ISLAMABAD \u2013 Federal Minister for Information Ataullah Tarar described the sentencing of former ISI DG Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed as a historic decision, calling it a victory for truth and justice.<\/p>\n

Ata Ullah Tarar said the Pakistan Army\u2019s system and the country\u2019s legal mechanisms are robust.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case involved extensive evidence presented over a long period, with numerous witness statements recorded. Faiz Hameed, acting as PTI\u2019s political advisor, engaged in conspiracies against the country. Today\u2019s verdict is historic,\u201d said Attaullah Tarar while talking to a local private TV on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He added that Faiz Hameed had crossed the red line. \u201cEven after retirement, when political activities were prohibited, he became PTI\u2019s political advisor and provided full political support to the party,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

Ataullah Tarar also highlighted Hameed\u2019s involvement in creating unrest during the May 9 incidents, inciting rebellion against the state, and misusing authority in the housing society case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions have been proven, making this a landmark decision that strengthens the legal and justice system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister emphasised that the trial was fair, giving Hameed full opportunity to present evidence and witnesses in his defence. He added that the investigations into political activities linked to Hameed are ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll allegations against him have been established. His political involvement was significant, and as PTI\u2019s political advisor, he actively engaged in conspiracies and created disorder in the country,\u201d Ataullah Tarar said.<\/p>\n

He added that the May 9 events were serious as the investigations continuing into the role of Hameed\u2019s political assistants, who were allegedly attempting to undermine the writ of the state.<\/p>\n
