islamabad
After former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hamid was exonerated by the Faizabad sit-in inquiry commission, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) demanded the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa immediately “publicise” the probe report.
The former ruling party also demanded the top judge order action against the responsible of the Faizabad sit-in besides directing implementation of recommendations tabled by the inquiry commission.
Contents of the inquiry report were important in many aspects, the spokesperson of the Imran-founded party said, adding that it was fundamental right of the nation to be aware of the verified contents of the report.
The party claimed that incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif — who was then chief minister of Punjab in 2017 — and the former provincial government were declared “responsible” by the commission in light of testimonies recorded by ex-premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal, and others.
“[PM] Shehbaz should resign from his post and be answerable to the nation regarding his criminal mistakes,” the spokesperson demanded. Additionally, it demanded registration of criminal cases against the incumbent premier and his cabinet following the commission’s recommendations.
The party also stressed that it was important to unveil facts regarding the “role of institutions in national politics” before the nation.
