Bajwa, Faiz facilitated Imran Khan until Nov 28: Rana Sanaullah

  • Minister says Gen Bajwa supported Imran Khan until retirement.
  • PTI chief launched long march against govt on someone’s advice.
  • It was all about appointment of new COAS, says Rana Sanaullah. 

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has accused former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-spymaster Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed of facilitating Pakistan Tehree-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan untill November 28, 2022. 

The minister also denied that General Bajwa was going to retire in November.

The minister endorsed a statement made by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice-President Maryam Nawaz who claimed, while addressing a rally on February 2, that her party’s [actual] rule commenced after November 28 as before this date, the PTI chief’s patrons were present.

“It is evident that General (retd) Bajwa and General (retd) Faiz Hameed had been facilitating Imran Khan until November 28, 2022, despite the fact that Shehbaz Sharif was prime minister and the cabinet was functional,” he said in Geo News programme ‘Naya Pakistan’ on Friday.

The minister said, “Khan has gone crazy as he has been denied any facilitation which was previously being provided to bring him on to the streets.” Backed by this “facilitation” he wanted to launch a long march and seize Islamabad, he said.

The PML-N leader asserted that there were people who loved him as their favourite, so he kept doing something or other until November 26. He asked Khan to explain how his government was formed and who was behind it. 

Rana Sanaullah claimed that Imran Khan’s long march was all about the appointment of the new army chief and he attempted to destroy the institution to achieve his goals. 

The federal minister raised questions about the motives behind the Imran Khan-led November 26 long march, which he believed was not just a protest.

The minister said Imran Khan’s adventures like the one on May 25 failed mainly due to the PML-N government in the Centre.

It should be mentioned here that former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa retired from the post on November 28, 2022. A few days later, former ISI chief Faiz Hameed also retired from the military voluntarily.

The PPP requests the image of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on currency notes.

The resolution was passed during a seminar named ‘Bhutto Reference and History’, which focused on Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

The resolution praised the Supreme Court’s admission that the PPP founder’s trial, which resulted in his execution, was unfair and urged that the federal government confer on him the title of “Quaid-e-Awam” (Leader of the People) and the highest civilian honor, Nishan-e-Pakistan.

Aside from demanding that Bhutto’s image be used on currency notes, the resolution also asked for the construction of a fitting monument in his honor and the designation of his mausoleum as a national shrine.

Furthermore, it demands for the reversal of Bhutto’s unjust death sentence and the creation of a “Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Award” for democracy activists who have given their lives for the cause.

In March, the National Assembly passed a resolution characterizing Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s trial as judicial murder.

The Supreme Court released its reserved opinion on the presidential reference against the ‘controversial’ death sentence imposed on PPP founder, stating that the former prime minister was denied a “fair trial”.

A nine-judge court led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa revealed its decision on the long-pending presidential reference to determine if it can reconsider its verdict, which the PPP and jurists perceive as a historic error.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death under former military dictator General (retired) Ziaul Haq’s administration.

The first elected prime minister of the country was charged with the murder of a political competitor, Nawab Mohammed Ahmed Qasuri, and a trial was held.

Bhutto was executed on April 4, 1979, despite requests and appeals for leniency and pity from various heads of state.
