PTI Founder & Faiz Hameed: Key May 9 Links Revealed

In a recent statement, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif drew a direct connection between the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hameed. He mentioned that both individuals had common objectives, especially about the controversial incidents of May 9.

May 9 and After 

Khawaja Asif said that despite these actions on May 9, communication channels with those concerned remained open. He said this was not just luck but a well-coordinated effort. Fazil Hameed carefully selected the targets used on May 9, while PTI’s FoundeMay 9, his supporters, provided the actual workforce and ground mobilizations.

The aftermath of the 

That was May 99’s day in Pakistan. Countrywide riots and attacks on military installations characterized the events of May 9, following the PTI leader’s apprehension, which led to severe crackdowns against those involved. By saying that the former DG ISI participated in choosing targets for bombings carried out during the events of May 9, Khawaja Asif introduces another 9sion into this story, which implies much thought about such acts as opposed by other people over spontaneous mass anger.

This unrest not only resulted from the arrest of the PTI Chairperson but was part of the bigger scheme, as suggested by Asif. In his claims, there seems to be anxiety regarding military-civil coordination or conflict during that time, as exemplified by one highly positioned ex-military officer like Faiz H, according to Asif.

Khawaja Asif also highlighted that the Prime Minister, who claimed to be the founder of PTI, did not subject the army to a military trial during his tenure.

The mention of military trials is particularly relevant to Pakistan’s political and judicial history. Authorities usually reserve military trials for civil crimes for specific cases, making this the first occasion where a former Prime Minister, especially one who previously led the government, would face such a situation.

An Open Trial with Military May 9 

Khawaja Asif also mentioned that there has never been an open court case against any army general in Pakistan’s past. Nevertheless, if this were to happen, like if the PTI chairman underwent MI, then it would be publicly announced. It implies some level of transparency that is not usually found in these proceedings.

In Pakistan’s legal and political environment, the possibility of having a transparent military trial could set an important precedent. This would be an unprecedented development in the country and would serve as a test for the military system’s capabilities to handle cases involving high-profile individuals and the armed forces.

Conclusion

Khawaja Asif’s statements have added another dimension to the political discourse in Pakistan. Thus, he inferred that the events of May 9 were part and parcel of a well-organized, concerted action as he linked PTI founder objectives and Faiz Hameed. The significance of these happenings during this intricate moment for Pakistan will possibly have enduring effects on its civil-military relations and broader political environment.
