iSLAMABAD: It has been learned that the panel assigned to look into the Faizabad Dharna issue has finished its investigation.
The News has learned from a source connected to the three-member commission that the investigation is over and the report containing the conclusions is prepared for submission.
“It will be submitted to the government and other authorities anytime,” stated a source.
It is said that all three members have signed the report. The Pakistani attorney general, the cabinet secretary, and the registrar of the Supreme Court are receiving copies of the report.
Numerous people were interrogated by the panel, including some well-known figures like the former chief of intelligence for the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and DG (C) Faiz Hameed, the then-prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the then-prime minister interior and defence ministers Ahsan Iqbal and Khawaja Aasif respectively and concerned senior police and civil administration officials of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The commission will primarily decide what to do with the previous head of ISI’s function. Whether Hameed was responsible for the sit-in in Faizabad will be revealed in the commission’s report.
On the Supreme Court’s advice, the government established the committee to find out who organized, funded, and encouraged a sit-in in the Faizabad neighborhood of Islamabad six years prior.
