Dar reveals Gen (rtd) Faiz apologized to him

On Friday, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar revealed that Lt Gen Faiz Hameed, the former spymaster who is currently undergoing court martial proceedings, had expressed his regret to him for subjecting him to victimization.

“I am among the victims of Faiz Hameed,” Mr Dar declared, stating that the arrest of the former head of ISI feels like a miracle from Allah. He further quoted that the former general had apologized for his “excesses”. Regarding the excesses of the former spymaster, Mr Dar remained silent, not giving any detail.

Regarding Gen. Faiz’s detention, Mr Dar said this was a first in the nation’s history. He said it was like the project, which had begun in 2011, had now come to an end.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, meanwhile, informed the media that Gen. Faiz’s arrest was an army internal matter in which he and others should not become involved. He claimed that the PTI had no relation with the ISI chief after his retirement.
