Transcript
00:00Imran Khan, born on October 5, 1952, in Lahore, Pakistan, is one of the most iconic figures in cricket history.
00:09Widely regarded as one of the finest all-rounders the sport has ever seen, his cricketing legacy is not only defined by his personal achievements but also by his leadership, culminating in Pakistan's historic World Cup victory in 1992.
00:23Imran Khan began his cricketing journey at an early age. He studied at Atchison College in Lahore and later at the Royal Grammar School in Worcester, England.
00:33He went on to study at Keeble College, Oxford, where he further developed his cricketing skills and made a mark in the English county circuit.
00:41He made his test debut for Pakistan in 1971 against England at Edgbaston, but it wasn't until the mid-to-late 1970s that he began to make a significant impact on the international stage.
00:53By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Imran had established himself as a premier fast bowler and a reliable middle-order batsman.
01:03His ability to generate pace and reverse swing made him a lethal weapon, especially on unhelpful pitches in the subcontinent.
01:10He was also known for his charisma and commanding presence on the field.
01:15In 1982, he was appointed the captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
01:20Under his leadership, Pakistan began to emerge as a formidable side, both at home and abroad.
01:26He brought a sense of professionalism, discipline, and self-belief that had often been lacking in the team.

02:14The crowning achievement of Imran Khan's cricketing career came in 1992 when he led Pakistan to its first and only Cricket World Cup title.
02:23Despite a shaky start in the tournament, Imran's leadership inspired a dramatic turnaround.
02:29He famously rallied his team with the message to play like cornered tigers.
02:34In the final against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he led from the front by scoring 72 runs and taking a crucial wicket, securing a 22-run victory.
02:44This victory transformed him into a national hero and left an indelible mark on Pakistan cricket.
02:51Imran Khan retired from cricket after the 1992 World Cup.
02:55His influence on Pakistani cricket is profound, many credit him with instilling a winning mentality in the team.
03:02He mentored future stars like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Enzima Mulhak, all of whom would go on to become legends in their own right.
03:11Honours and recognition
03:13Named Wisdom Cricketer of the Year in 1983
03:17Inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2010
03:21Widely respected for popularizing reverse swing in international cricket
03:26The story of Kakut Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center is deeply personal and emotional for Imran Khan, rooted in the tragic loss of his beloved mother, Mrs. Kakut Khanum.
03:38In the mid-1980s, Imran Khan's mother, Kakut Khanum, was diagnosed with cancer.
03:44At that time, Pakistan lacked advanced cancer treatment facilities.
03:49She had to endure immense suffering due to the limited availability of medical care, and the family had to seek treatment abroad, a burden that many Pakistanis could not afford.
03:59Despite all efforts, she passed away in 1985, leaving a deep and lasting impact on Imran Khan.
04:06Witnessing his mother's pain and the helplessness of ordinary people in similar situations sparked a profound change in Imran.
04:13He resolved to address the glaring gap in cancer care in Pakistan.
04:18Following her death, Imran Khan committed himself to building Pakistan's first state-of-the-art cancer hospital, accessible to all, regardless of their ability to pay.
04:28He decided to name the hospital in her memory, Kakut Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center, SKMCH and RC.
04:37This decision marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, transitioning from cricket hero to humanitarian.
04:44Fundraising and Public Support
04:46To fund this ambitious project, Imran Khan launched an unprecedented nationwide and international fundraising campaign with his wife Jemima Khan and Princess of Wales Lady Diana.
04:57He used his popularity and credibility as a cricketer to appeal to people across all walks of life.
05:03He traveled extensively, organized charity events, and even knocked on doors to collect donations.
05:10His ability to mobilize the public and inspire belief in the cause was extraordinary.
05:15People responded generously, and even school children contributed their pocket money.
05:20The campaign symbolized the power of collective will and the trust the nation placed in him.
05:26After years of relentless effort, the Kakut Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center was officially inaugurated on December 29, 1994, in Lahore.
05:37It became the first charitable cancer hospital in Pakistan, providing free or subsidized care to the majority of its patients.
05:45The hospital was equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment facilities, and it quickly gained a reputation for high standards of care and professionalism.
05:54It also became a center for research and training, contributing to the advancement of oncology in Pakistan.
06:01Today, SKMCH and RC stands as a living tribute to Mrs. Kakut Khanum and a testament to Imran Khan's vision, determination, and compassion.
06:10The hospital has treated hundreds of thousands of cancer patients, many of whom would otherwise have had no hope.
06:17The success of the first hospital led to the establishment of additional facilities in Peshawar and Karachi, expanding access to cancer care across the country.
06:27In 1996, Princess Diana visited Lahore at the invitation of Imran Khan and his then-wife, Jemima Khan, to support the cause of cancer care in Pakistan.
06:38Her presence brought global attention and prestige to the hospital project.
06:43At the time, Diana was one of the most admired and beloved public figures in the world, known for her humanitarian efforts and empathy for the suffering.
06:52Her visit was not just ceremonial, it had a transformative impact.
06:57The people of Lahore and across Pakistan were deeply moved by the princess's graciousness and support.
07:03She attended a high-profile fundraising dinner, visited the hospital site, and was photographed alongside Imran Khan as a symbol of international solidarity with the cause.
07:13This moment galvanized the public, dramatically increasing trust in the project and encouraging many to donate generously.
07:20People who had been hesitant were now reassured that if someone of Princess Diana's stature believed in the cause, it must be worthy.
07:28Princess Diana's involvement also attracted global media coverage, amplifying awareness of the hospital beyond Pakistan's borders.
07:36Donations started pouring in not only from within the country but also from overseas Pakistanis and international donors.
07:43Her association lent credibility and moral weight to Imran Khan's mission.
07:48Though her visit was brief, its emotional and symbolic impact was long-lasting.
07:54Many credit it with helping to cross critical fundraising milestones, enabling the completion and operation of the hospital in its early stages.
08:03Princess Diana's visit to Lahore in support of the Kakatkanam Hospital was a turning point in the campaign.
08:09Her compassion, international stature, and heartfelt endorsement inspired countless people to open their hearts and wallets.
08:17It stands as a memorable moment in Pakistan's philanthropic history and further highlighted the global potential of humanitarian collaboration.
08:26This support resulted in the completion of the cancer hospital and also properly functioning for general public.
08:32After retiring from international cricket in 1992 and establishing the Kakatkanam Memorial Cancer Hospital, Imran Khan continued to be deeply engaged with Pakistan's social and public issues.
08:44As he traveled across the country for fundraising and charity work, he came face to face with the real struggles of ordinary Pakistanis, injustice, poverty, lack of healthcare, and most importantly, the absence of justice, equity, and accountability in the political and governance systems.
09:03Imran Khan became increasingly disillusioned with the existing political order.
09:08He saw a system riddled with corruption, elite capture, and lack of rule of law, where powerful individuals were above the law, and the common man was left without a voice.
09:18He believed that unless the system itself was reformed, charity and social work would not be enough to bring lasting change.
09:25He famously said that Pakistan didn't lack resources, it lacked justice, insaf, and leadership with integrity.
09:34Motivated by this vision for a just and accountable Pakistan, Imran Khan formally entered politics and founded his own political party, Pakistan Teraki Ansaf on April 25, 1996.
09:48The name literally means, Pakistan Movement for Justice.
09:52PTI's founding principles were built on three pillars.
09:56Justice, Insof, establishing an independent and fair judicial system.
10:01Humanity, insaniate, ensuring the dignity and rights of every citizen.
10:06Self-reliance, Qudari, creating a sovereign and economically independent Pakistan.
10:12The beginning was anything but easy.
10:15PTI struggled to gain a foothold in a political landscape dominated by two political parties which were ruling Pakistan over the last three decades with no progress in the country and it proved to be turning point for Imran Khan.
10:27Many dismissed Imran Khan as politically inexperienced or idealistic.
10:32However, he remained undeterred, believing in the power of perseverance and public awakening.
10:38Over the years, PTI slowly built a grassroots movement, particularly among the youth, middle class, and diaspora Pakistanis, who resonated with Imran Khan's message of clean governance and national dignity.
10:52A major breakthrough came in the 2013 general elections, when PTI emerged as the second-largest party by popular vote and formed a provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkwa .
11:04This gave Imran Khan the opportunity to demonstrate PTI's governance model.
11:09After years of mobilizing public support, organizing massive rallies, and consistently pushing for reforms, PTI won the 2018 general elections.
11:20Imran Khan became the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan on August 18, 2018.
11:26His victory was seen as a major political shift, bringing to power, for the first time, a leader with no political dynasty, but with a record of public service and a promise to fight corruption.
11:38After decades of political struggle and public service, Imran Khan became the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan in August 2018, following the Pakistan Teri Kiyansaf, PTI, s electoral victory in the general elections.
11:53His government was marked by major challenges, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately ended in controversy and political unrest.
12:02In early 2020, during the third year of his tenure, the coronavirus pandemic struck Pakistan, putting immense pressure on the country's fragile healthcare and economic systems.
12:13Imran Khan's government launched the ASOS emergency cash program, which was recognized internationally as one of the largest and most transparent social welfare initiatives in the developing world.
12:24The government also avoided a complete lockdown in favor of a smart lockdown strategy to protect livelihoods while containing the virus.
12:32Despite facing economic challenges, global inflation, and debt burdens, Imran Khan continued to promote a vision of self-reliance, anti-corruption reforms, and welfare-driven governance.
12:45In April 2022, Imran Khan's government was removed from power through a vote of no confidence in the National Assembly.
12:52Khan and his supporters alleged that this was not a routine political maneuver, but part of a foreign-backed conspiracy, with elements of the establishment and political rivals working together to undermine his government.
13:04This moment marked the beginning of a new phase of intense political conflict in Pakistan.
13:11Following his removal from office, Imran Khan began nationwide protests and mass mobilizations, demanding immediate elections and exposing what he claimed was a plot to neutralize him politically.
13:23During this campaign, in November 2022, Imran Khan survived an assassination attempt while leading a protest rally in Wazarabad, Punjab.
13:33A gunman opened fire on his container truck, and Khan sustained multiple bullet injuries in his leg.
13:39The incident shocked the nation and the world.
13:42Despite the gravity of the attack, Imran Khan's request to file a First Information Report against certain high-profile individuals was reportedly denied,
13:52sparking criticism and public outcry about the breakdown of legal and judicial accountability.
13:58In the months that followed, a systematic crackdown on PTI workers, leaders, and supporters was launched.
14:05Protestors faced.
14:07Police brutality.
14:09Mass arrests.
14:11Use of water cannons filled with allegedly contaminated water.
14:15Use of excessive force, including live ammunition in some instances.
14:20After having been shot, Imran Khan with millions of his supporters rushed to the cancer hospital constructed by Imran Khan for immediate medical treatment and removing bullet from his leg.
14:31His sons Qasim and Suleiman were very worried about his father in the United Kingdom.
14:36This period witnessed some of the worst confrontations between state institutions and civilians in Pakistan's recent political history.
14:44Critics accused the government and powerful elements of attempting to dismantle the PTI altogether.
14:51Despite increasing threats and pressure, Imran Khan did not surrender.
14:55He continued to speak out through public addresses, social media, and legal forums.
15:01However, in 2023, amidst a growing number of legal cases and mounting political tension, Imran Khan was arrested and remains behind bars as of now.
15:12Many view his incarceration as politically motivated, aimed at preventing him from contesting future elections or mobilizing public support.
15:20The journey of Imran Khan from a national cricket hero to a political leader and then a prisoner reflects a saga of resistance, confrontation, and enduring popularity.
15:31Despite attempts to eliminate him politically and even physically, millions of Pakistanis continue to support him, believing he stands for justice, sovereignty, and the empowerment of the common man.
15:43His imprisonment has not broken his resolve, and his party remains a powerful political force, fueled not only by his legacy but also by the perception that he is a victim of injustice and political engineering.
15:56His story, still unfolding, is one of unyielding defiance in the face of adversity, a symbol, for many, of hope, courage, and an undying commitment to a new Pakistan.
16:07The recent years in Pakistan's political history have been marked by extraordinary turbulence, with Imran Khan, the former prime minister and chairman of Pakistan Teri Kiyansaf, PTI, at the center of a relentless struggle against what many view as a deeply compromised justice and political system.
16:26After his removal from office in April 2022, Imran Khan was entangled in dozens of court cases, ranging from alleged corruption and contempt to terrorism charges.
16:36He was forced to appear in court after court, sometimes on a daily basis, despite serious security threats and an assassination attempt.
16:45Yet, even as a former elected prime minister, he was denied fair treatment in the judicial process.
16:51His lawyers repeatedly decried
16:54Lack of due process
16:56Biased legal proceedings
16:59Obstruction in filing FERS
17:01Politically motivated cases
17:04Denial of basic rights
17:06Denial of basic rights such as bail and legal access
17:08If a former head of government cannot receive justice in Pakistan
17:12Especially from the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, what then can a common citizen expect from the judicial system?
17:21This tragic irony has become a symbol of the wider crisis of rule of law in the country.
17:26As the 2024 general elections approached, the election commission of Pakistan delivered another major blow to democratic norms, PTI's election symbol, the iconic bat, was removed from the ballot paper.
17:40This effectively denied PTI recognition as a party, forcing its candidates to contest as independents, without party identity or branding.
17:49This move was widely criticized as a blatant effort to suppress PTI's political presence, described by many analysts and civil society members as electoral engineering.
17:59But despite all these efforts, the people of Pakistan spoke loudly.
18:04Pakistan Teriqi and Safi-backed independent candidates swept the elections, winning a clear majority in the National Assembly.
18:12Meanwhile, the opposing political parties won only 17 seats collectively, a humiliating defeat by all democratic standards.
18:21Horse trading and the sideling of the winning party.
18:25What followed was a deeply controversial and anti-democratic political maneuver.
18:30Instead of allowing the PTI-backed independents to form a government, a coalition of defeated parties was facilitated to take power through
18:38Horse trading, buying and pressuring independent candidates
18:42Alleged involvement of powerful state institutions
18:46Manipulation of parliamentary rules and delayed notifications
18:50Suppression of media coverage and dissent
18:54This event deeply shook the faith of the people in the electoral process, as the party with overwhelming public support was sidelined, and a minority alliance was propped up to govern.
19:04This sequence of events reveals a disturbing pattern
19:08Criminalization of political opposition
19:11Suppression of voter choice
19:13Judicial and administrative manipulation
19:16Undermining of electoral sovereignty
19:19The removal of PTI's symbol, incarceration of its leader, and denial of its electoral mandate are not isolated incidents, they represent a broader systemic failure where powerful unelected forces appear to determine political outcomes instead of the people's vote.
19:35The spirit of the nation remains unbroken despite the repression, arrests, and manipulation, millions of Pakistanis voted for PTI-backed candidates, defying fear and media blackouts.
19:47Their message was clear, they want change, they want accountability, and they stand by Imran Khan. History may remember this period as one where a leader and his supporters stood against overwhelming odds, and while institutions may have failed them, the people's spirit for democracy, justice, and truth remains alive.
20:06What comes next depends not only on courts and parliaments, but on whether the will of the people is ever allowed to truly prevail.
20:15Despite unprecedented political suppression, legal hurdles, and electoral manipulation, Imran Khan remains the most popular and trusted political leader in Pakistan.
20:25His continued detention, disqualification from politics, and the removal of PTI's iconic election symbol bat from the 2024 ballot papers were widely seen as deliberate attempts to erase his presence from the political arena.
20:39But instead of breaking his political influence, these actions have only strengthened the public's resolve to support him.
20:46A nation's unshakable support.
20:49In the face of severe adversity, more than 70% of the Pakistani population, according to independent observers and surveys, continues to stand firmly behind Imran Khan.
21:00This overwhelming public support is driven by
21:03belief in his integrity.
21:05Unlike traditional political leaders, Imran Khan is widely viewed as untainted by corruption and dedicated to public service and national sovereignty.
21:15Frustration with the system.
21:18His personal suffering in the legal and political system reflects the everyday struggles of ordinary Pakistanis who feel powerless against injustice and elite impunity.
21:27Hope for real change.
21:30Many see him as the only leader capable of challenging the status quo, breaking the hold of dynastic politics, and leading Pakistan toward transparency, fairness, and self-respect.
21:41The bat symbol was removed, but not the people's voice.
21:45The removal of the bat symbol from ballot papers was a clear attempt to confuse voters and divide PTI's vote bank.
21:52Yet, the people recognized and voted for PTI-backed independent candidates in massive numbers, defying the manipulation with remarkable clarity and determination.
22:02This act alone was a powerful referendum in Imran Khan's favor.
22:07Despite being denied a level playing field, he still won the hearts, minds, and votes of the majority.
22:13A movement larger than one man.
22:15What is unfolding is no longer just about one political leader.
22:19It has become a people's movement.
22:22Imran Khan, now behind bars, has come to symbolize.
22:27Resistance against tyranny.
22:30Struggle for justice.
22:32Voice for the boiceless.
22:34Hope for a better, corruption-free Pakistan.
22:37His imprisonment has not isolated him, it has elevated him to the status of a national symbol of resilience and defiance.
22:45The road is ahead despite the state's efforts to silence, marginalize, and dismantle Imran Khan and his party, the people of Pakistan have not given up.
22:54Their message is clear.
22:56We stand by our leader, not just for him, but for the future of our country.
23:01Until justice is done and Imran Khan is freed, millions remain determined to protest, campaign, vote, and raise their voices, peacefully but persistently.
23:11This unwavering support reflects a turning point in Pakistan's democratic awakening, where political awareness has deepened, and the people refuse to surrender their right to choose their leaders.
23:41Lionheart to the people in SAMHSA, Wow!
