Govt hails Faiz Hamid’s sentence as ‘historic, landmark’ for accountability system
- Vawda says May 9 perpetrators will also face consequences.
- Nation to face effects of Bajwa and Hamid’s actions: Asif.
- Tarar says Hamid crossed red lines and interfered politically.
Political leaders belonging to ruling alliance have reacted to the conviction of former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Faiz Hamid, who was sentenced to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment by the Field General Court Martial (FGCM).
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, Hamid was tried under provisions of the Pakistan Army Act on four charges related to engaging in political activities, violation of the Official Secret Act, detrimental to the safety and interest of the state, misuse of authority and government resources, and causing wrongful loss to persons.
The ISPR added that Hamid was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 14 years rigorous imprisonment by the court, which was promulgated on December 11, 2025.
‘Pakistan will reap harvest of past decisions’
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that the nation will face the consequences of decisions made under former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and the ex-spymaster.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Asif wrote, “The country will keep reaping the harvest of seeds sown by Faiz Hamid and General [retd] Bajwa for years.”
“May God forgive us. May those in power recognise that authority is a divine trust and use it for the welfare of His creation. May the fear of God guide the rulers. Ameen.”
‘No one is bigger than Pakistan’
Separately speaking to Geo News, Senator Faisal Vawda said that the conviction marks “just the beginning,” adding that the May 9-related cases are expected to move forward next.
Vawda said that if a former senior army officer can be tried in the May 9 cases, “you can imagine the fate of the real perpetrators” involved in the violence.
He said that a foundation has now been laid for a system of accountability and justice in the country and stressed that “no one is bigger than Pakistan.”
The senator said that the retired lt general had caused harm to the country, its institutions, politics, and judiciary through misuse of authority.
‘Historic and landmark decision’
Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar, while speaking to Geo News, described the verdict as a “historic” and “landmark” decision, saying that the decision strengthens the rule of law and accountability mechanisms in Pakistan.
Tarar said that red lines had been crossed and political interference had taken place. He said that the former ISI chief had acted as a political adviser to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and provided the party with “full political support.”

Khloé Kardashian is embracing her single life — and she’s not interested in changing that anytime soon.
On the recent episode of The Kardashians, Khloe, 41, confirmed she has been both single and celibate for four years. Asked by a producer if it had truly been that long since she was last intimate with someone, Kardashian thought back to her split from Tristan Thompson before their son Tatum was born.
“Yes, four years this December,” she said, joking that there are “cobwebs” after so much time without activity.
Her comments came after she laughed about the mic pack placement while getting wired up. “You know that the cord is literally up my p—, like the antenna, is like up my v****a,” she said. “I’ve never had anything down there in so many years….”
When asked if she misses romance after four years out of the dating scene, Kardashian didn’t hesitate. “F— no,” she said. “I don’t think a man or a date or anything is gonna happen anytime soon. And I don’t want it to.” She added a message for potential suitors: “Stay the f— away from me.”
Kardashian said she doesn’t miss the highs of new love either. “When I’m thinking about love and I’m like, ‘Aw, I miss the butterflies’ — then I’m like, no I don’t… You’re all f—— nuts and all you guys do is add problems and drama and stress and tears.”
She has spoken openly on her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land about her focus on her children, saying, “I’m not dating, I don’t care to. My focus is on just my kids.”
Still, she told Jay Shetty she remains hopeful about the future. “I do believe in happily ever after… I’m always going to be that girl.”
Isla Fisher has expressed her emotions following the tragic death of English author Sophie Kinsella.
The 49-year-old worked in a popular film titled Confessions of a Shopaholic; a story written by the late author. She played the role of Rebecca Bloomwood in the movie.
As a tribute, Isla took it to her Instagram to pay her condolences on Sophie’s passing.
Along with Kinsella’s picture, the Now You See Me star wrote, “Dear Sophie, you conjured Rebecca Bloomwood, a hilarious flawed dream of a comic character – and I was lucky enough to step into her shoes and speak your witty & brilliant words.”
Fisher confessed that she still considers the late 55-year-old writer as her hero.
“My daughters grew up being read your books and love them to this day. My heart is broken. You are still my hero, and I’m grateful for you,” added the Wedding Crashers actress.
She continued, “And though we won’t meet again, your light and magic lives on in your incredible characters.”
In another Instagram story, she shared the image of the film’s poster and wrote, “I’m so heartbroken that you are gone @sophiekinsellawriter.”
Sophie passed away on December 10 after fighting a long battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer.
