Despite repeated summons, former ISI chief Lt-Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid Tuesday again failed to appear before the Faizabad inquiry commission formed to probe the 2017 protest sit-in staged by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan.
According to sources, the commission had summoned the former spy chief at 10.30am on Tuesday but he did not appear before the panel.
The commission is now considering a proposal to record his statement through video link, the insiders added.
This was the third time that the former ISI chief remained absent from the hearing being conducted by the inquiry commission, which earlier summoned him in the second week of December last year and then on December 29, sources said. However, the first notice couldn’t be delivered.
In November last year, the caretaker federal government constituted the inquiry commission for the implementation of the top court’s 2019 Faizabad verdict.
