ISLAMABAD – Senator Faisal Vawda has stated that retired Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed, former DG ISI, is set to testify against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
He said that in the cases related to May 9, the PTI founder appears to be legally trapped. Faiz Hameed, he added, will not only testify but also provide evidence against Imran Khan.
Vawda further said that the legal scrutiny will not stop here and clarified that there will be no reduction in Faiz Hameed’s 14-year sentence. He noted that providing details of military installations related to May 9 was part of Faiz Hameed’s official duties.
The senator claimed that while it was General Bajwa’s negligence and incompetence, he attempted to remove Faiz Hameed once the issues were discovered. However, Bajwa was deemed innocent, and no action would be taken against him. He emphasized that the primary focus now is on PTI and its founder.
Retired Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed has been sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) tried Hameed under the Pakistan Army Act, a process that lasted 15 months.
The ISPR stated that the accused faced four charges including involvement in political activities, violations of the Official Secrets Act detrimental to state security and interests, misuse of authority and official resources and causing unlawful harm to the certain individuals.
