ISLAMABAD: Independent Senator Faisal Vawda has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf and former Inter Services Intelligence are two sides of same coin.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced the arrest of the former ISI chief, saying that he was taken into custody by the army over allegations of land grabbing and snatching valuables from the owner of a private housing society.

“Complying with the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, a detailed court of inquiry was undertaken by the Pakistan Army to ascertain the correctness of complaints in the Top City Case made against Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid,” the army’s media wing said.

The ISPR said appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated against the former spymaster under provisions of the Pakistan Army Act.

Giving his reaction to the development, Senator Vawda said: “This is just the beginning; many big figures are about to fall.” 

Terming the development as “excellent decision” taken for the sake of the country, Vawda said whoever caused any harm to the country will be held accountable. “The process of accountability will be seen in the country,” he noted.

he also claimed that the PTI and the former spy chief are two sides of the same coin, claiming that the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan and his party will face the music in the coming days. 

The former PTI leader underscored the need for everyone to let institutions to do their official work.
