Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti thinks it would not be good for the nation to call former army chief (retd) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and former director general of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) (retd) General Faiz Hameed for questioning about the 2017 Faizabad sit-in case. In an interview, he declared, “Pakistan’s interest is always to move forward.” On November 15, the federal government established a new panel to investigate the Faizabad sit-in. A notification of this commission was sent to a Supreme Court bench that was considering challenges against the court’s 2019 decision in the matter. Justice Qazi Faez Isa, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, had stated at the hearing that the commission had the authority to summon anyone for a probe and that no one would be excluded.
