Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan has called for an open court trial of former ISI chief Faiz Hameed, saying that the “matter should not be treated as an internal military issue.”
In an informal conversation with journalists, Ex PM clarified that his association with Faiz Hameed ended with the latter’s retirement. Pakistan News quote that Khan dismissing claims that he continues contact with the Ex DG ISI. How Faiz, being retired, could probable benefit him, he wondered.
“General Faiz became insignificant after retirement. How could he benefit me in any way?” he questioned, dismissing the notion that he maintains contact with the former DG ISI.
Imran Khan reiterated his demand for a judicial commission to investigate the May 9 incident.
Meanwhile, Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar criticised the incarcerated PTI founder, Imran Khan’s demand for an open trial of former DG ISI Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hameed, calling it interference in military affairs.
Tarar remarked that the PTI founder’s shifting stance on Faiz Hameed, alternately calling him “an asset, a hero, and then a zero”, reveals his mental distress.
