Hunter launched on General Faiz Hameed in Pakistan, is this the beginning of a big clean-up operation?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Our neighboring country Pakistan is going through a strange political and military turmoil these days. What happened there is rarely heard of in history. Former chief of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI, Lieutenant General (retired) Faiz Hameed is now in military custody and court martial proceedings are going on against him. There was a time when Faiz Hameed was considered the most powerful man of Pakistan, and today he is in the clutches of the law. But the rumor that is hot in the corridors of Islamabad and Rawalpindi is that “This is just the beginning.” What is Faiz Hameed’s crime? On the surface, the Army has said that Faiz Hameed misused his position in the “Top City Housing Society” case. He is accused of corruption and threatening people. But will a former ISI chief be brought in just for a housing society feud? After knowing, we believe that the matter is much deeper than this. It is not just corruption, it is a matter of ‘discipline’. Rumors and things said in hushed tones are indicating that the current Army Chief General Asim Munir is running a “cleanliness campaign” within the army. Faiz Hameed was considered very close to Imran Khan. It is alleged that even after retirement, he was interfering in politics and breaking the discipline of the army. Pakistani media and experts say that this action is a strong message for the other generals and officers that if you break the “chain of command” or join hands with any politician to form a factionalism against the army, then your old uniform will not be able to save you. Now what next? Whose turn will come next? “This punishment is just the beginning” The meaning behind this line is that the heat of the investigation can now reach all those people who had supported Faiz Hameed. It is being said that Imran Khan’s supporters (Pro-Imran Elements) sitting within the army are now under the shadow of fear. There is news that through Faiz Hameed, those secrets which are related to the violence and political upheaval of May 9 can also be revealed. The gossip going on in the social media and drawing rooms there is that the list is long. It is possible that in the coming days, some more big names, whether military or civilian, may come into this trap. Pakistan Army has proved that no individual is bigger than the ‘Institution’. Faiz Hameed, who once used to say “everything will be fine” while sipping tea in Afghanistan, is now in trouble himself. It will be interesting to see which direction Pakistan’s politics will take now.
