Two serving brigadiers also sentenced alongside former ISI chief, claims Javed Latif

ISLAMABAD:  Senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Mian Javed Latif has claimed that two serving brigadiers were also sentenced along with former Inter-Services Intelligence chief Faiz Hameed.

Taking his X handle, Javed Latif tweeted that he had consistently maintained that facilitators existed within institutions. He added that other voices were now echoing the same stance and that the defence minister had also acknowledged the presence of individuals within state institutions who wanted former prime minister Imran Khan to return to power.

“I have been saying from the beginning that there is facilitation. Now others are saying it as well, and today even the defence minister stated that some people within the institutions want to bring Imran Khan back into power,” he said.

Continuing his remarks, Javed Latif claimed that, according to his information, two serving brigadiers had also been punished along with Faiz Hameed.

Commenting on former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s political conduct, the PML-N leader said that Nawaz Sharif never speaks against his enemies or those who personally target him when they are facing hardship or standing trial. He recalled that when Nawaz Sharif had named five individuals in the past, they were in positions of power at the time. However, he added that several party members jumped off the stage, while even allied parties appeared unsettled.

Javed Latif further stated that Faiz Hameed had familial connections with several influential figures, including former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and former chief justices Saqib Nisar and Umar Ata Bandial. He added that several PML-N leaders had also met these individuals in the past.

He stressed that interactions should not be judged selectively, saying it should not be portrayed as treason if someone meets individuals on one side, while acceptable if they meet those on the other. “If something benefits someone, it is considered fine, but if it causes harm, then action is taken,” he said.
