ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information, Broadcasting, Culture and National Heritage Attaullah Tarar on Wednesday said PTI founder had meddled in the affairs of Pakistan Army by demanding an open trial of former ex-spymaster.
Responding to PTI Founder Imran Khan’s call for open trial of Lt-Gen (r) Faiz Hameed, Atta Tarar regretted that the PTI founder had made multiple attempts to make the matter related to Faiz Hameed controversial.
Instead of giving statements in defense of Lt-Gen (r) Faiz Hameed, the PTI founder should better made his position clear in the 190 million pounds case, Tarar said, adding his controversial statements showed that he was suffering from “serious anxiety and uncertainty”.
The minister said the PTI founder was reluctant to accept that the issue of Faiz Hameed was internal matter of the Army, which proved that the ex-spy chief was his “asset”.
He said it seemed that the PTI chief was in mental disarray as sometime he called Faiz Hameed an “asset or a hero”, while on some occasion took completely an otherwise stance.
In the Faiz Hameed case, he said it appeared that the PTI founder had no qualms about using people for his own personal interests.
The minister said the PTI founder was expert in ditching his own well-wishers.
