Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman stated that while it is appropriate to court-martial a general over allegations, those who commit treason against the national security of the country should also be held accountable.
In a reference to the military's decision to court martial former intelligence chief Faiz Hameed, the JI chief alleged that the rulers negotiated the revocation of Kashmir's special status with Modi as part of an understanding.
He claimed that reports were indicating that former army chief General (r) Qamar Javed Bajwa was also involved in this compromise.
"If court martials are being conducted over minor issues, then action should also be taken if anyone is implicated in this national issue; otherwise, the ISPR should clarify the matter to the nation," he asserted while addressing a public rally in Peshawar.
Hafiz Naeem gave the government a 40-day ultimatum to address his party's demands, threatening a long march to D-Chowk if these conditions were not met. He slammed the government's handling of national security and political issues, calling for accountability for those who betray national interests.
He also condemned the alleged electoral fraud and claimed that the public has been exploited for 77 years.
Hafiz Naeem asserted that if the government failed to provide relief within 40 days, JI would mobilise its supporters for a nationwide protest, starting with a march to D-Chowk.
