The Faizabad Dharna Case Investigation Commission has announced its decision to summon Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hameed, who was the Director General of the ISI during the Faizabad sit-in.
The commission plans to issue a summons notice to Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed in the upcoming week, seeking his appearance regarding the investigation into the sit-in.
During the commission’s proceedings, IB officer Sajid Kayani, previously serving as SSP Operations Islamabad in 2017, provided a comprehensive three-hour statement. Kayani asserted that there was no external interference in the operation against Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
Furthermore, the Commission of Inquiry has also summoned IG Islamabad Khalid Khattak, who was appointed during the Faizabad sit-in. Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed’s tenure as the Director General of the ISI during the protest period has raised interest in his involvement, prompting the commission's decision to seek his testimony.
Earlier last month, a 3-member bench comprising Justice Aminuddin Khan and Justice Athar Minullah, headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, hearing 9 review petitions against the decision of 6 February 2019 in the Faizabad sit-in case.
