‘It’s a miracle’, Dar reacts to Faiz Hameed’s arrest

Author: Agencies

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Ishaq Dar, on Friday termed the recent arrest of former Pakistan spy chief Faiz Hameed as a “miracle” and a “lesson” to those involved in political manipulation. Talking to media, Ishaq Dar Dar blamed the 2014 sit-ins for starting a “dirty political game” that has ravaged the country. The finance minister stressed that the country’s economy has suffered significantly, dropping from the 24th to the 47th position globally. “I am amazed by this miracle of Allah,” said Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar. “Such things have happened for the first time.” “I was also among the victims of General (r) Faiz Hameed,” he said, claiming that Faiz Hameed apologized to him in mid-October.” The deputy prime minister also announced a ban on foreign tours for parliamentary delegations, citing a recent incident where five individuals ‘went missing’ during a trip. Dar stressed that such actions bring shame to the country. “No relatives or friends of parliamentarians will receive visas through government facilitation,” he announced.
