In a shocking development on Monday, the military’s media wing said that Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed has been taken into military custody and the process of field general court martial has been initiated against him about the Top City housing scheme scandal.

“Appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated against the former spymaster under provisions of the Pakistan Army Act,” the Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.

According to the ISPR, the action was taken following the Supreme Court orders into the case.

On August 15, the military further took three retired military personnel into custody for their alleged link with former ISI DG Faiz Hameed.

The deputy Pentagon press secretary was about the US reaction to the recent decisions taken by the military relating to the alleged violations of the Military Act, 1992 committed by former army officials.

The reporter also sought the Pentagon’s reaction to the senior politicians’ statement that apparently the US only contacts the Pakistani military more directly instead of the people-to-people relationship instead of the diplomatic.

In response, Singh said: “The US values our partnership with Pakistan and engages with both military and civilian leaders based on mutual interests.”
