LONDON: Former prime minister Imran Khan and former Inter-Services Intelligence director general (DG ISI), Lt General (retired) Faiz Hamid, are accused by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar of rehabilitating hardened criminals into Pakistani settled areas during the previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government, allowing the terrorists to gain a foothold in areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and elsewhere.
Dar questioned the Imran-led government’s choice to send Faiz to Kabul shortly after the Taliban took power in 2021, when the former spymaster was heard on tape reassuring everyone that “everything will be okay”.
Gen (retd) Faiz was questioned by a reporter, “What do you hope is going to happen now in Afghanistan?”
