During an episode of “On the Front,” Khawaja Asif drilled into the May 9 occurrence and guaranteed that it included top political pioneers and military staff. The legislator named previous Armed Forces boss General Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-ISI boss Lt. Among those accountable for this day’s events are PTI Chairman Imran Khan and General Faiz Hameed.
Arrests and Seizures During PTI Office Raid
During the raid on the PTI office, Khawaja Asif mentioned that senior PTI leader Rauf Hasan was arrested. In addition to the arrest, computers, and other electronic devices were seized from the office. These devices reportedly provided crucial information about the incident.
Faiz Hameed’s Political Ties
Khawaja Asif also highlighted the connections between Lt. General Faiz Hameed and PTI. He revealed that Faiz Hameed had direct links with PTI and had even signed agreements during the Faizabad sit-in. His involvement in political affairs was not new, and he maintained a close relationship with General Bajwa and Imran Khan. According to Asif, Faiz Hameed, Bajwa, and Khan had a mutually beneficial relationship, with Bajwa acting as Khan’s political “godfather” and Faiz as his “uncle.”
The Targeted Actions of May 9
The Defense Minister claimed that the events of May 9 were not spontaneous but rather orchestrated. He suggested that specific targets were assigned to individuals, implying that the incident was premeditated. Khawaja Asif believes that other individuals, including Faiz Hameed. Were involved, and Imran Khan was entirely on board with the plan. The laptops and mobile devices seized from the PTI office reportedly contained vital information, supporting the claim that the event was carefully planned.
The Role of Bajwa and Faiz Hameed
Khawaja Asif strongly criticized Bajwa and Faiz Hameed for their roles in the incident. He was accusing them of abusing their power. He remarked that Bajwa enjoyed power and gave Faiz Hameed a free hand in political matters. According to Asif, this abuse of power created a “triangle” involving Bajwa, Faiz Hameed, and Imran Khan, leading to the destructive events of May 9.
The Fallout of the May 9 Incident
The Minister compared the desire for power to addiction, stating that just as a person with an addiction experiences withdrawal symptoms, Bajwa, Faiz Hameed, and Imran Khan felt a profound loss when their power slipped away. Their “triangle” led to chaos, and their actions threatened the country’s stability.
