Defense Minister Khawaja Asif on Wednesday reiterated both the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and Lt. General (retired) Faiz Hameed were partners in key political manoeuvres. “Faiz Hameed played a crucial role in bringing the PTI founder to power,” Khawaja Asif claimed while talking to journalists outside the Parliament House. Khawaja Asif said the fate of PTI founder’s military trial will be decided by the law, adding that several civilians were subjected to military trials during PTI’s government tenure. He further noted that the ‘partnership’ between PTI founder Imran Khan and Faiz Hameed began before the 2018 elections and continued afterward, including during the events of May 9. Khawaja Asif said that evidence would eventually surface, revealing how the Results Transmission System (RTS) was allegedly manipulated to facilitate PTI’s ascent to power and how opponents were silenced.
