Law would decide about military trial of PTI founder, Khawaja Asif

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif accused PTI Chairman Imran Khan and former ISI official Faiz Hameed of orchestrating political moves that brought PTI to power. Speaking to media outside the Parliament House, Asif claimed that Faiz Hameed played a key role in facilitating PTI during the 2018 elections and Senate Chairman’s election.

He alleged that civilians were unfairly tried in military courts during the PTI regime, while opponents faced fabricated cases and imprisonment. Asif highlighted corruption involving a prominent business tycoon and accused Imran Khan and his wife of benefiting from such activities.

Commenting on the May 9 events, he hinted at evidence emerging that could drastically alter the situation. Asif criticized PTI for attempting to use provincial politics to destabilize the federal government, recalling failed attacks on Islamabad led by KP officials.

The Defense Minister also dismissed PTI’s earlier calls for civil disobedience, emphasizing the resilience of the Pakistani public and overseas citizens in supporting the country.
