ANP Moves Court Against Former PM Imran Khan, Ex-ISI Chief Faiz Hameed Over Militants’ ‘Resettlement’ 

Published on

Awami National Party (ANP) provincial president Aimal Wali Khan has filed a petition in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) seeking action against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and former director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) retired Lt Gen Faiz Hameed for allegedly facilitating the resettlement of militants in Pakistan.

ANP filed the petition through advocates Babar Khan Yousafzai and Khizar Hayat Khazana.

The petitioner also made other officials of Imran Khan-led government, including former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Mahmood Khan, and former special assistant to chief minister Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif, respondents.

The ANP provincial president also requested the court to form a committee to investigate the alleged resettlement of militants in Pakistan. The results of the probe committee should be made public, he said.

He said the government had made considerable progress in eliminating terrorism from the country. However, after Imran Khan came to power, he constantly made statements regarding the resettlement of trained militants from Afghanistan into Pakistan.

The petition added the resettlement could not have been made possible without the involvement of the former ISI chief.

Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) targeting security officials in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

TTP is supported by the Taliban-led Afghan government.
