Faiz Hameed’s Role in PTI’s Rise and Military Trial
“Faiz Hameed played a crucial role in bringing the PTI founder to power,” Khawaja Asif claimed while talking to journalists outside the Parliament House.
Khawaja Asif said the fate of the PTI founder’s military trial will be decided by the law, adding that several civilians were subjected to military trials during PTI’s government tenure.
He further noted that the ‘partnership’ between PTI founder Imran Khan and Faiz Hameed began before the 2018 elections and continued afterward, including during the events of May 9.
Khawaja Asif said that evidence would eventually surface, revealing how the Results Transmission System (RTS) was allegedly manipulated to facilitate PTI’s ascent to power and how opponents were silenced.
