Says May 9 events were a 'pre-planned game'
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Senator Faisal Vawda has described the indictment of former ISI director general, retired Lt Gen Faiz Hameed, for involvement in political activities and misuse of power a “historic” development.
Speaking to Dunya News, the former federal minister said: “This is a historic day in Pakistan”. He added that the development would create more problems for PTI founder Imran Khan, who has been detained in jail for over a year in multiple cases.
He alleged that Khan used Faiz Hameed as a pawn, adding that the May 9 events were a “pre-planned game”.
"Hameed has been charged in this case, and the investigation into other crimes also is under way," Vawda said, adding that army had a strong accountability system.
