Imran Khan's media talk on September 14, 2024, from Adiyala Jail:
Imran Khan announced plans for a street movement, expressing his discontent with ongoing constitutional amendments. "We are preparing the party for a street movement. If they think we will remain silent, they are mistaken. I will protest." He emphasized that any attempt to silence his party would not succeed.
Referring to another FIR filed against him, Imran Khan urged the authorities to read the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report to the public. He claimed, "Had the recommendations of the report been implemented, there would have never been martial law in Pakistan."
Khan criticized the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People's Party (PPP), saying, “PML-N and PPP are not doing politics; they are doing slavery." He accused them of betraying their slogan, 'Respect the Vote,' and instead giving 'Respect to the Boots,' referring to military support. "Their politics will end if the boots stop supporting them," he asserted.
Imran Khan claimed that democracy in Pakistan had ended, stating, "When a party with less than 20 seats was seated in Parliament, democracy ended right there." He also highlighted media restrictions and alleged threats against judges. Furthermore, he accused the government of attempting to protect against
human rights violations and electoral fraud by promoting Justice Qazi Faez Isa, hinting that the new constitutional amendment was designed to extend his tenure.

Khan alleged that Shehbaz Sharif was about to be convicted in a money laundering case, but former army chief General Bajwa intervened to save him. "The money laundering case against Shehbaz Sharif was proven," he said, adding that the other cases against Shehbaz, Nawaz Sharif, and Ishaq Dar were long-standing.
In response to questions from journalists, Imran Khan criticized the abductions of members of Parliament without the Speaker's consent, warning that this could happen to others in the future. On the drug case against Rana Sanaullah, Khan clarified that the case was initiated by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) and that his government was informed after the ANF presented evidence.
Khan condemned restrictions on his party’s rallies, questioning whether Pakistan had become a police state. "For a year and a half, we have not been allowed to hold any rallies. Either the judiciary should declare that democracy has ended in the country, or we should be allowed to hold our rallies." He vowed to proceed with a planned rally in Lahore, stating, "Holding a rally is our democratic and constitutional right. No one can stop us."
Imran Khan concluded with a powerful message: "When there is a struggle for freedom, sacrifices must be made. Freedom needs blood and sweat. Democracy is being massacred; the nation should think about what they want for themselves."
