00:00The biggest news today was from the side of ISPR.
00:05Generally, ISPR says that every news is big news.
00:10But this was a bigger news than that.
00:12When it was told that General Faiz Hamid, former DG ISI,
00:16former Lieutenant General has been arrested.
00:19Court-martial against him, General Court-martial has been initiated.
00:24Top city case in Supreme Court.
00:26It was a case of human rights.
00:28In which allegations were put on General Faiz Hamid.
00:31And Supreme Court had decided at that time
00:34and had said through the Ministry of Defence
00:36that it should be looked into.
00:38And in that light, in the light of that Supreme Court's decision,
00:42detailed investigations were done.
00:44And the proceedings were initiated under the Army Act.
00:47And as I said, General Faiz Hamid's
00:49General Court-martial has been initiated.
00:54Who is General Faiz Hamid?
00:56Why is he being called so extraordinary?
00:58When was the last time you heard
01:00that a Lieutenant General, especially a former DG ISI,
01:04has been arrested, court-martialed?
01:07This news, generally, has never passed through our eyes.
01:11I am sure it has never passed through your eyes.
01:13Not only that it was a Top City case.
01:16It has also been said that on several occasions,
01:18even after his retirement,
01:20on several occasions,
01:22he was found guilty of violating the Pakistan Army Act.
01:26That is, even after his retirement,
01:28he violated the Army Act.
01:30I am sure if it had been looked at more closely,
01:32then when DG ISI came,
01:34he would have violated many things at that time as well.
01:37There is a complete history of General Faiz.
01:40If you ask people of today,
01:44if you ask common people,
01:46one name or two names that they know,
01:48among our armed forces,
01:50one name would be General Faiz.
01:52And the reason for this was his involvement in politics.
01:54There was a lot of involvement.
01:56The establishment of the army
01:58should have nothing to do with politics.
02:00This is a position that is very old for me.
02:04And I think, I am sure, many people agree with this.
02:07But what happened?
02:09General Faiz was DGC between 2016 and 2018.
02:14During this time, he also held elections in 2018.
02:17There were questions on those elections.
02:19South Punjab Mahas was made.
02:21How people were broken up from one party
02:23and joined another party.
02:25Even before that, interference in politics,
02:27cases were made against the people who were political,
02:31punishments were given.
02:33And you will remember, at that time,
02:35Maikama Zaraat was very popular.
02:37It became a joke,
02:39because when someone was pressured
02:41to change their loyalty,
02:43and initially, that politician
02:45held a press conference.
02:47Later, he said,
02:49I made a mistake,
02:51they were Maikama Zaraat's people.
02:53So, there was interference to this extent.
02:55After the 2018 elections,
02:57Tariq-e-Insaf became the government.
02:59And this was repeatedly told in the last 3-3.5 years,
03:01at that time and even after that,
03:03how General Faiz, as DGC,
03:05played the role of running the government.
03:09At one time, when votes were needed
03:11of the government members,
03:13people were locked up in rooms
03:15so that they could vote the next day.
03:17On different bills, on different laws,
03:19votes of confidence,
03:21all these votes were completed,
03:23and a lot of help was given.
03:25At that time, the Prime Minister used to say
03:27that he has kept the whole government together,
03:29and he has kept everyone together for a long time.
03:31So, if you want to look at things
03:33after retirement,
03:35then you can also look at things
03:37before retirement.
03:39In that too, you will see a difference
03:41between Halaf and other political matters.
03:43I don't know
03:45whether any action can be taken on this or not.
03:47But,
03:49General Faiz played a political role
03:51during his tenure
03:53when he was DGC
03:55or he was DG ISI.
03:57Now, the Field Court,
03:59the Court-Martial has started.
04:01Let's see what kind of news it is,
04:03how fast this Court-Martial will go ahead,
04:05what decision it will make,
04:07and where the matters will go ahead.
04:09We will keep an eye on this.
04:11The second thing we want to talk about today
04:13is the Supreme Court's decision
04:15under which the election commission's decision
04:17was revoked and three seats
04:19which were given to Tariq-e-Insaf
04:21according to the decision of Lahore High Court
04:23were given back to Muslim League Noon.
04:25When I say given back,
04:27these seats were not of Noon.
04:29These seats were won by
04:31the people of Tariq-e-Insaf
04:33in the election of 8th February.
04:35The High Court said
04:37that if the process of election is completed,
04:39then the election commission
04:41cannot intervene.
04:43This was written in the initial decision
04:45of the High Court.
04:47But, the Supreme Court has given
04:49the decision of 2-1.
04:51Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi
04:53upholded the High Court's decision
04:55that the High Court's decision was right
04:57and the election commission
04:59did not have the power.
05:01But, two judges, Justice Qazi Faizi
05:03and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan
05:05have given this decision.
05:07What was the interesting story
