For the first time in Pakistan’s 75 years of history protests took place against ISI Maj Gen Faisal, all-powerful Peshawar Corps Commander for allegedly having a hand in former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s assassination attempt.
Hours after the assassination attempt against Imran Khan, people held protests in front of the Corps Commander House in Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as per a video shared by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Taking to Twitter, PTI said, “When non-political people conduct political press conferences and when people see no action against those threatening Imran Khan, the mistrust in the Establishment grows. It is alarming to see people protesting in front of Corps Commander House Peshawar!”
Earlier, PTI Chief Imran Khan suggested a proposal for the appointment of the army chief but Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif rejected that and instead offered to discuss the Charter of Democracy and Charter of Economy, The Express Tribune reported.
“Imran had suggested that we give him three names and he gives three names for the post of army chief and then we decide on the appointment of the new chief from those six names,” The Express Tribune quoted the Pakistan PM as saying with the bloggers.
PTI chief was injured after a man opened fire at him in Gujranwala near the party’s reception camp. The former prime minister sustained injuries on his leg and has been shifted to a hospital for treatment, Geo News reported.
