"What I perceive, is above all justice, where everyone has the same law"
About this Quote
The subtext is Pakistan’s long-standing two-tier reality, where elites, military power, and politically connected families often appear to live under a different legal climate than ordinary citizens. By insisting on “the same law,” Khan signals a populist grievance without naming names: he gestures at corruption and impunity while keeping the statement broad enough to be unassailable. It also quietly reframes his opponents as enemies of fairness rather than rivals with different policies. If justice equals one law for all, then anyone resisting his reforms isn’t just disagreeing - they’re defending a rigged system.
The context matters because “rule of law” rhetoric in Pakistan has historically been both aspiration and weapon: deployed by reformists, courts, and strongmen alike. Khan’s sentence works because it’s morally crisp and emotionally legible, even as it leaves open the hardest question: who decides what “the law” is, and whether equality applies to the powerful first.
