PML-N leader Khawaja Asif claimed on Wednesday that former army chief Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-spymaster Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed wielded influence over legislative processes in the previous government of PTI.
Talking to the media after the PML-N’s parliamentary party meeting, Asif stressed the necessity of involving not only politicians but also other stakeholders for political stability. “All elements must collaborate for stability,” he insisted.
The PML-N leader disclosed that Qamar Bajwa and Faiz Hameed played instrumental roles in shaping legislation related to the FATF.
Asif admitted, “During that period, we used to consult them at their ‘messes’ for legislation.”
He said that the legislations were steered into law due to military interference and lamented that the nation continues to suffer the ongoing repercussions as a result.
