Khan calls Faiz Hameed ‘an asset’ that was wasted
Founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan, while talking to journalists in Adiala Jail, broke his silence on the recent arrest of former ISI chief Faiz Hameed, saying, “I have no connections with Faiz Hameed’s arrest.”
On Monday, the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), announced that it had taken Hameed into custody over allegations of land grabbing and stealing valuables from the owner of Top City Housing Society.
It also stated that court-martial proceedings had been started against the former spymaster, who was once considered very close with former prime minister Khan.
Khan also criticised this military’s treatment of Gen Faiz, calling him an “asset that was wasted.”
He suggested that accountability is good but should be “across-the-board accountability.”
Khan recalled that ex-army chief Gen Bajwa removed Hameed at the behest of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, and after that, a heated exchange occurred between Khan and Bajwa.
