamabad’s D-Chowk, let us remember this is not the end but the beginning of a greater battle—a campaign for justice and true freedom.
To those participating in this historic movement, know that your fight transcends personal stakes; it is a struggle for every Pakistani. Those who have yet to join due to fear or other constraints, I
urge you: summon your courage and march toward Islamabad. The burden of this movement should be shared by all. Let us unite to amplify the sacrifices and efforts of millions who have risen for this cause.
Meanwhile, the shameless propagandists of the corrupt regime, aided by a complicit and ethically compromised media, have launched a campaign of disinformation. Yet, I commend the tireless efforts of social media warriors who, despite great personal risk, continue to reveal the truth to Pakistan and the world.
Fellow Pakistanis, this is our moment of reckoning. We will not falter, for victory is within reach. Pakistan will rise to become the nation envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and our forefathers—a land of justice, equality, and freedom.
Whether you reside in Pakistan or live abroad, reflect on what role you can play to support Imran Khan’s mission. How can you contribute to dismantling a decayed system and achieving true independence? The time for action is now. Together, let us build the Pakistan of our dreams.
