Where is Imran Khan? His silence increased concern in Pakistan, son asked for proof of his being alive. Are they safe or is something being hidden in the prison? Shashi Tharoor raised serious questions, will the secrets be revealed now or will they become deeper?
New Delhi. A big mystery is deepening regarding former Prime Minister of Pakistan and founder of PTI Imran Khan. Many rumors have spread in the last few days regarding the health, safety and location of Imran Khan, who is in jail since August 2023. It was claimed on social media that Imran had been harmed in custody, while Pakistani officials are continuously calling these reports false. But meanwhile, the statement of Imran Khan’s son Qasim Khan came out, in which he clearly said that he needs proof of his father being alive. This appeal made the whole matter more serious. How is Imran Khan’s health? Is he safe in jail or not? And the biggest question – where is he? The government of Pakistan is not giving answers to all these questions openly. This is the reason why this matter is no longer limited to Pakistan only, but has become a topic of discussion in India also.
Congress MP raised questions on the silence of Pakistani government
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has also expressed concern over the doubts and silence being raised regarding Imran Khan. He says that the rumors continuing for several days and the continuous appeals of the family show that the matter has indeed become serious. Tharoor believes that when there is so much uncertainty about the former Prime Minister of a country, it does not seem right for the government to remain silent.

Since when is Imran Khan in jail?
Imran Khan is in jail since August 2023 and is serving a 14-year sentence in a corruption case. But in recent times many rumors have spread regarding his condition. Some social media posts even said that he was “harmed in custody.” Although the Pakistan government has denied these claims, still no concrete evidence or video has surfaced.
Is Pakistan hiding something? Why is the government silence so long?
This matter has become more mysterious because no official medical report, video, photo or statement has come out from Pakistan’s side. It was only said that “Imran Khan is fine.” But when the family itself is unaware, such simple statements increase suspicion. The question of the people is that if everything is fine, then what is the problem in giving evidence to the government?
Son Qasim Khan’s appeal – is this a sign that even the family does not trust him?
Imran Khan’s son Qasim Khan said in a public message that the only thing he wants is “proof of my father being alive.” Such a big question for any family comes up only when they are not being given correct information. This appeal of Qasim has made the whole matter very emotional and sensitive, because it shows that even the family is not confident that Imran Khan is safe.
Are the rumors true? Or just political games?
Some posts on social media claimed that Imran suffered an injury during custody. PTI leaders called it fake, but no official came forward with direct evidence. At the same time, some people are dismissing it as politics and rumour. This ambiguity is making the whole matter like a ‘mystery death feeling’. What is the truth – only the Government of Pakistan can answer this. But the question remains that why is the government not speaking?
Why did Shashi Tharoor say “You cannot make someone disappear by putting him in jail”
Tharoor clearly said that even if this is an internal matter of Pakistan, the safety of a human being is most important. He also said that Imran Khan is not just a leader but also the favorite cricketer of millions of people across the world. People want to know what’s happening to them?
Fear of increasing international pressure
Tharoor’s statement also indicates that if Pakistan does not provide clear information soon, the matter may fall into the realm of international humanitarian concern.
