Pervaiz Elahi, the Chief Minister of Punjab, makes shocking revelations about former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant General (R) Faiz Hameed after criticizing the PTI for being “ungrateful” for a former top general’s “favors.”
Gen. (r) Faiz Hameed came under fire from Elahi in an interview with ARY News, who claimed that the general had “committed injustice with us and then to get us arrested.”
Elahi revealed that Gen Faiz, who recently stepped down after the change in command, was a strong opponent of him, alleging that Hameed called up the anti-graft body chief and told him to ‘arrest me and Moonis around the time of Bajwa’s extension’.
Punjab Chief Minister accused the former army officer of crossing limits, revealing that he then approached former COAS about the latter’s behavior, who reprimanded him.
Elahi added that Faiz informed Gen. Bajwa that he was carrying out orders from ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Referring to Imran Khan’s criticism of former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, Elahi said the PTI chief should not have spoken against him because he was a benefactor of the PTI. He said it was unfair on part of Khan to criticize Gen Bajwa at a press conference where he was sitting by Khan. He said he would not tolerate anyone saying anything against Gen Bajwa going forward.
Elahi said he was trying to clear the mess left behind by his predecessor Sardar Usman Buzdar.
