ISLAMABAD: The investigation agencies were conducting an inquiry regarding former Inter-Services Intelligence chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid and any progress about it will be shared, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said Wednesday.
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 conduct 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.
Moreover, the minister requested Jamat-e-Islami (JI) to organise Haya March on March 7 or 9, instead of March 8 when there are several events, including the Aurat March, which is held on account of International Women’s Day
“Aurat March is taking place on March 8, our mothers and sisters are marching in it,” he said, adding that the day holds immense importance for the women. He said that the women take to the streets to highlight two separate narratives.
