Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Wednesday said that the investigation agencies were conducting an inquiry regarding former Inter-Services Intelligence chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid and any progress in it will be shared.
The minister shared the information while addressing a press conference in Islamabad, following the imposition of Section 144 in Lahore ahead of Aurat March and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) election rally.
“Only the institution can do Faiz’s court martial,” Sanaullah said, adding that the General Headquarters (GHQ) holds the military trial, not the interior ministry. He said that whatever was being done was required and PTI Chairman Imran Khan will be arrested when need be.
The interior minister said that the government imposed Section 144 in light of reports by the security agencies.
He said that PTI had been asked to share the route of their rally but Khan’s group didn’t provide any details.
“Fitna, anarchy, and chaos are his [Khan’s] ways. There are no such people in the system who have stopped the Law Enforcement Agencies [LEAs],” he added.
While mocking the PTI chief, Sanaullah said, “Imrani fitna announced the burger march” and selected the same place for their election rally which the Aurat March rally organisers had already picked.
