Seen as a close aide of jailed former PM Imran Khan, Faiz Hameed has been in custody since 2024. He is also the first former ISI chief in Pakistan to be court-martialled.
Court-martial proceedings were initiated against Hameed last year. Brigadiers Naeem Fakhar and Ghaffar served under Hameed during his controversial tenure. All three are in military custody.
The arrest is a signal to the military fraternity—especially retired and serving officers who supported Imran Khan and stood against the current chief, General Asim Munir—to mend their ways.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
