Even a day before the 71st birthday of Pakistan’s ex Prime Minister Imran Khan, which falls on 5th October,2023, #HappyBirthdayImranKhan already becomes top trend on X.
On October 5, 1952, Khan was born at Lahore into a Pashtun family from Mianwali.
Unfortunate for Imran khan and his supporters, the ex PM will not be able to celebrate his birthday with his loved ones as he is currently under arrest.
Political Turmoil for Imran Khan on his Birthday
Imran Khan is going to be 71 years old as he has his birthday tomorrow on 5th Oct. Despite being behind bars, he is the most popular politician in country at the moment.
Following the Toshakhana case conviction, Khan was detained on August 5. He was brought to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi city on Tuesday night after spending more than three weeks at Attock Jail. It is located around 100 kilometres (62 miles) away from the Capital. Khan was taken to Attock Jail after being convicted in a corruption case only two months ago.
Attock is one of the largest jails in the country. However, Khan’s attorneys had petitioned the Islamabad High Court for him to be transferred to another jail. They alleged that he was being denied facilities that were allowed under prison rules.
Videos shared on social media showed Khan’s fans lining the road and tossing flower petals as a massive police convoy transported him to Rawalpindi.
Khan is still being held in detention despite the fact that the Islamabad High Court reversed his conviction in August. The authorities are investigating the leakage of a secret diplomatic cable known as “Cipher.” Khan asserts that this leak validates his accusation that the United States was responsible for his ouster from office. Case proceedings are in progress and Khan is under custody until 10 October as of now.
However, the United States and Pakistani officials both deny the allegation.
