Condolence from Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore: It is with great sadness that I mourn the loss of Agha Murtaza Pooya, renowned political thinker, religious scholar and the founding editor of The Muslim. His unwavering commitment to freedom of expression, democracy and interfaith harmony has left an indelible mark on our society. His intellectual depth guided us during critical moments in Pakistan's history. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May his legacy continue to inspire.

Written by Shah Mahmood Qureshi on 14 May 2025 from Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore. Vice Chairman PTI and former Foreign Minister of Pakistan. Please note this is an abbreviated version for the sake of space. FULL article in image attached to this tweet. —- Pakistan’s armed forces have achieved ceasefire, through its measured, yet effective response against Indian aggression. Timely intervention of friends who lobbied for restraint, de-escalation and peace proved fruitful. War hysteria generated by the Indian media resulted in a standoff between two nuclear neighbours which could have easily spun out of control. A miscalculation could have triggered an accidental nuclear exchange, devastating for both countries. Every conflict between India and Pakistan has set a new normal. We have climbed the escalatory ladder, from firing across the line of control, to a strike inside Pakistan in 2019 to targeting mainland Pakistan through drones, missile strikes and cyber-attacks. What was considered unthinkable yesterday has become kosher today. The concept of a limited war, under Modi’s rhetoric, is extremely dangerous. Prime Minister Modi’s statement that operation Sindoor continues and is not over yet, his warning that any future act of terrorism in Indian administered Kashmir will lead to a response that will not remain confined to clashes across the LoC but can go beyond that. This open threat itself is in fact a wake up call for all well-meaning friends, advocating peace and dialogue. Chatter of incomplete mission and the difficulty being faced by the BJP Govt, to sell the idea of a ceasefire through US intervention makes the ceasefire very fragile. Pakistan is remaining vigilant and on guard. Pakistan appreciates the role played by President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, but must be prepared for push back from India on third party mediation. PM Modi is under tremendous pressure from his political opposition to explain how ceasefire came about and why India has moved away from its stated policy of no third party mediation. India is extremely uncomfortable with Kashmir being projected as a flash point and the Kashmir dispute being internationalized once again. Understanding Indian reaction, the Trump administration has already started hinting that India and Pakistan ought to build on the breakthrough achieved and focus on direct communications. Similarly, Pakistan has rightly called the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty an act of war and has demanded India to respect and implement the bilateral agreement. It will be extremely difficult for the Modi government to do that in the current environment. Acknowledging the complex situation, the World Bank has highlighted its role of a facilitator, not a guarantor. Implying, India and Pakistan will have to bilaterally find a way forward. Negotiations on the issue of terrorism are going to be highly contentious. Both sides have a long list of complaints. A terrorist attack on a celebratory rally in Quetta today, 14th May, is a clear message that it is not over yet and we cannot afford to be complacent. Negotiation on the three-point agenda of Kashmir, IWT and terrorism are going to be very challenging. Pakistan will need to develop an internal consensus on these three very sensitive issues. The armed forces have delivered and attained a military ceasefire. The question being debated is, can the political leadership achieve a political ceasefire? In my view, in order to celebrate the 10th of May, we need to move beyond the 9th of May.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi Vice Chairman PTI Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Dear Pakistanis, As I write this letter from the confines of Kot Lakhpat Jail, where I remain incarcerated in solitary confinement, my spirit remains unshaken and unwavering in loyalty to Pakistan. The events of the past few days have once again exposed the belligerence and aggression of India. India, without evidence or justification, continues its unlawful and provocative actions under the guise of unsubstantiated claims. Pakistan has demonstrated maturity, restraint and moral clarity in the face of this hostility. The press conference jointly addressed by the representatives of the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Navy on Friday 9th May was a moment of national pride. The calm, dignified and factual manner in which our armed forces communicated the reality to the nation and the world earned respect at a global level. The clarity of purpose, coupled with professionalism and grace underscored Pakistan’s commitment to peace, sovereignty and self respect. In our response to Indian escalatory actions, targeting military assets and ensuring no civilian harm, the world must see that Pakistani does not seek war, but will never shy awayfrom defending its people, its soil and its honour. In these decisive moments, all of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, its supporters and the citizens of Pakistan stood firmly like an iron wall, united behind our defenders. Pakistan first always. I served as Foreign Minister when Pakistan faced similar trials- when Pulwama was exploited to manufacture a false flag narrative. I stood before the global community and defended Pakistans truth, dignity and rights. Today, I do the same, from behind bars, with the same resolve. I salute the brave men and women who continue to put their lives on the line for us all. I salute the people of Pakistan who despite economic hardships, political turmoil and global challenges, remain resolute, courageous and proud. In times of adversity, true nations are tested - and true nations rise. Pakistan has once again shown the world that we are not weak, not divided and not afraid. Pakistan and India have agreed to ceasefire and meet to discuss the way forward. I urge an internal political ceasefire to initiate a national dialogue on the existential challenges confronting Pakistan and putting our in house in order. Long Live our People Long Live our Motherland. Pakistan Zindabad.

Message to Indian Leadership from Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore 1. Indian unilateral actions on the 5th of August 2019 violated the Simla Agreement in letter and spirit 2. ⁠Indian decision to hold the Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance is illegal and violation of International Law 3. ⁠By ignoring UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu & Kashmir, India is undermining regional peace and security 4. ⁠Indian reluctance to accept Pakistan's offer for an international, transparent, credible and neutral investigation is in fact an admission of a false flag operation 5. ⁠War between India and Pakistan, two Nuclear States will be mutual suicide. Shah Mahmood Qureshi Vice Chairman PTI & Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan

🚨 وائس چیئرمین پاکستان تحریکِ انصاف مخدوم شاہ محمود قریشی کا کوٹ لکھپت جیل سے پیغام ۔ @PTIofficial

کھڑا تھا، کھڑا ہوں اور کھڑا رہونگا تیرا یار میرا یار قیدی نمبر 804

ایک اور ہفتہ ایک اور ملاقات، ۱۱ نومبر 2024، عوام کے نام پیغام: میں جہاں کھڑا تھا، کھڑا ہوں جہاں پڑا تھا، پڑا ہوں ۔ شاہ محمود قریشی

To my @PTIofficial friends and family: قسمت میں جدائی تھی جیل آنے کا بہانا تھا.

مخدوم شاہ محمود قریشی کا کوٹ لکھپت جیل سے بلاول بھٹو زرداری کے نام پیغام۔ کہیں 1973 کے متفقہ آئین کو آگ نہ لگ جائے، بھٹو کے چراغ سے۔ میں @BBhuttoZardari سے گزارش کروں گا کہ 26ویں آئینی ترمیم کوبغیر اتفاقِ رائے سے پارلیمان میں لا کر، پارلیمان کی بالادستی کو بلڈوز نہ کریں۔ ایک وفاقی جماعت کے طور پر انہیں یہ سمجھنا چاہیے کہ وفاق کی ایک اکائی، خیبر پختونخوا، سینیٹ میں مکمل طور پر نمائندگی نہیں رکھتی اور ایوان مکمل نہیں ہے۔ میں ان کی نیت پر شک نہیں کرتا اور ان کی میثاقِ جمہوریت کے ساتھ جذباتی وابستگی سے آگاہ ہوں، لیکن قوم ان کے اقدام کے وقت پر شکوک و شبہات کا شکار ہے۔ براہ کرم بغیر کسی جذباتیت کے، وکلا برادری اور سول سوسائٹی کے بڑے طبقے کی بات سنیں۔ وہ عدلیہ کی آزادی کے بارے میں حقیقی طور پر فکر مند ہیں اور اس آئینی پیکج کو ہماری عدلیہ پر حملہ سمجھتے ہیں، جس کا مقصد سپریم کورٹ کے اختیارات کو محدود کرنا ہے۔ پارلیمان میں مناسب بحث اور تمام متعلقہ فریقوں کے ساتھ وسیع مشاورت کے بغیر آپ جو آئینی عدالت بنانے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں، اسے معاشرے کا ایک بڑا طبقہ پی سی او عدالت کے طور پر تسلیم کرے گا، اور ممتاز اور قابلِ احترام شخصیات جو حلف اٹھائیں گی، انہیں پی سی او جج سمجھا جائے گا۔ ذوالفقار علی بھٹو نے جو صبر اور لچک کا مظاہرہ کیا تھا اس سے قوم کو ایک متفقہ آئین ملا تھا۔ اس متفقہ آئین میں کسی قسم کی ترمیم بغیر اتفاقِ رائے کے عدلیہ کی آزادی کو کمزور کرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ وفاق کو بھی نقصان پہنچائے گی۔ اس تقسیم شدہ ماحول میں، یہ پاکستان کے لیے نقصان دہ ہوگا۔ مجھے یقین ہے کہ آپ ایسا نہیں چاہتے۔ 18ویں آئینی ترمیم کو قبولیت حاصل کرنے تک وقت لگا۔ براہ کرم قانون کی حکمرانی کو مسخ نہ کریں۔ یہ صرف ایک تجویز ہے کوٹ لکھپت جیل میں بیٹھے ایک شخص کی جانب سے، جسے آپ کی والدہ کے ساتھ مل کر پاکستان میں جمہوریت کی بحالی کے لیے کام کرنے کا موقع ملا تھا۔ @SMQureshiPTI 3 اکتوبر، 2024 @PTIofficial

مخدوم @SMQureshiPTI کا پیغام ہے متحد رہیں، جیسے 8 فروری کو عمران خان کو مینڈیٹ دیا ویسے متحد ہوکر اب عمران خان کو رہا کروانا ہے. #اٹھو_کہ_ہےاب_وقت_اذاں @PTIofficial

From Kot Lakhpat Jail: “Thank you @arifanoor72, @hidhussain, @abbasnasir59, @LodhiMaleeha, @LedeingLady #TariqKhosa for keeping the hope alive - for raising a voice for justice and fundamental rights. - SMQ

نائب کپتان @SMQureshiPTI کا اڈیالہ جیل سے دو ٹوک پیغام! جو لوگ برے وقت میں عمران کے نظریے سے پیچھے ہٹ گئے اور @PTIofficial نظریہ سے بے وفائی کی اگر وہ جماعت میں واپسی کی کوشش کریں گے تو میں ان کے سامنے دیوار بن کر کھڑا ہو جاؤں گا۔ #SwabiJalsaOn5thAugust

“My heartfelt condolences to the Government and People of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the devastating loss of President Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and all those who perished. Pakistan mourns with our brotherly neighbour in this time of sorrow. I cherished my relationship with FM Abdollahian and held him in the highest regard. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.” - Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Adiala Jail.

مخدوم شاہ محمود قریشی کا اڈیالہ جیل سے پیغام آج جیل میں قیام کے 250 دن مکمل ہو رہے ہیں۔ اپنے خاندان، اپنی پارٹی، اپنے حلقے سے دور۔ قید تنہائی میں رہنے پر مجبور۔ لیکن 250 دنوں میں بھی میرا سب کے لیے پیغام بالکل واضح ہے: نئے پاکستان کے لیے جدوجہد جاری رہنی چاہیے۔ ہمیں اپنے مشترکہ مقصد کے لیے متحد رہنا ھے۔ ہم سب کے لیے آزاد اور انصاف پسند پاکستان چاہتے ہیں۔ ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ پاکستان کے عوام کی آواز سنی جائے اور اس کا احترام کیا جائے۔ ہم اپنے لیڈر @imrankhanpti اور اپنے تمام کارکنوں اور حامیوں کی رہائی چاہتے ہیں۔ کبھی نہ بھولیں: ہم نے ہر ممکنہ رکاوٹ کے باوجود 8 فروری کو جیت حاصل کی۔ ہم جیت گئے کیونکہ ہم متحد رہے اور ایک مقصد پر توجہ مرکوز کی۔ ہمارے اہداف کے حصول کے لئے ثابت قدمی سے بڑھتے رہیں ۔ کسی کو انتشار کے بیج بونے کی اجازت ھرگز نہ دیں۔ مایوس نا ہونا. دن لمبے ہو سکتے ہیں۔ قربانی بڑی ہو سکتی ہے۔ لیکن پھل انشاء اللہ میٹھا ہو گا۔ پاکستان زندہ باد اڈیالہ جیل، 29 اپریل 2024

Message From Shah Mahmood Qureshi: “Today marks 250 days of being in prison. Locked away from my family, my party, my constituents. Denied my home. Made to remain in solitary confinement. But even 250 days in, my message to all is very clear: The struggle for Naya Pakistan must go on. We must stay unified for our common goal. We want a free and just Pakistan for all. We want our people’s voices to be heard and respected. We want the release of our leader @imrankhanpti and all our workers and supporters. Never forget: We won on the 8th of February despite every possible obstacle we were made to bear. We won because we remained united and focused on a goal. Do not waver from the steadfastness of our goals. Do not allow anyone to sow the seeds of unity and discord. Do not despair. The days may be long. The sacrifice may be great. But the fruits will, InshAllah, be sweet. Pakistan, Zindabad” - Adiala Jail, 29 April 2024

اپنے عظیم قائد عمران خان کے نام قوم کو آپکی جوانمردی پر فخر ھے۔ صرف ایک ذاتِ باری تعالیٰ عزت اور کامیابی کی مالک ھے۔ پاکستانی قوم حقیقی آزادی کی تحریک میں آپ کے ساتھ ھے۔ خون کے آخری قطرے تک صرف عمران خان ۔ پاکستان زندہ باد

Message from Adiala Jail: Wishing all those celebrating, in Pakistan and across the world, a joyous Eid. A special wish of peace and strength for our brave, incarcerated women and men workers of @PTIofficial, and our dear Palestinian brothers and sisters. May you achieve peace, relief and justice. My prayers are with you. My beloved people of Pakistan, the games being played at the expense of us all, are in plain sight - the biggest game played yet, has been the stolen election. The people’s mandate has been trampled on. A non democratically elected government has no political strength to take Pakistan out of the economic and political abyss in which we find ourselves. A stolen mandate can never succeed. Additionally, the letter of 6 judges lays bare the situation in which our judiciary finds itself - it is of great concern for all Pakistanis, including myself. There should be a clear and transparent investigation into this without delay. As citizens of this great country, we must continue to stand united for the survival and supremacy of the Constitution and the Law in Pakistan. We must continue to peacefully demand the release of @ImranKhanPTI and all imprisoned women and men. I want to end by saying, I take deep pride in our people for having come out in such great numbers to vote for Imran Khan and PTI on 8th February. I am also grateful to the brave people of Multan and the voters of NA 151 and NA 150, for your vote and belief - for making sure we had a clear margin of victory on both seats, despite all the hardships. Pakistan, Zindabad.
