Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former prime minister, has claimed that former ISI chief Faiz Hameed is being pressured to testify against him as a state witness.
During an informal discussion with journalists at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, Imran Khan alleged that Faiz Hameed’s arrest was orchestrated to shift his case to a military court. He contended, “All the charges against me are baseless and won’t hold up. This is a deliberate effort to move the case to a military tribunal.”
Imran Khan further accused that Faiz Hameed’s involvement is a ploy to implicate him, asserting, “They’ll force Faiz Hameed to become a state witness against me.”
Khan stated that all other cases against him have been dismissed, and now there is a push to take him to a military court.
He suggested that the authorities are attempting to force Faiz to make statements about a conspiracy, and if Faiz issued the arrest orders or was involved in CCTV footage theft, he should be held accountable.
He added that those involved in conspiracies do not demand a judicial commission.
