When reminded that PTI’s founding chairman, Imran Khan, had indeed called for such proceedings, Gohar said he did not remember this issue.
On Monday, the military’s media wing disclosed that Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed had been placed under military custody, with field general court martial proceedings initiated against him related to the Top City housing scheme scandal. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced that the action was taken under the Pakistan Army Act, following Supreme Court orders.
