IMRAN KHAN'S DEATH RUMOURS EXPLODE: SISTERS DENIED ACCESS, JAIL SAYS "HE'S FINE," BUT NOBODY'S SEEN HIM IN WEEKS The last 48 hours in Pakistan have been straight-up chaotic over Imran Khan. Wild rumours hit social media yesterday claiming the former PM had been killed in Adiala Jail, some accounts even said his body had been secretly moved out. PTI supporters lost it, thousands rushed the jail gates, his 3 sisters camped outside getting manhandled by cops, full-on riots vibe. PTI says the last family/lawyer meeting was November 4, that's 3 weeks of total blackout, even though courts ordered bi-weekly visits. Health-wise: Official line is he's fine. Unofficial chatter from PTI circles is that he's lost serious weight, has vision issues, and there's growing paranoia over slow poisoning. No independent doctor has seen him in ages, no photos, no video proof since forever, so the rumours keep cooking. What this means for Pakistan's "democracy" is brutal: it's basically dead. Imran still pulls 70-80% approval in every leaked poll. Pakistan hasn't had a PM finish a full term in decades, and right now it's not even pretending to be a democracy anymore. It's a straight military hybrid regime using courts, media, and everything it can to crush the one guy the masses actually want. And until he's out and elections are free, Imran Khan's supporters don't believe they have a functioning "democracy," they see it as a military dictatorship wearing a cheap civilian mask.

His sister Aleema Khan told a popular Indian TV channel : "He is in jail ... they have offered that he can leave the country and the charges will be dropped. He (Imran) said I will face the charges....the offer came from the establishment (another word often used for Pak Army).  

"Indirectly messages have been sent to him; messages have been given to us indirectly. ... people approached us and said you know he should solve this out and he should sort of agree to what has been offered ... keep quiet, don't do politics".  

She said the 'establishment' or the real power in Pakistan wants "this rigged government continue ... or leave the country. These are the various offers .... indirectly we have been given these messages".  

"What he (Imran Khan) is fighting for ... is not for himself." she said.

The measure of Imran Khan's public standing is also evident in Pak authorities being forced into rare public denials; jail authorities quickly released a statement declaring him alive, well and receiving medical care. But no visual proof was provided and that raised eyebrows.  

Imran has taken on Pakistan's ethnic power bloc—the Punjabis, dominant and accustomed to holding the country's wealth, authority, and institutions.

Asim Munir might have the entire Pakistani army under his command, but nothing scares him more than Imran Khan. Munir engineered a regime change and put Imran behind bars, but the cricketer-turned-politician's aura has only grown. This is why one Pathan scares Pakistan's Punjabi-led hybrid regime. 

"Asim Munir's fear of Imran Khan is so deep that he resorts to abduction, torture, and jailing anyone who dares to stand with Imran Khan. 

A powerless, insecure dictator masquerading as a general cannot silence a nation awakened by truth," said his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), from one of its verified handles on November 20 — the 17th day of Imran Khan being detained with access to no acquaintance.
