Imran Khan, the former prime minister who is currently in jail, wrote a letter to Pakistan's Army chief, General Asim Munir. In the letter, he criticised the military's policies and called for a review of its approach to national security and governance. This comes as his party is planning protests to mark the first anniversary of the general elections later this week.

Gohar Ali Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, told the media on Monday that Khan, who has been detained at Adiala Jail Rawalpindi for more than a year, submitted the letter from the prison. Gohar stated that the letter's contents would be shared with the public. He mentioned that Khan, in his letter, highlighted the growing gap between the people and the establishment. “This [mistrust] should not take place at all, but there are certain reasons because of which this gulf is widening. Owing to those reasons, the army is being blamed, so the policy reasons must be reevaluated,” Khan wrote in the letter.

In a letter, Khan claimed that the "establishment is backing those who have twice benefited from the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)," referring to previous political agreements that spared leaders from corruption prosecution, his attorney Faisal Fareed Chaudhry told the media. Khan voiced his concerns about the country's economic instability, the fairness of the recent general elections, and the government's actions against his party. He also urged the army chief to reconsider certain policies. He stated that the current policies were creating resentment among the public and increasing the divide between civilians and the military. He also mentioned recent changes in cyber laws and discussed the alleged actions taken against his party.

This letter follows another one sent by Khan last week to Chief Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Aminuddin. In that letter, he raised concerns about human rights violations, electoral fraud, and the arrests of his party workers. Khan has urged his followers to protest on February 8 against what he claims was election rigging last year. His letters might be an attempt to rally support before the planned demonstration.
