      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The inquiry commission in Faizabad sit-in has summoned former IG of Punjab Captain Arif Nawaz Khan (Retd) and former CPO Rawalpindi Israr Ahmad Abbasi on November 27.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both officials were on duty in 2017 when TLP held its sit-in Islamabad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The commission also summoned former IG Islamabad Khalid Khattak and chief commissioner of Islamabad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources said that Deputy Secretary Interior Muhammad Ayaz has been appointed as the secretary of the commission. A letter has been sent to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority to obtain the video records of the Faizabad sit-in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The inquiry commission was formed under the chairmanship of retired IG Akhtar Ali Shah in the case after the Supreme Court rejected the &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30338478/govt-forms-fact-finding-committee-over-faizabad-sit-in"&gt;fact-finding committee report&lt;/a&gt; of the government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On November 15, Justice Qazi Faez remarked that the commission would be able to &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30340535/sc-says-faizabad-sit-in-commission-can-call-former-army-chief-pm-or-cjp"&gt;summon ex-army chiefs, prime ministers and chief justices&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;
